cheesiest/most unoriginal response to the prompt: “i want my words to inspire you…” literally, 3 people in my class had that as their opening sentence.
haha, I must admit I do have that IN there, but at least it’s not the starting sentence

What I want my words to do to you…
This was our prompt for AP Lit. First draft. Not good, just posting for fun I guess. It just kinda sums up a lot of the “epiphanies” I had throughout the year…
~~~
I want my words to hit you and change you in the ways that I want to change. I want them to help you to see the other point of view, even if it’s not one that I share. I want my words to help you to become more understanding. Understanding not in the most surface value in the word but the kind of understanding that comes when you realize that everything doesn’t have to share the same set of standards that you do. Not agreeing with something doesn’t mean you have to condemn it. I want my words to make you realize that you have to take charge of your own personal joy. It may be impacted by external events but it is solely up to you to find the good and focus on it. Stare at the burning light of anything good until that is all you see. There will still be shadows, there always is but you have to ignore these things. Set them in your peripheries; focus on the brighter things ahead. I want my words not to convey a belief that I am above you or better than you if I try to give you advice, but rather a sense of hope and camaraderie as I share my personal stories and the things I do, the good and the bad, as I try to pull myself up by my bootstraps. To spark ideas that can form in your heads of what it is you can do to make a conscious effort. I want my words to inspire you to make that effort, no matter how silly the things you do to get there. I want my words to be the cause of little epiphanies about life, even if those epiphanies are trumped by new ones tomorrow. I want my words to be spoken caringly, and not come out as cliché. I want my words to begin to let you understand that everything is a balance. To make you realize how much we fail to imagine others complexly. But also how sometimes we think of ourselves as too complex. While people on the outside of a situation cant see all the intricacies, we sometimes cant see the big picture. I want my words to convey a love of change and learning and adjusting due to whatever lessons are given to you, whether looked for, stumbled upon, or thrown in your face. I want my words to unleash a passion in you, for whatever it is you love and to always encourage you to fuel that passion to make that passion, and just life in general, about others, that seems to work. I will continue to repeat my words because I want them to help you learn from my lessons and I want myself to not forget them. I want my words to effect you so that if I forget them, my realizations over the last year have not been sorely in vain.
Once again bored, so once again recording myself singing. haha

My computer loves to stop recording randomly, hence the awkward ending in the middle of a word.
