Wallabies and Wannabes
To Whom It May Concern:
I write to inform you that you face a very urgent choice. You can experience the beautiful things before your eyes in the fleeting seconds that they exist, appreciating and enjoying the life given to you, or you can do your homework. The choice is yours, but I strongly recommend one option over the other. Perhaps you can guess which one it is.
The world is shaped like this: There are flowers and trees, and there are thick textbooks. There is a cosmic dance of stars and planets in the night sky, and there is verb conjugation. There are entertaining and deep conversations with close friends, and there are essays on such historic early inventions as the sharp stick. There is thirst-quenching rain that comes in the middle of the night, reflecting the warm streetlights on the glossy black pavement and sending the world into a sparkling frenzy of dark and light, and there are quadratic equations.
I realize that there exist such things as responsibility and success and money. And I imagine some of them may be important to you. And you can choose to do your homework if that's really what you want. But don't come whining to me when you're not having any fun.
Honestly yours,
Bensaki
