I was first shown Sarah Kay perform "B" (0:00-3:35) during eighth grade by my sixth grade language arts teacher. Since that first time, I have gone back to this poem countless times. I go back when everything's falling apart. I go back when I need a reality check. Sometimes, I just need to remind myself that I need to have hope and faith in this world.
At 9:18, Kay introduces a list she uses in her classes: 10 Things I Know To Be True. I vaguely remember writing my own list in 8th grade.
Here's my list of a few things I know to be true as of October 10, 2017:
- I love fictional worlds a little too much,
- Chocolate can always make me feel better.
- I always carry too much in my backpacks.
- I will not get over Psych being removed from Netflix.
- I have a lot more truths to discover.
What's something (or a few things) you know to be true?
