Red Light

We race but we all end up in the same place, so take your time and enjoy the scenery.

I Feel.

I wanted to feel again, and now I do. The feelings aren't always pleasant, but I'm no longer numb. I wrote this five years ago: Want to be angry, want to cry.Are these drugs controlling my mind?I try to feel but I am stopped shortBy some [f-ing] chemicals in my brain or some [sh-]--[GODD-IT] FEEL … Continue reading I Feel. →

Keep Going

Agonizingly painful truths and realizations. They say it's so much better on the other side, but I keep wondering if it's an illusion. I suppose I'll never know if I don't keep going. (Accidental rhymes, yo.)

Converse, Connect

I oft have a thirst that seems insatiable. I'm hungry for more. I want more. It's never enough until it's too much and I have to spend my day recuperating in the cool darkness of my closet, jumping at the slightest of noises. And then I have to leave the closet because I am thirsty … Continue reading Converse, Connect →

Fall

A redefining of what I find valuable, of what I find meaningful. I am shedding my leaves.

At times I felt like I wanted to run away but I stayed, I stayed and I had fun. There's still the urge to jump off, but I want … Continue reading Stay on the Board →

Marinating

I stayed inside today. I had been planning to go out but the anxiety was getting to me, and I just wanted to stay home. I've met and interacted with a lot of cool people and now I just want to soak in the experiences. I'll probably be out there again soon enough.

Railings II

I feel like I'm putting up the safeguards and part of me doesn't like that. It's screeching at me to stop, but I continue. I just want to keep going, and my actions have the added effect of being buffers. That part of me, it hates this. It wants to turn away, it wants to … Continue reading Railings II →

It’s Better Right Now

I read through a notebook I used to write in five years ago. It's pretty depressing. I really feel for myself. Back then, I couldn't feel much of anything but depression and apathy, the pain of Nothing. I'm so happy now that I can feel again. I can feel joy again. I don't feel just … Continue reading It’s Better Right Now →

More than One Kind of Cookie

People might want you to believe that there is only one kind of cookie, but don't buy it--don't buy their cookies... unless you really want to. There are a variety of cookies, and one person's delicious could be another's vile. I tried someone's cookies. They had dark chocolate chunks in them. Sweet yet bitter. In … Continue reading More than One Kind of Cookie →
