leitmotif:
I said to myself, late one night, something that struck me so hard I had my thoughts on repeat to remember until morning: “I know nothing about tomorrow but everything about today. I know nothing about tomorrow but everything about today.” I wondered why that moving day-long faith doesn’t last just a little while longer; isn’t it cruel how tomorrow comes as I begin to feel alive? No,...

voices underwater

i talk about the sky a lot because sometimes i feel like there’s one inside my chest. tongue-tied, star-wide, stretching from my thoughts to my skinned knees. like some ink stained cobweb that my fingers try to brush against when it feels so close that i could put it in the pocket of my coat. it flickers like candles in mason jars and i try to feel it all warm and wet waiting for the...

laying in bed listening to walking by the dodos at the moment. trying to drown my boredom away. will probably finish reading you shall know our velocity by dave eggers later on tonight. for now though i will just lay here and let my mind race. what else is new. no social life leads to self-deprecating thoughts and existentialism.
“But see how we are the same? You and I? We both see strangers and we react. We...”

i have always had this idea of what “cool” is, but it’s not definite and it’s never a conscious thought. infact, i know without a doubt that it has rarely provided truth instead of the distortion of it. there are so many people i have met in my life that did not meet the criteria, that didn’t listen to the music i thought they should and weren’t interested in the ideas i believed were...

I’m so human. I’m so pathetic. I always want to keep tiny little real moments in my life in my pockets, thinking i could keep them forever like it’s something tangible. But i guess it doesn’t work that way. I’m always playing hide and seek with myself. Constantly seeking and seeking for something true and real i can share with someone, anyone....
I’m just really tired of everything.

i used to know you, i secretly told you everything about me in my mind. but you didn’t hear a thing cause quite frankly your skies are blue and my skies are grey. there’s no such thing as mixing and matching. We’re merely feeling the same things at different stages in our lives. does that mean anything? and is it worth going after it? Some say yes and...

people never tend to look my way and when they do it’s always something else. oh the feeling of going unnoticed. i think i’d rather have someone be mad at me than be apathetic about me. at least the mad ones know i exist. is that horrible? does that even make sense?
That is what people do. They stay alive for each...
