if i never feel at home again then at least let me experience the world i’ll touch the moon in many puddles, ponds and puddly ponds i’ll see places where all seasons change and some without any i’ll watch leaves fall and dogwoods grow and meet people whose gossip I can’t understand i’ll seek refuge…

It’s late and I meant to go to bed an hour ago but there has been something on my mind lately. I feel like for a long time I was obsessed with finding the meaning to life, finding my meaning in life. As if there was a specific reason that I was put here to…

About 6 months ago i realized that i’ve been handicapping myself by excusing some of my behavioral choices through anxiety reasoning. I realized that there were things in my life i was allowing myself to say I couldn’t do, when actually i really just didn’t want to. I loved my warm, cozy, comfortable lifestyle that…

I’ve learned that I can’t have what I don’t know I want, and what I mean is I’m tired of yearning for lost things that I didn’t care enough to ensure I didn’t lose. Not knowing you want something is a form of losing it before you even fully have it. It’s like failing a…

Screenshots of books I want to read, or songs I once lived for, and…

This past Friday, in my marine biology lecture, I learned that sponges are animals. They can’t move, they have no organs, or thoughts but yet they, by definition, are classified as an animal. An animal that sits stationary on the ocean floor and spends 24 hours of the day pulling water through its pores, filtering…

2/13/2024 January came and went this year. Expect it didn’t because each week felt like a different year of my life spent existing. The days often felt never ending and sometimes I’d wake up and it was as if they hadn’t. January was a blink, it went by as if I was simply rubbing out…

7/15/2023 I wouldn’t be surprised if the yearn to fit in came in unison with the foundational gaining of consciousness. I cannot undoubtedly declare that my gaining of consciousness came at any exact moment in time. Although, I reason that in a programmed society consciousness evolves and distorts when new information contradicts the previously held…

3/29/2023 It collects on my eyelashes and no matter how much I brush, rub, and bat, the dust always appears to come right back. From my very tip top and on down to my toes I gather this dust like an old object set a stow. While some collect dolls and others rare coins, not…
