of forgetting and remembering
that life moves forward like an endless stream through pebbles, over rocks, with sand on the embankments, under soil, and how many of us, ever take the chance to go with where life takes us?
instead we hike up our bottoms and trudged against the current aiming for the spring from whence it came.
instead we take a row boat and we swap the oars for motor and we add sails and we leave traces of...
of goodbyes and hellos
i keep running away.
i keep disconnecting
but somehow they find me
and somehow they know why
and still i run away
and still they search
i just want to disappear.
just let me disappear
goodbye to everyone who knew me
goodbye to good intentions
hello to brand new strangers.
hello to brand new lies

I’m learning how to play the guitar. I always wanted to but never made the effort. It’s strange that you never learn how easy things actually are until you try to do it.
experiment hypothesis#5:
some people will remember us not for what we’ve said but for how we made them feel.
Some of the most successful relationships started with lies and deceit because that’s where they end up anyway.
so after all, after everything, after the event, after the knowledge that you’re just another thread in the tapestry, you still occupy the highest point of the pedestal. I wish I could tear you down from where I’ve built you up to but I destroyed the ladder and it doesn’t matter how many stones I throw at you, it just falls back down on me.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have. ~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Why did you want to take hope away from me?
what purpose does it serve to deprive me of hope?
you deprived me of hope
you deprived me of love
you deprived me of faith
you deprived me of smiles
you deprived me of tears
you deprived me of sleep
you deprived me of myself
did you hope to create an empty space...
“Whether you think of it as heavenly or as earthly, if you love life immortality is no consolation for death.” ~ Simone de Beauvoir
“…how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!… There can be no peace without hope.” ~ Albert Camus

“I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it… The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself; lying to other is relatively the exception.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, 1894/1990, The Anti-Christ (R. J. Hollingdale, Trans.), p. 185

No I don’t regret loving you.
Or telling you I love you.
I don’t regret anything about you.
Once there was a time when I wanted to regret you.
But even now, after you’ve taken all of me, after you’ve destroyed my heart and crushed it under the weight of your foot, you can still make me smile.
And how could I ever tell my mind to let you go.
How could I ever...

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?

“What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself...

Let’s play a game, said the rabbit to the turtle.
I’d rather just lie down and sleep, said the turtle to the rabbit.
You can’t just sleep all day, said the rabbit to the turtle.
But i can dream all day. And the rabbit curled up on a cloud and dreamt all day.
