there was nobody else there but me
notes
Whatever this world is, whatever you are, whatever I am, we are here now. Interacting. Reacting to each other. Responding to each other. Affecting each other. We are here now. Whatever unknowns there may be, I know that I am here as I am. With you. From my end, I show you me as me. This is me. This is us now. No matter whatever else may be, I […]
I love that you keep bringing me into your world.
Let me all the way inlet me past the surfacelet me feel the exact shape of youlet me know you without translationlet me close the gap for one second.

We don’t choose our emotions the way people think we do. They arise from context, experience, pattern, proximity, memory and it happens whether we like it or not. What we do with it is what we have control over but people get stuck arguing about whether the emotion is valid, real, if it makes sense, or if it’s appropriate instead of asking what might be the causes. When people […]
The most important lesson, and useful lesson, that I have learned in my life so far is that there is really nobody else that I can rely on except for myself. Everyone will fuck us over at least once in our life. But can we really blame them? No. Because that is the way people are. We are just all doing things that will benefit us in one form […]
How can you survive when hope is not present? When everything is meaningless and points to a dead end? How do you go on when nothing is worth the pain and suffering?
