See me in "forever". Don't let the clock run out on us. Find me in this moment when the trust dissolves into dust. If I am breathing let me feel. If I'm lost, find a light. But you and I and forever may be gone without a fight. Because you've given up and I am … Continue reading At the end of “us”

Optimism
I don't want to be here. This place, my soul hates, this void of existence....but here I am. People talk from the outside about who I should be, who I am, the next moves I should make in this existence that is my life. What do they know? This place is a place of pain, … Continue reading Optimism

One deal I recently ran into allowed me to get several new magazine subscriptions … Continue reading On Changes and Eggs
