A beacon of hope in the lonely night, I know it’s there. I can’t see it in under the depressing fog of city lights. Even the country gives no glimmer under its dark clouds of anxiety. When I do see it, catching a glimpse, I barely notice. I only remember the days when I don’t…
Read moreDear David
You don’t matter anymore, and maybe you never should have. I’m envious of people who grew up without a father, without a reason to explain away a black eye. I don’t want you in my life. I know you made the decision to get rid of me long before I ever even thought about making…
Read moreThe Weed Dilemma
I need to quit weed. I’ve posted this idea before, but I constantly ignore the reason why I enjoy cannabis. It helps me relax.

Read moreThe Comfort of Boredom
Twenty pounds later, and you keep watching TV and smoking weed. You stopped writing, and you’re barely reading. You stopped running. You stopped taking chances. You stopped fucking putting yourself out there. All of this just to get comfortable. All of this because of boredom. So… What’s next?

Read moreDigital Dementia or Landscape Lucidness?
As the pandemic’s third wave is drastically decreasing in my area, people are getting vaccines, and the warm weather is finally upon us, it’s time for a digital break. Too much time watching videos and TV, playing video games, and surfing social media actually causes a bit of temporary dementia in people of all ages….
