Absolve.
Forgive others because as a human being, you know all too well that nothing and no one is perfect, that everyone and everything has flaws. Forgive others because you, too, need forgiveness sometimes. Forgive others because what is the use in carrying yet another ounce of hatred for another day after day after day, heavy upon your soul? Forgive others because there is no need for any more hate in...
Free.
Black scribbles upon a clean sheet of white: confusion runs amuck. Wants and needs become one, throwing themselves into one another, losing meaning, losing sense. What is it that you even want? What is it that you need?
Clean sheet of white, pristine and stainless: clarity reigns. Nothing, nothingness. You do not want and you do not need, therefore you are. You are being, just being apart from...
“Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When...”
– Christina Rossetti “Remember”
Death is inevitable. We all know that one day, we will find ourselves face to face with it, with her, perhaps: the hammering of a heart against bone much like an unsteady knock on a wooden door, a weakness in one’s knees much like a beaten yellow flower, now broken and faded, being blown over by a chilly wind. And we know that this day will come, we are so aware of its arrival, so terrified...
#55 I am a realist, though an optimist and a true romantic as well. I speak the truth, I accept the reality of life and fate’s quick hand. However, I do my very best to look at the world through a rosy lens, seeing beauty where others may see something hideous. I am easily swayed by men with kind words and sweet gestures, deep minds, and a beautiful mouth. A realist and a romantic.
Getting hurt is inevitable. Pain will always wriggle its way into your life through the tiny cracks and crevices of your perfectly painted facade. So, rather than wasting away on the cold closet floor living in constant fear of the pain which will one day come, why don’t you just savor the happiness you find? Make the most of it, truly enjoy and appreciate it for what it is. Do the things...

Word.
I love words. I love the way that sharp black lines can connect to make tiny little letters, which, piled along next to each other create words. And then those tiny little words create sentences and each word has significant meaning, means something to someone, can change everything. I love that one word, one small, perfectly printed can really be something so large. I love that something so...
“You are more important than you realize.”
War.
In a way, we’re all searching for something, for the same thing, really. As different as we may be, or think ourselves to be, we are all the same for we all work towards the same purpose, towards finding ourselves, our true selves and for the hope of acceptance of said self. And because of this, this simple yet astounding fact, shouldn’t we all find a little empathy within us, a little...

For you.
My mind may be fragile sometimes, my bones may be weak. I may not always stand with my shoulders rolled back, I may not always be strong. But I promise you this, I will give you everything that I am. I will do whatever it takes to make things okay for you, to make you happy. No matter what. And despite my many character flaws and all of the mistakes I have made, I do think that that is worth...
Thank you, Kid Cudi. For your words, for your...
I sit on the cold, plastic gray seat, black headphones placed carefully in my listening ears, eyes trained on the scenery beyond the window. As the bus crawls along down the dark paved streets of a crowded city, the voice of a well-known ‘rapper’ floods through my body, beyond my ears, beneath my skin, into my bones. The voice speaks words that create a warm comfort in my chest, the...
I refuse to fail. I refuse to sit down and wallow in my own self-pity. No, I will not fall to my already bruised and muddied knees to allow someone/something to reign victory over me. No, I will not fail. I will work, work as hard as my body is physically capable. I will succeed, I will shine, I will make a difference. Watch me.

Dear Reader,
I am passionate, too passionate perhaps. Too willing to give all that I have to those who do not care to give anything in return. Perhaps, this is a flaw, perhaps it is my greatest flaw. But, perhaps, the world could use a few more hearts such as my own.
For this thumping mass of vein, tissue, and blood, is willing to give all that it is to anyone, to everyone, and I suppose that in a way, that...
