Maybe I can just quit my job and buy a little farm and grow pokeweed and poison ivy.
STOP! are you operating on an arbitrary set of terms and rules known only to you? have you created an ultimatum or specific if/then scenario for someone else without communicating it to them? have you considered making a decision and calculated all the consequences and potential reactions to those consequences and consequences for those reactions before you actually made the decision? it may be time to say some words out loud to another person!
Forget spite fences, I planted a spite catalpa tree a few years ago and now it's blooming!
mirrors lie
March 13, 2023
Mirrors lie.
Your eyes do, too, turning everything topsy-turvy to show you something you can work with, something you can navigate, not necessarily something true. Sometimes you only see what you expect. Sometimes you only see what you want to see.
Nothing moved in the room, but the headlights of car flashed briefly though the window.
The streak you saw go by on your right wasn’t the cat, just a floater or defect in your eye itself, maybe your own hair caught floating on the frames of your glasses.
The face you think you see in the mirror isn’t yours at all but a picture of someone you never knew, someone who died six months ago.
Maybe you were never there at all.
People can be made of lies, can be nothing but stories told to themselves, to you, to the universe.
The internet lies all the time.
