Always remember that
I guess I've found out why I love web-weavings and parallels so much. There's a sense joy and comfort in seeing how we all coming from different places, situations and time periods at the end of the day are not so different at all, we are just humans trying to give a meaning to this being. I love how an advice given by an old writer 30 years ago to a school kid reminds me of the words my uncle told me when I was 15, how the poems and books written 100s of years ago by people you've never met have been the closest thing that felt like home to you, how the rage and yearning bleeds from the words of one writer to the brush strokes of another artist and to the music of another, how someone right now must be musing about the same moon that a little child looked at awe 1000 years ago. It's beautiful how we're so different and yet so similar because someone somewhere at some point of time felt the same things as you and decided to let it out so that you'll remember you aren't alone.

listening to 'who we are' for the first time was a religious experience.
to hold me like water or, Christ, hold me like a knife
we're born at night so much of our lives is just carving through the dark to get so far and the hardest part is who are it's who we are
you only feel it when it's lost getting through still has its cost quietly, it slips through your fingers, love falling from you drop by drop
like dude. that's going to take 10-15 business days to process
Both the past and the future need to be taken care of.
However, not so much that the past overtakes the future and the future overlooks the past.
Not so much that they overwhelm the present.
i thought you were crying wolf, but you weren't. who am i to be so sceptical of your cries? dilapidated by my hands, your life was terminated by my faithlessness in you. is forgiveness something the insentient can give? but how am i to be deserving when i heard your cries so irreverently.
