This is how is works:
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works:
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to like the things you took
-Regina Spektor "On the Radio"
Day 01
I haven't written anything in almost a year.
I used to write like a fiend.
Writing was my drug of choice.
I'm a runner.
Not the kind that involves exercise, the kind that involved avoiding your problems.
And I'm a pro.
I push people away who don't deserve to be pushed.
And if this is you I'm sorry.
I keep people close who don't deserve to be kept close ( and a few who do ).
I make excuses: for myself, for other people.
I stay awake for days, literally.
I think too much about things that don't matter.
I think too little about things that do matter.
I believe that people are generally good, albeit misguided.
Politics make me kind of sick and I am disappointed beyond belief in this country.
I wish I cared more about the environment, but I don't.
I make terrible choices.
Generally, I feel no sympathy or empathy for other people.
I give too much of myself.
I'm trying to figure myself out.
I'm trying to figure life out.
I'm trying to care.
I'm trying to try.
Things I need:
a change....
....of scenery
....of pace
some sleep
a good book
a massage
a break
a bubble bath
a beer
that is all.
peace.out.
