Liberation,
true liberation, is coming to know at last that all is meaningless and nothing matters. What joy erupts in your heart at the departure of worth inaccurately attributed.
I repeat: Nothing matters. Nothing ever has.

A Realization
The only way to transcend the Ego is to become a personage, to collect and hang ideals on your line like laundry to dry. We must surpass our own subjective, intuitive perceptions if we are to ever know divinity.

Detoxing, abstaining, yoga-ing, transcending the Ego, becoming one.
All that jazz. Every day, on repeat.

Giving up sweets and processed foods. heeeeeya
Sometimes I forget that drinking a lot of water makes you super full… and is therefore an obstacle when you’re whipping up a pot of black bean stew and your eyes are 100x bigger than your stomach. I want an endless stomach. Food is too fucking good.

It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous,...

I am honestly just elated right now. Never have I felt more certain about my future and my feelings. I LOVE LEARNING. I’m going to be incredibly successful in what I want to do, and everything is going to work out. It was always meant to. Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Today, on Valentine’s Day, I’d like you to all take a moment to reflect on...

The Business of Consumer Holidays
Here, here folks! We have for sale the most
decadent box of decaying teeth in existence.
Rotting, decomposing gums included free of charge.
Well now, what a splendidly sweet taste;
How delectable love truly is.
False sentiments fixed
to erode that vivid smile you achieved
“In Just 1 Tube!” And at the most remarkable price-$2.99
I was sold at first glance,
tempted with...
Trying not to talk to someone it seems you’ve spent your entire life reading and re-reading like the lines of your favorite book is torturous.
This too shall pass, yeah?
Reflective, yet optimistic. Best way to describe it.
Littered Bruises
A volatile violet-
the foreboding hue that permeates horizons prior to
the sky’s fits of anger and
sullen weeping-
lay crestfallen.
And might love’s martyrs exist solely
as tenderness?
Or battered flesh as a memento?
Tranquility sighs in the aftermath
illuminating manifestations of sorrow-
sprawling limbs, speckled.

Good ol’ Miles Davis and last minute studying/research papers.

I want to spend all my days cuddling you on the mega bed and eating falafel and reading books and laughing our laugh, because we are one.
Didn’t I see you when you thought you’d never stand out?

I cannot take this for unfaltering coincidence- that I have not only read, but invested my soul in a book, at each point in my life, that has been of inexplicable nourishment to my being. And what’s more, pivotal in my development. I am at ease.
I’d recommend every literate individual read The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. Beyond phenomenal. I am most impressed with the simple style...

One
Smooth syllables form a swaying trio,
Symbolic dancers greet the cliffs of your lips.
Your voice is but an energetic spring
Saturating valleys my mind long ago mapped,
And instantaneously forgot.
Alas, a gentle messenger arrived,
Sculpted with my own potter’s touch.
The soil is deprived and destitute no more.
And you—fertility embodied!
Plainly and unconditionally, with a tender heart
I love...
