[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i feel so old now. life is passing by so fast and everything sucks.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i wish i was one of those people who didn’t feel everything so deeply, but i think it may be the job of the artist to feel everything everyone else didn’t want to

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i think i might stop writing about religion for a while

@miniarchillect if you want to offend a strong person, tell them a lie. if you want to offend a weak person, tell them the truth.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

je veux pour beacoup des personnes ecoutent a moi, vraiment.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

je suis sovereign, amongst the clouds and the stars, over la leviathan

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i think i need a roommate

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i want to cultivate tragic optimism

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i am so thirsty

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i want to feel like i can be myself and be liked at the same time. i can always do one, i can always do the other, but it seems i can never do both. womp. womp. womp.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i just want to feel appreciated and celebrated

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i am losing followers. never had many, but oh well. christians trigger way too much insecurity in me for me to remain silent any longer. i guess i will see how long i continue talking about this. i do have a hard time sticking to things, but i do feel the need to speak

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i think maya angelou said you’re not really writing until what you’re saying scares you. i think it’s the role of the artist to explore the taboo. by speaking the unspeakable, we become liberated.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i tried to not write today and felt so awful

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i think every artist needs to read the courage to be disliked. also, everyone needs to make art. so everyone needs to read the courage to be disliked.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i still have some hurt from the last time i used twitter years ago. that ouch lasted and i need to validate it.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

if i could inspire everyone to read and write poetry every day, crime rates would decrease, conflict decrease, and war would decrease, domestic violence. and divorce. it would not solve all the world’s problems, but poetry is not a luxury.

[maverick @_solomonelijah_]

i drove past my old church a while ago and it’s so embarrassing… my foot has been on their necks for a couple of days, and i would honestly consider it to be a failure if i accidentally gave them a chance to breathe
