Adrift in ennui, we watch heroes & villains fight, assuming our banality. Self-acceptance dams the river of distraction, bridging the gap, turning its pull into the current that propels us. Embrace your nature, arc, and path—letting the charge carry you towards time and chance.

The road from knowledge to understanding is arduous..
Resist, you suffer..
Embrace, the journey’s length remains unchanged..
Either way, the end meets you just the same. So learn, grow, reach truths you’re destined to.. and give love to others.. we’re strolling similar paths.

Are you a complete moron? What do you think happened in the wild?
“Oh, he’s hot. I better sleep with him quick, get pregnant, then run away and fend for myself.”
The true condition of my life often takes shape in my mind and has me, seemingly for no reason, burst into laughter from the absurdity of it all.
It’s not helping make new friends.
If you look ahead at a tough week and know it’s gonna be a bunch of hard days, there’s only two ways to get through it… Jackson Browne or claim you have Covid.
