I remember the existence of time

When the world sees fit to remind me.

Perhaps you’ve forgotten, But I haven’t

There’s only one way out — so don’t rush me.

I have all the time in the world; until I don’t

At which point

All the pressure in the world won’t matter.

The surest way to stop learning — growing

Is to believe the first solution we find to a problem

Is the only one.

Worldly knowledge will provide you peace

— That is, supplementary, at best.

Find refuge instead

In the guiding principles of the Divine.

Well hello there, internet stranger.

Feels a little familiar and also a little foreign to be writing here again.

I’ve thought long and hard about what this all means to me; whether I still enjoy it or not — and of course I do. That was never the problem.

The problem was how I was choosing to process my thoughts on the page. 

I am all for truth, but sometimes the core of what I have to say slips through the cracks because I say so much. This often leaves my audience caught in an avalanche of revelations. I will re-adjust this.

Perhaps offering truth in increments is a better solution for all involved. My mission is not to overwhelm but to connect. What I say will continue to come from the heart but above all, it will be filtered through the guiding hand of the Divine.

Other than that, I’ve been writing a few poems. I look forward to sharing them with you.

It’s going to be a good year.

I left, because …

Even when the paths in front of us diverged

Going towards numerous possibilities —

Unspoken destinations, that had nothing to do with either of us,

You somehow always found a way to pivot all roads, towards yourself.

Without fail …

Every.

Single.

Time.

People can be sad. People can be depressed.

But I swear, some people love turning it into a sport. What frustrates me is how it’s all catastrophized to elicit a specific reaction. Moreso, how attention is taken away from people that are genuinely suffering. All to focus on these “victims” that can simply do no wrong.

When I’m firm in holding my ground, consolidating my autonomy and someone is offended enough to make themselves a victim as a result. Wanna know what I do? I agree.

“Yes, you are a victim”, I say.

You should see how they react. They don’t like that.

I may have empathy, but not for pretenders. If you villainize me to make yourself feel better you are most certainly a victim. I won’t back-pedal and try to explain why you’re not.

I am the big bad guy and you’re just going to have to get cosy in my shadow.

Some might say I won’t win any allies by behaving this way. 

If the allies are anything like these “victims”. I say good riddance.
