If you are going to reject me... please do!
"trigger warning" - this post will be far less sophisticated than what I usually aim for on this platform, yet I hope that some of you will be able to relate to my frustration. This is probably more suited to the format of an angry Tweet. Alas, ever since Larry the Bird tweaked its last, I refuse to approach its unsuccessful taxidermy. So Vocal will have to be my punching bag instead.

Is it in the cards?
I never had any interest in the metaphysical. Every question worth asking either had a reasonable answer, or will eventually find its way to one. Every person claiming the opposite is either a charlatan preying on the gullible or a fool seeking comfort in lies.

Dancing at the edge of oblivion
The lightbulb hanging by a single cable over my desk flickers, and dies, as if telling me to leave. That my job here is done, last precautions taken and all traces burnt. Love letters, photographs, any mentions of our identities had to be destroyed, oblivion as reward for success. Everything else is in God’s hands. Even if I can’t remember the last time my feet crossed the threshold of a church, if there ever was a time to pray, it was tonight. If not for success, but that we are doing what’s right. Through the wooden door, gentle plucking of stings drew me out of my room, a familiar melody disturbing the solemn peace of my night.

Let me keep my rose-coloured glasses!
Any time something positive happens in the life of a young person reckless enough to share it, it is immediately overshadowed by someone’s reminder that it is undoubtedly temporary. Did you have a good time with your friends? Well, congratulations, just know that all friendships are transactional in nature and good people never stick around for long anyway.
