My relationship with God,
Is the same as with my father,
Push and pull.
I doubt of his love,
As I’m sure he doubts mine.
It’s complicated and convoluted.
A mixture of anger and love
For how can I hate my own reflection?
“We were made in God’s image.”
Perhaps that has always been the problem.
Tell me, how do I deal with all these emotions?
Waning from exuberance to morosity,
An enigma not wishing to be solved.
I was not made to be a God
Only a human
So tell me, how do I deal with the world falling apart,
Every time I open my eyes?
I dreamt of Godhood once
It was not all it was made up to be.

To an almost friend
Dear almost- friend, Years have passed, and I still remain the same in many ways. I’m still that young, wild, and idealistic teen. Obsessed with finding the beauty within the mundane and wanting my writing to have a beautifully poetic beginning and end. Life isn’t like that at all, though. There isn’t poetry in the hurt, surprise, or anger. But my crux has always been to dress up the things that happen to me. Weave words to make things seem far better than they were or, if I can’t dress it up, to make it poetically sad. It’s the heart of being creative and an aspiring writer who may not become one. Yet I still try, and so I write.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
