Rhythm
Who’s dancing and why are they tapping those toes?
I’m dancing to the beat of my own heart, so they say.
They think, therefore I am – not I think, therefore I am. So how could I possibly be dancing to my own beat?
Unfortunately, that’s not the world I see. A world that transcends human thought – preconceived notions, judgment, superficial ideas, and ugliness.
The ugliness cast upon an unsuspecting bystander: someone just living in a world that doesn’t make sense.
Yeah, that’s me.
I keep trying to dance to my own beat despite the strings that are attached to my heart. I keep tapping these ill-fitting, worn out, ugly shoes, so that one day I’ll tap so hard, dance so free, that the strings will crumble away.
I keep on dancing because my heart is the only sure thing.
Never stop dancing.
Never stop tapping those taboo shoes.
One day, the rhythm will set you free.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
