There’s no need for touch, no romantic gaze,
But still, your presence brightens my days.
A bond so deep, no need to pretend,
You’re more than a friend—my soul's true blend.
We talk through the night, about books and more,
Your love for football, the stories you pour.
I share my rants, you listen with care,
Two lives so different, yet both are bare.
No hidden feelings, no tension to fight,
Just comfort in knowing that we’re both right.
In jokes and silence, we both can see,
This platonic bond is wild and free.
We don’t need labels, we don’t need fuss,
Just trust and peace, between the two of us.
It’s love, but pure—no strings to bind,
A gentle connection, heart and mind.

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.

Seasons Of Life
In two days, I’ll be six years sober from meth. Six years. That number still doesn’t sit right in my mouth. It feels too big for someone like me. Too clean. Too far away from the person I was when I was deep in it. Sometimes I still catch myself waiting for someone to tell me it doesn’t count. That I didn’t do it the “right” way. That my recovery is somehow less valid because it didn’t follow a script.

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.
