The Dance of Time
Everything begins with mornings... except for that night, which defied all routines. It felt as if the night itself refused to wait for dawn, unraveling mysteries and questions that couldn't rest. Morning arrived much earlier, with birds restlessly conversing in the dark. Their voices, like scattered notes, resonated with the storm in my mind—doubts and unresolved thoughts swirling relentlessly. Yet, as I listened, those tones became soothing, each like a piano note offering a fragment of clarity. Some notes were confused, others searching, striving to create harmony from life's chaotic entries.

Post-travel you and the emptiness that follows
I put my backpack on the floor. The birds are starting to chime in a new day, but I’m going to bed. I’m jet lagged, tired but wide awake. My hands feels bigger when I press the door handle and walks into my bedroom. It’s all so familiar. It should be. It’s been my home all my life.

The Dam Breaks
Here is an article with subjects of outrage, self-disclosure and the meaning of close to home articulation, as motivated by the text: The Break in the Dam: Exploring the Rapids of Outrage There's tension snapping all around, one that I haven't felt for quite a while. It isn't the slow structure disdain of bygone eras yet something else entirely a crude, untamed energy fuming underneath the surface. I've been paying attention to music that shouts, seethes against the perishing of the light, music that repeats the savage I epitomize inside my Prisons and Winged serpents crusades: a person characterized by unrestrained rage.

Still here. Content Warning.
I wrote when I first got sick nearly 5 years ago, “What if that one week that turned into seven months turns into me?” Honestly, I think I wrote it like a dare. Casting my worst fear out into the world detach it from me. To write it down, to share it, was perhaps to conquer it.

Dear God, Let Me Be Angry. Top Story - January 2025.
I used to wake up every day and thank my antidepressants for keeping me from getting angry. "The antidepressants keep you at a baseline," the first boy I fell in love with once told me. "They are mostly there to keep you from having high highs and low lows. They will keep you stable."

Car Number 121. Content Warning.
Imagine a nice, mild wintery day on a country road. There's some snow on the wide, open fields, but not too much. It's cool as opposed to cold, so a nice, warm jacket will do. There are no leaves on any trees; no shrubs or tall grass. And it's sunny because there are very few clouds in the sky.

Fragile Narcissists Are More Dangerous Than The Grandiose.
"A narcissist's criticism is their autobiography" - M. Wakefield. Grandiose or Vulnerable? You can easily identify a grandiose narcissist (GN) after a while, but a fragile/vulnerable narcissist (VN) goes the extra mile to disguise the false-self because their self-worth is so diminished that even the slightest risk of exposure sets them on a tailspin.

10 Rules for the Ethical Use of Power. AI-Generated.
Power is a double-edged sword. It can be used to uplift, to inspire, to create a better world. But it can also be wielded for selfish gain, to oppress, to tear communities apart. True leadership lies not in the accumulation of power, but in its ethical and responsible use.
