On the dark side of bravery

The main advantage of not trading too much comfort for thrill is one often ends up accidentally following some kind of a moral compass.

That's a hell of a coping mechanism for my shortcomings: an imaginary factory that turns laziness into virtue.

Perhaps there are elegant ways of being a coward if one's goal is to at the very least deserve. In the eyes of a non-cynic, it might even look like well-calibrated self-awareness.

On consolation prizes

Either in action or inaction, folk become

Losing their selves in the grind that is existence

Often failing to craft someone worth becoming

Hoping to fade away—

into fulfillment.

On existence

Just a follow-up to the previous post.

The physical world exists. Every subsequent concept and abstraction is nothing but a coping mechanism.

Apes devolved into needing to imagine stuff to deal with existence, what a plot twist. No wonder there are no aliens flying about.

The abyss really is one backstaring son of a bitch huh

What do you mean you thought Interstellar was 'meh'????

All concepts are inherently imaginary. Without an observer there is no beautiful, there is no ugly, no interesting or boring, no good or bad.

Whatever concept we believe we see attached to something, is just our own projection being thrown back at us.

Reality is nothing but a mirror.

On my toes

My eyes point outward

Don't care what happens inward

I happen to things

Fix You by Jacob Collier is like an emotional surgeon pulling a heist on God's tambourine stash.

On August

I went home Northward

The summer sun behind me

My back, momiji

Chop me down and count my rings

The bliss I've felt, the times I've cried,

Mistakes I've made, learned and retried

The friends I've met, the girls I've liked,

Misjudgements, good calls, and goodbyes

We're multitudes, oceans of time

the past is inside, not behind

Where lie my failures at my core

You see but shipwrecks to explore

The kid that cried, the boy that wished,

the teen who cared, the man who dreamed

live all today in my heart free

They feel your love when you love me
