*** [we'll sit by the window...]

we'll sit by the window

we'll watch the storm coming

the darkest skies open

the strongest wind blowing

we'll see it take over

the world as we know it

we'll be left with nothing

but each other's hoping

for the days to come after

the days of redemption

to finally bring forth

our longed-for salvation

and yet we'll be crying

and yelling, denying

for no one has taught us

how to handle dying

i wish i could stop this

and hold you forever

but this very moment

is worth more than ever

we'll sit by the window

and watch the storm coming

once we had a future

soon we will be nothing

I think the most fundamental thing you can do to be a decent human being is to understand and respect the fact that not everyone feels and thinks in the same way that you do.

where does a body end? (1/?)

You are an art. The perception of you is an interpretation.

You are the artist. Embrace the pain, embrace the unknown.

For art is subjective but only the artist truly knows its actual meaning.

“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”

Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand Of Darkness
