All the time… serious writing block

Shit. That’s what I need to do.

Haiku

Stay in the sadness until you are comfortable to put it away

Treat your mind as if it were your garden. Be careful with who you make memories with so that you can plant seeds rather than pollute what is good. Indeed, memories are forever and not the people so make sure you keep out the locust to keep your garden a pretty place to return to.

How sad it is that we are told to listen to our bodies

The importance of doing what our bodies need

yet we live in a world where we can do anything but that.

Today I feel like staying home and watching cartoons and walking in the park and reading

today I roll over into my fourth day shoes a tear shooting down my side while I ready myself for the office.

They say listen to your bodies needs , but once you have started it’s so hard to stop.

It’s crazy to think of the atrocities that happen

under such a starry sky.

I can’t help but feel the same way every time before I go away overseas.

I feel like I’m a child, ungaurded and like someone is going to push me into the ocean without the knowledge of how to swim.

But I’m the one pushing her.

It’s a surreal feeling.

I’m writing this sitting inside a sushi train restaurant on my own in Sydney just trying to process the adventure that is about to unfold.

I bawled like a baby when I arrived in Ashfield. I can’t help but think this stuff is easier when you have a partner or friend with you. Every one of my travels has been solo. And that’s okay. It’s just allowing myself to feel this one out too…

Im incredibly lucky to be going on this opportunity.

Craving for this morning in Japan that I can imagine clearly but never had

An interesting perspective to consider

[chumpmagump]

Here I am again

Underneath the stars the beach by my side

I feel so free and relaxed and one with the earth

I am so happy to be with nature again

After spending a drunken afternoon in the ocean with my beautiful friends

Nakedness running free

He’s too fast along the shore

Shes in a race to whose boobs can fall out the quickest with the fishes

There is laughter and noise but in all the right ways

And I am by the ocean again

I will miss you

I've been on this website for well over a decade now, and I have to admit it fundamentally changed me as a person (for the better, surprisingly enough). But there are two posts in here that completely changed my outlook of (adult) life, and that i carry with me almost every day

- "(straight) men see every interaction (with the opposite sex) as an invitation/opportunity to flirt" (badly paraphrased but you get the gist), which, even though it's about straight guys hitting on girls at their work or some such, makes me reavalute all my interactions with other gay guys, and it's quite sobering

- "everyone is one accident away from being physically disabled". Now every single time I go ANYWHERE, the first thing I think is: how accessible is this building? Do I have to walk too much to get where I need to go? Do I have to use stairs? How big/available is the elevator? It's almost unconscious at this point. My brain immediately registers whether or not I could get around where I need to go if I had to use a wheelchair or a cane, and the answer is very often no.
