Affection can be measured

by the respect received, but

respect is measured only

by itself.

So sad today

Let's be honest with ourselves. The truth is I don't bloody know. But the world expects you to always have an answer so you make these narratives up that make the most sense. But then after a point it all doesn't align and it doesn't feel alright. You're confused and sad. You're empty and yet you feel such heaviness. You want and you want to unwant and that too is a want because wants are endless. Human behaviour digusts you but you also are human. Capitalism gets to you but you are so deep in it yourself. What are the boundaries? If I knew then I would maintain them. But the truth is I don't know. See the world in shades of Grey but are you just over complicating things and seeing what doesn't even exist? ALL THIS EXISTENTIALISM WONT DO YOU ANY GOOD. Go learn a life skill that can be exchanged for money that can be exchanged for good food and used to pay rent and buy clothes that allow you to fit in this society. Yes, you're poisoned by this world and no amount of unlearning is ever going to make you pure again. And that is why the peace you feel is so transitory. Withdraw yourself and go crazy. Immerse yourself and yet you will go crazy. All I know is oranges are making me feel okay right now as is water as is the idea of going to sleep. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe all I want to do is never wake up. Maybe all I want is to wake up and be seven again. Not because I didn't feel all of this then but only it would still be years before I would process any of it. Even seventeen would be fine. The confidence and angst and idealism I was full of then kept me going. Now all I have are fruits and waiting for the seasons to change and avoiding the rush hour traffic to and from work. Little joys and little victories in a world full of endless little miseries.

Man is a walking paradox. He is the only creature on earth who is both a fool and a genius simultaneously. He is capable of the noblest of deeds, but as soon as you look away, he will lie, cheat, and steal to get what he wants.

All men possess elements of good and evil. There is no such thing as a man who is either 100% good or 100% bad. A good man has surely done some bad things in his life, while even very bad men occasionally do nice things, which is why people express shock & dismay when their friendly next-door neighbor is exposed as a sadistic serial killer.

Everyone is selfish. Everyone is flawed. The difference between a "good" man and a "bad" man isn't the wide chasm that one would like to believe. The difference is more like a crack in the floor where one can just as easily step on one side or the other.

For example, say you found a bag of money on the street, and you were guaranteed that nobody would ever find out if you took it home. Everybody would seriously consider taking the money whether they want to admit it or not. You would too. Don't lie!

On this page, we will explore the brutality of life and the absurdity of the human condition. We will dissect man's achievements AND his faults in all their beautiful glory. But be warned…we will pull no punches.

This will not be like other pages that selectively edit the book of life and present it as we want it to be. Oh no! Here we will present life as it truly is. Blemishes and all.

As much as I liked the fast pace of that hardboiled world, in the slow moments I wondered about the point of it all.

Openly

In the game of tennis

it’s important to know

how the tennis player

chooses the ball for the

first service but, even

better, how he works

out which ball to put

in his pocket.

Vuelvo a restituir el asombro del dolor en mis pensamientos y termino acomodando mi existencia en letras

Pareciera creíble que estoy desvinculada de lo que duele

Mi corazón meticuloso por fin se adormece pero a veces no pienso en nada y de todos modos me descompongo

-CR

Excerpt from "Ivy and The Altar of Hunger"

"The dark water below me bellows a deep, ancient melody. I can feel it sometimes, when I notice myself slip from dimension to dimension. Who am I between these worlds? I am less interested in what I am to others and most interested in what I am to myself. How does every life I've lived compare to the one I'm living now?"

"It is necessary to fall in love, if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway."
