A once Insipid individual struck by misfortune dwelling in a peculiar state of deep thought and self reflection; no longer accompanied by shame, remaining perpetually encumbered not only from the mind, but from the heart.

Our Own Ways
Like old times, we conversed amongst Jackson palms; but this night was different, it was more like meeting you for the first time. When I looked into your eyes, someone else was looking back. You once illuminated my world, but on that night, you were just a dimming light. I was overwhelmed by your vibes, and I tried my hardest not to cry. Thinking to myself, "my God, she's gone;" now she puts it out there, and I'm just watching her come undone. No respect, no self to identify, she seeks attention from those I was once suspicious of. It's a trip to look in from out, to see how situations turn around. The city life could be fun, but it's there you end up farther from free. In the lands, I found the answers when I felt many suns, understanding in the shades of the wisest of trees. It hurts to see you stuck in third while I'm now in fourth density. Hopefully, soon you wake from this dream state, and reflect from within. And when you do I'll be waiting on the rocks, all the way up stream. Follow the dragonflies, to our mother's water, in this sacred place we will swim. It's not too late, you just went off the path of a journey we once embarked upon. I could only proceed for so long before the darkness of night had befallen upon me. My other love, my moon, along with her surrounding constellations, can only light my path for so long before disappearing under the canopy of the trees of wisdom. I, too, went off path and let my senses navigate. Peering up through breaks in the canopy, I can see my love looking for me. Pulling me like the ocean, she knows my element is water; until she couldn't any longer. God's choir chirps in the night, and with my primitive senses open and active, the crickets sang in harmony; they must be Angels. Night skies from black to blue tell me he is arriving and soon his purest light will illuminate my path and his warmth I will bask in. The Sun of the morning provides so much to all, so pay no mind to what you've learned. One day the drapes will fall, and fear not for we shall feel. Slight Confusion, for his love for us is beyond what we ever conceived as Real.

Preemptive Denunciation
Preemptive Denunciation It's one thing to be suspicious, we all are. If you're suspicious of another person for example: you're in a relationship and you suspect your spouse is having an emotional affair with someone and secretly talking to another person via text on their cellphone. Now let's say you maybe bring it up and your spouse assures you there's nothing to worry about and they've never given you a reason to be suspicious, yet you are still suspicious; with that being said, you should automatically come to the conclusion that there is no reason to go through your spouse's phone because there's no physical evidence to go off of. Now let's say you go against that reasoning and you do it anyway, you pick up your spouse's phone while they're taking a shower or sleeping. The action of picking up your spouse's phone in itself is doubt. You've doubted your spouse. Now let's say you find nothing, you may think, okay I'm no longer insecure, I won't do that again. What if you do find your spouse is having an emotional affair or flirting with someone via text or over some social media platform yet no proof of a physical affair? Does that mean you have the right to assume they are having a physical affair when they are away from you with this other person? Or that dismisses the action of going through your spouse's cell phone? You may think that just because your suspicion was correct, it is justified to assume a physical affair in the present is taking place, after all, they told you there was nothing to worry about, yet you've found a form of evidence that suggests the direct opposite. Yet still, what gives you the right to invade someone's privacy? Who is more in the wrong? Now let's say you catch your spouse in the act of having an affair in person, then you demand their phone, you go through it and find flirtatious content between your spouse and this other person. In which scenario is it more justified to go through your spouse's phone? Under the first scenario, acting on a suspicion and discovering flirtatious content, you confronted your spouse, and your spouse asks, "You went through my phone? Yes there's flirtatious content between myself and this other person, but did you look at the time and date of this conversation? This was way before you and I were in a relationship. I no longer talk to that person." To that response, you suddenly feel dumb, and you've damaged your relationship by doubting your significant other. Your spouse will always feel that no matter what, despite whatever reason you were led to believe he/she were up to something, you had doubt, which reflects how much you respect them. Now let's say you suspect a loved one of a narcotics addiction, you ask your loved one and they deny it, but you break into their room anyway and go through their things. You find paraphernalia but no drugs, no substance. It's common to assume they are using in the present, but just because you found paraphernalia, does not mean your loved one is in fact using in present time. Maybe they did at one point in time, but are no longer are using. It'd be one thing if your loved one admitted they are currently using, or you walked in on your loved one while engaging in the act of consuming narcotics. It's another thing to assume that just because paraphernalia is present amongst their possessions, that they are in fact using. Unless you discover a substance or catch them in the act, the assumption you've made based off paraphernalia is not concrete, regardless of however much likely it is that your loved one is currently using. Once again, you've doubted this person, not only invading his/her privacy, but now damaging your relationship and forever changing this person's perception of you. Considering the circumstances surrounding this person's life as a cause for a loved one's behavior is almost too simplistic and boring. Why is it in our nature to always assume the worst and become oblivious to rational or logical thinking and instead choose to emphasize on something so insignificant without concrete evidence? To stress the point of this writing, it is wise to think before you act or draw a conclusion. Not everything is what it seems.
