The Snap
“The world is allowed to be crazy. I think I have always known that. I’ve known that the universe doesn’t always make sense, but that’s okay. For me things always made sense in her smile. The chaos pouring down on me supplied by the surrounding universe was irrelevant, I was grounded in her eyes. People like to compliment people by saying things like “they were a ball of sunshine” or “their smile could light up a room”. But to me she was none of those things. To me, if I had to describe her I would say she was like a job interview. An interview that by the end had you walking away with an offer. You were nervous just thinking about her. You were on edge waiting for her presence and when you were finally in it you tried with everything you had to come off as the best version of yourself. But that is exactly what she made you, the best version of yourself. Just like in that interview you always wanted to make your best impression and your wardrobe got it’s chance to shine. As if she required a resume just to hang out with her she made you see every major accomplishment in your life and display it like a badge of honor. She made you see your best self. Each moment felt like fate. Like everything in your past was your work history. Preparing you and getting you ready for this moment, but you knew that what was just beyond this moment was something so much better than you had ever experienced. She was my dream job , experiencing her presence was like an interview, and every time she agreed to see me again was like receiving the job offer. She felt like turning your life around… I know most people in this world look up to those saving lives, but I didn’t. I looked up to her. And I can think of nothing more heroic in this universe than the way she carried herself… Than the way she carried me. I miss her everyday. I loved her… I still love her. I hope whoever has this can find her… In somebody else. In yourself. It doesn’t matter, just please find her. This world is crazy, and it is allowed to be that. But without her, crazy or not, this world is not worth it.”

Our Blind Eye
Murder is a terrible thing. Even more so than we pretend we know. We see these stories, hear about these atrocities happening and we barely even break from our routine. It’s our blind eye. We as a society, we like to believe in Karma. Believe that when people do something bad, I mean like really bad, that their life will crash into tragedy just around the corner. We like to believe that their just desserts are always waiting for them just down the road. Maybe society is right. Maybe revenge is right there, just down the road. But some of these assholes like to fly. Some of these demons are up in the sky, avoiding these roads all together. Yet here we are, blindly staring up at the sky seeing nothing but clouds. We like to believe in karma, I’m sure some people thank us for that.
