The best feeling is when
you can’t wait to go to sleep
because you’re dreaming about your tomorrow
When you hear a familiar voice
round the corner
you fill with anticipation
As your eyes meet the sound
You know when for just a moment
The brief and accidental touch of another
Fills your whole body with electricity
Whenever you know it’s time to go
But you linger just long enough
For yawns of the night
To become echos in your mind
The best feeling is when
Your life is a beautiful mystery
left unsolved
And fulfilled by enjoyment

Bennie and Me
Today was the day. Everything up to this point had been just planning, packing, daydreaming, and more packing. Now finally, the day has arrived. We loaded up cars and a large moving truck. We push and stuff my belongings making sure everything was neatly puzzled in. I give one last oversight to make sure all was secure. Inside held a whole lifetime of memories, mementos, knick-knacks, and necessities, It needed to be perfect.

The Silent Demise
*This article is inspired by Nathaniel Brandon’s Lecture on Objectivism Every debate, every dissension, every conflict will ultimately resolve itself into fundamental questions of ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics. When these deep-rooted issues arise, most people find themselves bewildered and frustrated, often deciding that thinking about them or discussing them is pointless. They conclude that philosophy is useless, abandoning any attempt to seek understanding. But what happens when we give up on philosophy? What are the consequences of living without a rational, philosophical framework?
