Did you know,
you can make an excuse out of sidewalk cracks?
I never stopped walking.
I wanted to treat the whole world like a delicacy,
like the houses with people inside would come out
and bury my story with theirs.
I thought progress was only meant to move forward.
I followed the same sidewalk for a whole year
until I quit watching for the cracks and uneven ground.
If you keep walking you can outrun your problems.
If you stop making eye contact,
eventually everyone will stop talking to you.

I'm learning to be wildly inappropriate, ridiculous, needy - and alive.
Thank you so much for all the support!

THE REASON WE CAN NEVER BUILD A PERFECT CLOCK
The asymmetry of time, a fundamental enigma in physics, prompts exploration into the essence of temporal progression. This pursuit unveils the intriguing reality that constructing an immaculate clock is inherently unattainable. Whether scrutinizing subatomic realms or contemplating the vast expanse of the observable universe, mathematical frameworks underpin scientific understanding. Yet, the inclusion of time within these equations poses a perplexity, as foundational laws of physics exhibit temporal symmetry. Consequently, these laws seamlessly extrapolate both past and future states of systems with equivalent precision, blurring the distinction between temporal orientations.
