It's Only Money.
I wasn’t shy. Let’s clear that up first. I could talk. I could joke. I could walk into a room and make it sound alive. But loneliness doesn’t ask permission.

A study claims that 500 years before science, Dante's Inferno mapped a planetary impact.
The geometry of Hell as portrayed in Dante Alighieri's Inferno closely resembles the physical structure created by a massive planetary impact event, according to a new study presented at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna in April 2026.

I flex and struggle Strain and smile Unable to maintain A serene demeanor Performing for an Empty popcorn bag Half buried on the beach

Before The Streetlights Came On
let's not adult, today let's hit the snooze snuggle down a little longer let old movies flicker across the room let the treadmill wait another day grab Rocky Road and coffee for breakfast draw chalk hopscotch across the pavement outside set out lemonade and cookies for anyone passing by skip along to the song only you hear laugh louder without care send anonymous happy notes just because drift on the park swings watching the day roll by take off your shoes sand squishing between your toes smile drink water from the fountain spin slow on the merry-go-round put a quarter in the machine wait for the small surprise speak with interest and wonder make a new friend today race home before the streetlights come on even though only you see them plop down on the back porch tired but happy sit in the tub awhile allow memories of innocence to wash over you again because growing older doesn't mean wonder should leave first

Sunset and Hearts The sunset burned across the sea Casting shadows over me Orange fire and crimson light Falling softly into night
