The Muse
Make an impact, no matter how subtle.
Art is the language of the soul
liars speak truth
the blind can see
war brings peace
hobos are rich
money is worthless
the sun is cold
frost is warm
paper is priceless
concrete is soft
pillows are hard
living is dying
creating is destroying
out of a pile of shit grows a rose bush.
The universe doesn't owe us a thing, doesn't have to make sense
we only owe it to ourselves to find our art and make it until it is made and we are understood.

A Tale of Bittersweet Love
Few events are as moving and eerie in the world of human feeling as the reverberation of an unfulfilled love. That is the core of the melancholy love story—hearts colliding in a rush of desire only to fall apart at the hands of fate's harsh hand. Here, among the broken dreams and unmet promises, is a story that endures the test of time: one of love that is found, treasured, and lost.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
