Wandering awaits me
on a desert road
a leash is holding on to me
bridling my faith
I crawl through spears of fire
the sand of the desert boils
under the counted steps
even the day is blind
my thoughts darken
suddenly from the depths of the collapse
erupts the imagination
and the sea of sand
it is now a sea of water
the caravan of dead camels
it's now a ship that feeds on the waves of the sea
I walk on the shore
I destroy the anchor
and I leave the ship in the arms of the sea
as you would let go of a trapped wild animal
I can see the beggar with a dog by his side
a hand reaching between us
holding a few coins
showing that the road is not deserted
I left the coin in his hand
and a leash for his dog

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
Don’t let fear of the unknown hold you back from love. The chance to meet someone who truly sets your soul alight is a precious gift. Not everyone gets to experience that kind of connection, so when it finds you, cherish it. Some believe that the connections we forge in past lives influence our present. Perhaps those unfulfilled bonds lead us to new love in this life, offering a chance to rewrite a story that ended too soon.

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.
