“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
Yippee another joint poem with Autumn :D WE KNOW ITS LIKE EDGELORD WORTHY AND NOT GREAT BUT LIKE SEE THE VISION 😭
We are artists; we bleed our pain on paper
With our bones as tools, our sculptures we taper
Gouging at ourselves with each new gentle stroke we create, not resting until our darkest thoughts we’re able to articulate
We’re the vessel that brings to life our muse
That, we cannot choose
Art is as addicting as booze, disgusting, but a habit
And alike, our fate is definite
Forever doomed to be societies deficit
(Teehee felt silly)
listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.
reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.
A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.
It's a common thing for them to say,
"Oh well, back in my day..."
As they rattle on about their past,
Saying thinks in hopes you act a ghast.
And by itself this would be grand.
If they didn't say it after you show your hand.
After you tell them of your day, joys or pain
On your parade they have to rain.
"At least your life isnt like before,
You see, now that life was a chore.
Compared to us you get to have life in ease
And get to do whatever you please."
This lack of sympathy makes them seem jealous.
Jealous of their child's privileges I guess.
I don't get why they aren't proud
Of the life for their child that they've allowed.
concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end
