The Sciences Sing a Lullabye
Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
you’re tired. Every atom in you
has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
nonstop from mitosis to now.
Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance
inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.
Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
by inch America is giving itself
to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
lap at your sides. Give darkness...

randomly thinking about the future
I’ve been crossing things off my bucket list when it hit me that when I think about the rest of it I don’t really picture who I’m with, just what I’m doing. I hope when I get to make my dreams come true someday there would be someone with me because I think it’s awfully sad if I’d be there alone. I’ve never really had a problem with going solo, but it...

heartworm
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. a relationship or friendship that you can’t get out of your head, which you thought had faded long ago but is still somehow alive and unfinished, like an abandoned campsite whose smoldering embers still have the power to start a forest fire.

Pablo Neruda - If You Forget Me
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if...

This is a blurry Ben Gibbard
Somehow appropriate for the mishmash of feelings I have right now. I just saw them play live. I mean, really. Wow

ill with want
Wishlist:
1. A brand-spanking-new Macbook
2. To see Tomy Mejias/ Sergio Canales in person (hi, if ever you see this, I have a huge crush on you. This is quite embarrassing. But ok whatever it’s highly unlikely)
3. More time to do things
4. Strength for my family and friends (this reads like a prayer) so that for every single screwy thing that happens they will always know that they will...

on growing up and getting tough
When I was a kid I always thought that things would be easier to handle when I got older. I thought that with each successive birthday some kind of irrationally-obtained wisdom will find its way to you so you can properly be called an adult.
I’m nineteen now. I don’t think things have gotten easier to handle at all — if anything, it’s tougher. With every single important...

are we human or are we dancer?
Please note that at five years old I was already failing at dancing. I was raising the wrong hand up and obviously not in my proper place. Some things really don’t change!

I am genuinely curious
Prompted by a couple of incidents I’ve been in/saw:
How do you know if someone’s just being nice to you or if they’re being nice to you because they want something in return?
How do you know if someone’s flirting with you?
The past couple of weeks I’ve been out and about town, literally, doing random errands and sort of rediscovering this city that I live in. I...
