Only Fated to Pretend

A blog about politics, poetry, perspective, whiny existentialism and photos that I think are neat. Message me or whatever.

Another spray of drunken words in vain

And you still forget yourself, us.

Red flags are nothing in comparison to the self-destruction you propose on yourself.

I no longer wish to watch it, but somehow I cannot look away from the wreck in front of my eyes.

Love is a funny thing in that it ties us to the most toxic portions of ourselves.

It has come a time that I must decide whether I wish to live with this poison or depart from it and move onward.

But somehow letting go of the past still feels like letting go of everything.

And that is not a decision that I can make at the moment.

But it will be one that will resurface, and I anticipate that move when I finally step away.

Free at last?

No.

Freedom is only an ideal pushed by the elite to give us hope to fervently consume.

Never free. Only open, honest, and ever more connected to the person, the people, that I wish to become.

I never go on here and have come on here after months and months and was peeping through the people I follow, I spent a good few hours reading through your posts and you write so so so beautifully

Thank you for this. I haven't been on here in months as well. Because of your kind message and some recent events within my life, I've decided to devote more time to writing again. After going through my writings, I've been reminded of how much I used to love writing. So, I sincerely appreciate the compliment, this means a lot to me.

Tucked away in the country of Poland is one of the most bizarre forests we’ve ever seen. Known as the “Crooked Forest,” an entire grove of trees features these puzzling, 90-degree bends at their base. 

It’s unclear who or what caused the phenomenon, and photographer Kilian Schönberger’s gorgeous photos of the forest only add to the mystery.

The Technology of Backyard Micro-Farming

You read about it or hear it on the news about pesticide use and genetically modified crops. But when you consider all the health issues that are linked to pesticides and GMOs (genetically-modified organisms) and GEs (genetically-engineered crops), it makes you wonder why more people don’t know how relatively easy it is to have sustainable gardens in backyards, apartment balconies and community gardens using a bit of simple technology or a lot.

(continuation from Part 2)

No longer the lover of anyone, Aquarian stands alone more confident than ever with no more feelings to atone.

The affairs of new lands are over. Yet this stranger still rejects the old, but welcomes newfound memories, maybe a story yet to be told.

Who knew a distance so great would bring the old lover back to invest in something more than himself, or anyone else who may lack.

But what happened to the twins Gemini? Who cares, life must move on. No reason in strife over people who have only done us wrong.

The lover learned there is more to living than falling into others. It is far better to be a One and free instead of shadowed and deftly smothered.

Friendship and family ties, although they pose exhaustion, are worth their imperfections and worth their love with caution.

There is not enough time or sand to dwell in ruined pairs. It is far better to be free and loved instead of loving where love isn’t there.

There is no resentment with the past, only new paths in the horizon for the old lover to walk beside a good life which love lies in.

So throw out the knots and anger. Rid of the misguided past to fully enjoy eachother at present, and bring new connections that last.

What if this life repeats itself constantly, but with each time over, we have a slightly increasing feeling of having already done what we are currently doing at the moment. What if the apathy we try so hard to remove is just caused by the subconscious recognition of our past and the unknown nostalgia that becomes what is known as "that hole we try to fill"? Perhaps, it is just a life repeated way too many times to create the perfect emotional responses over and over.

It is so damn fascinating how a song on the radio, a whiff of perfume or cologne, a phrase uttered out of context, or a simple feeling of distrust, maybe even loneliness can bring forward so many memories.

*a poem created while extremely not completely sober.

the past few years ago and I will be fine. but it would be the same as the most of my life.

My parents are out tonight and I will be fine. the only one that has a lot of people who are not

the intended recipient of life go to the record straight to your site.

but it is not that I know. but just in case, I have no clue.

Either way. I am glad to have the same. Although if we can help

with any of the day, then we can go on to a new one.

Issues - Bernie Sanders

Hey, if you are 18 or OLDER please read! As an adult American citizen, you and I are given the right to vote for our government representatives, a right that many people in other countries across the world do not have.....

Hey, if you are 18 or OLDER please read! As an adult American citizen, you and I are given the right to vote for our government representatives, a right that many people in other countries across the world do not have. Please register to vote before the upcoming 2016 Presidential Primaries and for the 2016 Presidential elections. If you are considering Bernie Sanders as a possible candidate to vote for these upcoming elections, or have no clue who to vote for (whether you’re between a turd sandwich Republican or a giant douche Democrat) then consider Senator Bernie Sanders. 

Attached is the link to his policies and how they are going to help solve serious problems within our nation. He discusses ways in which to address these current issues instead of appealing to establishment politics and corporate political bribery. Please vote this year, you have been given a right that many do not have and are currently fighting for. Sure, one vote may not make much of a difference. However, when millions of people do not vote, then this becomes an issue in itself. Do not vote based on appearance or other vain external qualities. Do not vote based on bias information given through small sound bites or gifs online. Do not vote based on one’s ability to speak their mind (Having no verbal filter certainly does not mean one is qualified to handle to intricate, intelligent and cautious behavior needed for proper diplomacy and keeping peace). 

Do your part as an American citizen. Watch the political debates (from both sides), do the research and get informed from dependable sources, and doubt everything that is told to you until proven otherwise. Act intelligently and vote intelligently.

Vote for those who are best fit to hold the position as President of the United States. Vote for those who remains true to their ethics and political stances. Vote for someone who can truly bring change that can affect millions of American and foreign lives. Vote for Bernie Sanders! Thank you, and have a nice holiday.
