Tristes Tropiques
I'll be honest, I wasn't devastated
But you could've held my hands through this, baby
Let my mind run underneath warm jets
I run my hands through what's left
But we're getting older, baby
Don't have much longer, baby
Why am I preaching To this choir, to this atheist?
Just like mine, versions of these belong to you
After a while, they're keeping me close to you
Just like me, they long to be close to you
“Write the tale that scares you, that makes you feel uncertain, that isn't comfortable. I dare you. In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others to help us better determine how we feel about ourselves, and to in turn feel the need to be constantly visible, for visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success—do not be afraid to disappear. From it. From us. For a while. And see what comes to you in the silence.”
When you give to others to the degree that you sacrifice yourself, you make the other person a thief.

The Work
Ahh, the work. The work has been one of the most difficult things to process the last year. I started my journey on November 11th, 2019. It was supposed to be one of the best times of my life, I had finally finished graduate school, I had moved back home, and in with my girlfriend at the time, I had just passed the licensing exam, accepted a job offer, and was well on my way to my first big boy salary with benefits. All these positives things were happening and I was the unhappiest I'd ever been in my life, right up there with my first two years of college and when I lived with my mom growing up. My brain just wasn't functioning, I could only perform academic work but everything else felt like a blur. Many times today I still get that feeling. The feeling of moving but also being "stuck. While doing the work I've realized just how negatively my relationship with my mother as a child has hurt me. In many ways, I am a worse person because of it. I know she attributes my "success" to how she raised me but I didn't become good at anything until I moved out of her house. As I get older and see more of her in myself, I began to hate myself for it. One day she'll know all of that but not today. My relationships with others have greatly suffered because of it. My relationship with myself has suffered a major burden because of it. That is not to excuse my or other's behavior towards me in my life but it is to illuminate the truth about the origins of my lack of self-confidence, self-esteem, and inability to trust that others love me. As the curtain to my old physical self begins to fade in my eyes, what's left is the little boy who wanted to hurt himself at 8 years old. I realize I must reparent myself, now at 28 years old. 20 years later and I can still see the scars.

Deserve. what exactly do I deserve? what does that even mean? That's what I've been thinking alot about. When I was a young man, I thought I deserved things. I thought I deserved to go out with my friends, that pair of sneakers, to make the basketball team, a chance to court that girl I really liked. I had no problem drawing a line in the sand and saying this is what I DESERVE. It always went with work, I worked for all those things but even then, was I just entitled? It was so easy for me then to gauge what I should covet in this world. Now I'm not sure I deserve anything. Even when my friends tell me that this is a time where I really got it going on. That I should be proud of what I've accomplished. When I constantly see people on social media signal what they "deserve". Sometimes I wonder do they mean it or is it just a projection? It's a common theme in every ascept of my life but the more I know the less I feel like I know. The more I learn, the less I tweet. The more context and nuance of life I engage with, the more uncomfortable I feel seeing things devoid of it. I say all that to say.. what do I deserve? Do I deserve to be happy? Do I deserve to be treated well? Do I deserve that promotion? Do I deserve the accolades? Do I deserve to ask for exactly what I want?
It's easy to feel like you don't matter ... When you are (You are) what you make And nothing more Do you even know what you're working toward Slow Down You're burning out At the end of your wick now 9-5 you're running holes Through your sneakers through your soul Should be busy living life But you just haven't got the time Gum and pennies on the street Close my eyes to see my peace Oh when it gets to be too much I find myself in what I love When I'm by the sea Sweatshirts sweatpants White noise blue jeans Writing letters to old friends Black cats and tender moments Cherries in the spring Long walks Long nights Green tea ice cream It's all So good, so good, so good To me So good, so good, so good to me It's easy, to fall in, to dull patterns When your mind is all clouds of grey Oh (Lately all my thoughts) are marked with questions Like how can I How do I manage expectations While I While I manifest my greatness Can you tell me Just how long will I be waiting Even trees and flowers know Weather seasons for you grow You should be living out your dreams instead you're tearing at the seams Lights and sirens in the dark Plug my ears To hear my heart And when it gets to be too much, I find myself in what I love When I'm by the sea Sweatshirts sweatpants White noise blue jeans Writing letters to old friends Black cats and tender moments Cherries in the spring Long walks, Long nights Green tea ice cream It's all so good to me
I know your eyes in the morning sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love How deep is your love, How deep is your love I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me I believe in you You know the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest darkest hour You're my saviour when I fall And you may not think I care for you When you know down inside That I really do And it's me you need to show How deep is your love How deep is your love, How deep is your love I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love How deep is your love, How deep is your love I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me
The conclusion must add up with the facts
Girl it's only you Have it your way And if you want you can decide And if you'll have me I can provide everything that you desire Said if you get a feeling Feeling that I am feeling Won't you come closer to me baby, You've already got me right where you want me baby I just want to be your man How does it feel How does it feel Said I want to know how does it feel How does it feel How does it feel I want to stop Silly little games you and me play And I am feeling right on If you feel the same-way baby Let me know right away I'd love to make you wet In between your thighs cause I love when it comes inside you I get so excited when I'm around you How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel Said I wanna know how does it feel How does it feel How does it feel Baby, close the door Listen girl, I have something I wanna show you I wish you'd open up 'cause I wanna take the walls down with you
