Between Places

I opened myself this week,

a week of different voices,

different stories,

different places.

Unsure of what I would find,

I gave myself to vulnerability,

letting myself feel

anything other than the darkness

that follows me.

I found myself in places I had never lived,

learning cultures I had only seen from a distance.

I was given stories

close to their hearts—

our little secrets.

I saw joy,

I saw pain,

and I gave a piece of myself to that.

The people I find myself closest to

are far away,

and I wonder

why I call this place home.

october's ending

is both a howl, and a sigh

a bitter truth

a sweet, sweet lie

for the shadow of death

follows us, yes

but the haunts this night

dispel—and bless

'tis the secret

behind those candle-lit grins

where the veil between

death, and life

grows thin

Well Done:

I led an ACA meeting with only three attendees and that was emotional anyway. I haven’t blamed myself for scarcity.

It felt like walking at the lunch break so I made it round the neighbourhood.

To better:

Another day I catch myself putting my brain on the carrousel and ride it nonstop. Withstanding boredom became torturous. What thoughts am I afraid of finding on my mind? I shall write those down and peel off the layers.

I’m a bit out of place, somewhere between my mind and reality. My concentration suffers, I only want to entertain myself. I shall meditate and make peace between mind and body.

Delights:

Chicken with rice and soy souse.

A podcast about surviving the German bureaucracy to acquire a flat.

A podcast about drawbacks (features) of Russian art and why it’s okay to not love it.
