Child, don't look for approval by me

God knows I can't give it to you

I myself ask for some

And was not given any

So don't look at me with expectations

I am tired of those

And I am tired of saying "go away"

With a blank face

And I am tired

Of you being disappointed

In me or you

Perhaps both, but does it matter anymore?

Just something I wrote in a frenzy of inspo that I’ll ever be able to recreate

Water. A truly fundamental part of life, on Earth at least. For every living thing on Earth relies on water, at least indirectly. The same cannot be said for any other substance, which is to say that water is directly linked to life itself. So, supposing one rid the Earth of the elixir on which all life relies, what would life become but obsolete? Tis why he who commands the water, commands the world, and all life it contains, and will contain. But water itself does not wish to be contained. It does not wish to be controlled, or commanded. It is unruly, bowing to nothing and no one, as though aware of the power it yields. The power to feed all life on Earth or remove it. Yes, water is the building block that all life stems from. Remove that building block, and watch life as it is known fall around it, unable to support itself without its foundation. Even the gods tremble before the substance that feeds consciousness, for if there is no life to worship the gods, who’s to say there are gods at all? Who’s to say that water itself is not a god of sorts, with the power to give life and take it away on a whim, without a care to the lives its actions impact? You can worship it if you wish, but do not expect a response for you will be sorely disappointed. Rather, respect it. Appreciate the power it has and pray that it shan’t decide to rob you of everything you hold dear. For if it does, it cannot be held accountable. It does not feel sympathetic or sorrowful, for every action has purpose, and such purpose cannot be denied nor prevented. Water is far more powerful than any god, for it cannot be denied. Water makes itself known to all life, unafraid. Unafraid, because it knows that without it, there would be nothing, for there would be no one to prove otherwise.

they call us Gen Z because all we ever wanted to do was to Ctrl Z all of their mistakes

Something different

Literally, it’s kinda different

I had a dream last night

After it was done swallowing a kitten alive that was just about to hatch from an egg, the goose turned to me an said with a somber tone:

“I am the sad opportunist who sees life for what it truly is.“

I have been thinking about that phrase all day.

Some more sparks of writing

Sometimes, I think that the world would be a better place without me in it. But would there be a world without me in it? Does everything around me truly exist, or is it merely a fabrication of my subconscious? Is anything real outside of my perception, or is the whole world, nay, the whole universe, only real when I choose it to be? And if that were the case, could I pick and choose what is and what isn’t? Or is reality predetermined without the contribution of my conscious mind? Is there a higher power, deciding what to bring to reality, or deciding what reality itself is? Or is such a level of consciousness so unfathomable it cannot be imagined, let alone conceived? And if it were to be conceived, what possesses the power to conceive such a thing but one with an equal or greater level of consciousness, thereby making such a thing unattainable?

Is there such a thing as free will? Or is it a phrase that was made up to give people the idea they think and act for themselves, while everything they will ever do in their life was decided long ago by a power none can dream of, let alone possess. Do the stars watch us from afar, watch as we live out the lives they created for us, live out the story that they have told through us? And for what? To appease them? To satisfy them? No. There is more to life than what the stars tell us it is. Life can’t just be what these distant celestial bodies decide it to be. And yet it is. For we too are beautiful celestial bodies. We and the stars are one in the same. We are the same. The stars watch over us and smile upon us, proud of their creations. Life is obeying the stars, whether you want to or not. But it is not because the stars want to be entertained. The stars see how beautiful life is and bestow it upon us, they breathe consciousness into us and present us a vessel with which to experience the beauty of life, the beauty of the stars themselves. The stars are kind, for without their power, we would never have experienced the beauty of existence and consciousness. We would not have experienced the wind blowing through the trees, flakes of snow falling upon the otherwise barren ground, the warmth and comfort of a fire, light drops of rain falling gently upon a tin roof. Simply, we would not have experienced. The stars are selfless, they did not want to experience the beauty of the universe alone, bestowing the gift of life upon a single planet out of billions in the intense vastness of space. Earth, as it would come to be known, was given life, and the beings that inhabit it believe themselves to be alone in the universe, knowing not that they are joined by those who brought them to life.
