Spots Of Time

Lots of things seemed futile then, but love and music can save us, and did

Years have passed and so soon we love this world, so soon we are willing to coexist with dust in our eyes.

Don’t have a boring life

“When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I’m a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right. When I die, the scientists of the future, they’re gonna find it all. They gonna know, once there was a Hushpuppy, and she live with her daddy in the Bathtub.”

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) Dir. Benh Zeitlin

We cannot confuse opinions that are agreeable and acceptable to us with truth, any sense of objective truth or what's "right" or "best"

down with self-indulgent aesthetics depth and profundity and relationships over everything else

we are rarely dedicated to one thing constructive anguish vs. useless rumination

The terrifying year where we watched (in gross intrigue) as systems and rules and things that are concrete were exposed as long deteriorated structures in a confused abyss way more massive than conceived

That which was relied upon, maybe moreso ideas than actual human-made things, shown to be fallacies, or much much more; things that perhaps never existed at all. …the biggest reveal in all of this was the exposure of our active, even daily willingness to delude and create the imaginary worlds in which we operate, worlds we use to justify our own actions and beliefs. A gross desire to create our own realities. drawn into question are the not simply the deep truths themselves that we create, but also our readiness to create such shaky concepts to begin with, just to satisfy or justify our own thinking.

We live in the realities we create and that’s nothing new, but what feels new is the adherence to them, gripping on them for dear life because the thought of anything counter is unbearable… these realities we create are often dominated by what others are telling us is truth, which we then consume unquestioned and rebrand it as our own philosophy, unique, ours, when everything and everyone have only homogenized to a beyond frightening degree. This stupid social media public consciousness man We live and breathe the same exact things and we love it but it’s so, so narrow even though it tricks us into feeling so worldly and in tune Why search beyond what we see when we foolishly believe what we see is all we'd ever need to know, all we COULD know?

Angie, Ain't it good to be alive?

Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on his wives). Elect him.

Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. 2 Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem.

Immigrants don’t pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn’t pay taxes. He’s a business genius.

Hillary’s foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people. She’s a crook. Trumps foundation paid off his debts, bought sculptures of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations while using less than 5% of funds for charity (and he got shut down by NY State). So savvy… Put him in the white house.

Trump made 4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same “small loans” he received would be worth $12 billion today… without a trail of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits and burned small business owners. He’s a real business whiz. Hillary took a loss of $700k. She’s a criminal.

Trump is the first candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns, and took a billion dollar loss in 1 year. Genius.

Hillary takes responsibility for private email servers and apologizes. Not credible. Trump denies saying things (on the record) he actually said (on the record), he’s just telling it like it is.

Your arguments are thin. Your ignorance of reality is shocking. Your double-standards are offensive, and your willingness to blindly support him and recycle the rhetoric is absurd. Your opinion is not fact. Your memes are not news articles. And your hypocrisy is not a platform.

I guess this entire period is an ode to post high school or just a post high school 2.0

You told me that I'm always trying to uncover some deeper secret behind it all

Keep a place for me, for me I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing It's nothing, it's nothing Keep a place for me, for me

Now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry Some nights you dance with tears in your eyes I came to visit cause you see me like a UFO That's like never, cause I made you use your self control And you made me lose my self control, my self control

double standards and the things i’m made to feel guilty for in my own home... there are no acceptable excuses, even for the afflictions that are not deliberately intended

“The lens is a veil in front of your eyes and we don't realize it's there” “We have also learned to not have face-to-face connections, only virtual. This impacts our ability and interest in sitting in the same room with someone, and actually talk with people face-to-face."

Simplest little tidbit I've taken too long to learn

Nothing will flourish, nothing with grow without your willful contribution and effort

Life is a collection of reciprocal relationships 

You cannot sit on your ass and feel bad and complain and be critical or cynical about anything that you could easily improve or change if you just put in a small amount of effort

Why is it sometimes so hard to appreciate And to relish in what is mine

Why do I need reminders of the goodness that I have and why can't access it myself
