“You Can, You Should, And If You’re Brave Enough To Start, You Will.”

“Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.”

— André Aciman

Epiphany

How fast the wind blows

Past the trees a time ago

When we saw our dreams so true

But now we have had to go

The kaleidoscope that once shone through

Our very souls and eyes

With time flown by our every steps

This life has bid goodbye

For the road we travelled on

Fell away beneath our feet

It had been paved for many years

The gravel, now ash of bittersweet

Now it is clearly understood

Our fate was not to cross

For now our selves are shattered

Seems everything is gone

Maybe it was for the best

Separate roots to break through

For divided, I can confess

The worst of me is subdued

You were my blanket

Something I already knew

But the world out there is different

Needing a resilient me to debut

I had a dream where I was playing a real live video-esque game. it was not the first dream of its kind that I've experienced, but it was the first one where I was paired with a person who was responsible for keeping me alive and for whom I had the responsibility to keep alive. Whoever my partner was, I may not have known your name or caught a glimpse of what you looked like, but no one could ask for a more reliable, trustworthy and supportive in-game partner. At the start I may have thought you had abandoned me, leaving me to safeguard our relic on my own, but in the end you proved to be the better tactician who taught me on the fly how to really play the game. From saving my arse from getting killed by OP players, not to mention your crazy, but brilliant driving skills (thank the stars you took over from me. I was surprised I didn't make us crash!), you pretty much carried me until the next portal which was when I woke up. It might've just been a dream (you could just be a figment of my imagination) but thank you nonetheless for taking a stranger under your wings. If old folklore was to be believed, you were the keeper of my abilities to return to the waking plane last night.

Pretty sure the troll in him would do it too.

Me trying to follow a seminar outside of my field...

Q: How do you stay normal?

B: I don’t know if we do stay normal … we try.

A: I’ve never been normal.

R: We’re not normal.

Waking up in the morning and not wanting to get out of bed.

Chance

The wind cried out to my soul.

As I basked in the sea of clouds,

The desire of my heart,

Called out of its shroud.

For once I felt unencumbered.

It was almost like you

Were there with me.

For that one moment - ephemeral

Time stood still.

My entire body full of warmth.

Weightless in standing,

Like floating in the exosphere.

But time and circumstance are cruel beings,

Making life the hell we needed.

And as the gulls shattered my brief paradise,

The pit of fact settles back:

That we may never meet-

...I hope we meet.
