Yes, I am smart, well-read, and have a wicked sense of humor. In fact, I’d date myself if I could. And as you noticed from this previous statement- I am also teeming with self-confidence. I have this power over you that you wouldn’t recognize if it were staring you in the face.
This world is a haven for the desperate and confused and I am at its center, spinning with renewed focus and determination. Cause even if I try to decipher everything happening around me, words will fail, efforts won’t impress, and life goes on. I walk the same path but now slowly, the space between my head playing a song drives away the ghosts that used to fill my lungs.

Anyway, I think my dislike for people posting food on Facebook to show off their culinary affluence is slowly enlarging into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind. Okay, maybe not everyone. That would be too much hatred. Just, people who are on Facebook and Instagram. Now that I think about it, basically, just about everyone.
Take it in from all the corners of my room, close your eyes, and be taken back to a time when everything in this world was a place full of excitement and embrace.
Watch closely as its three wicks flicker a reminiscent glow that weaves an intricate love story of you and me.
The day you read this is the day you’ll suffer from a lack of common sense in critical places. But you will wake up. You will have an epiphany. You will realize things that you had no idea ever existed. And you will learn. That your life has turned into a compendium of unimportant matters. …
