It’s a bit ironic that we spend so much time trying to carefully fit ourselves into a world that falls apart more everyday. Maybe I’m not carved for this particular puzzle.

For my first 18 years of life, I knew no other way of being than to be surrounded by water: seagulls hovering above the shoreline, sitting on the dock in my backyard watching the boats sail by, watching the ripples run through the water while wondering what created them, waiting for the sun to emerge from the horizon and reflect upon the water all its splendorous rays, observing its shifts in...

Some days I just feel so tired of dealing with people, even those I am close to, but then I wonder if maybe they are simply tired of me, too

It’s weird to think that no matter how much I grow as a person, I will always chase perfection but never attain it.
