Aloneness is the secret society of one.
Silence
I want my silence to mean more than the absence of noise. It should be filled with the unique wonder that only comes when we can measure the distance between ourselves in the units of beings of aloneness.
Questions
I recently had a question regarding the origin of one of the quotes on my tumblr. The last ‘quote’ post was actually written by yours truly. I guess I should turn on that questions feature on my tumblr eh?

I woke up this morning to the same sadness I went to sleep with, but I was near family, so it was somewhat more bearable. I wear fatigue these days like a pair of old socks that hang off my toes as if they’re ready to come off, but somehow they stay the course. The couch was my makeshift bed, and I laid there meditating, trying to find and assemble a half-forgotten dream from images that...
