Riches/Rags

Just because someone is so-called privileged, it doesn't mean that they haven't done it tough.

Yes, it's all relative, but we all have eyes, ears, hearts.

Eight legs

It's one of those nights, I cannot seem to sleep. I close my eyes to enter a strange world of lucid dreaming and upon waking I see that the real life spiders are indeed getting bigger. If only I could work out what is really on my mind.

Please do not mistake me, all in life is well! I just know that this particular reticular activation system takes off when something is amiss.

Part II

Just slide the window shut, that way the breeze can't get in.

How is your bag?

Does that chilly blast from the past cool your back should it remain turned?

It's not that there are any hard feelings; it makes no sense to be bitter should the outcome be dandy. And as they say - time heals all wounds - it's just an unexpected curve ball.

America, fuck yeah!

Closer

This special variety of kindness and patience that I seemingly reserve for strangers; why can I not treat those close to me with the same compassion and respect? I am tired and the cracks are showing.

It has been a massive few weeks for me and for a few hours I am now forced to sit still and I realise that I am reeling.

I may be disappointed in some of my behaviour of late (snappy Tom on a power trip?) but I am moreso chuffed with the direction I have taken. I am officially good at life with a focus and work ethic I have never before witnessed of myself. Next move? To align that unrelentingly upbeat version of me with the driven one I have become.

Piece of cake!
