some new kind of light or new kind of dark ?

Fuck on all of that
I've everything I need
and always have had

because of this
I have never been

appreciating what you have as a beautiful thing may be the only road to contentment...I think it is....we live in a culture that often cries for more....it's the fodder for advertising....and a false flag for achieving "happineness"

good to see your words mingo

I’ve always treasured my solitude.
It was a joy to hear my own breathing!
Imagine how surprised I was to find myself
so alone, the pain became unbearable!
I’m shocked by the experience.
I never thought that could happen.
I’m over it now. Why would I lie?

I never felt so alone as when I was married
and realized maybe we'd made a mistake
like I had to hide the Me from the Her
she only knew the one who accompanied her
to parties and cookouts and nights out
not the one who liked to write
or do mathematics
she became jealous of my notebooks
and so I stopped writing
and doing mathematics
such a long, cold winter that was
.
