Splinter

I lie and you lie in the piercing cold winds of Sydney with every intention to get the hell out of this desolate yet somewhat assiduous environment. But we end up still stuck here in the same spot with absurdity running through our tightened veins, eyes fixated on nothing as the clouds shift. Every passer-by is an innocent enemy but we're going to have to work through this one without any conflict so we'll just ignore them. Tired? Yes. Nonchalant? No. I just don't know how long this will last, you and I. I guess it's almost over...

It's almost over but I'll always remember you.

Just Being Honest

I just wanted to express how much I appreciate people who are willing to obtain knowledge from a variety of resources. It takes a big heart, open mind and enthusiastic soul to carry this quality. Though I personally think we're all born this way, the structure of society is powerful in changing our minds in order for us to adapt to norms set up by greed and envy, especially when we are feeling a little vulnerable. That being said, there are so many of you that I've only just recently met that I see hope in and those of you that I've known for a while who have grown and blossomed into such wise wonders. I've had so many fruitful conversations with people in the past few months where the thinking doesn't end when you say "Bye" or when the conversation ends but it continues on and those very thoughts seem to intertwine with my everyday life.
Thank you for helping me learn, think and appreciate.

EDIT: Wow, Stono, way to talk down to people. I'm such an idiot. I'm sorry, this post sounds so pretentious when read in different ways. I don't mean to sound like a snobby wannabe deep-thinker. I really do feel so grateful.
