day 1



i've decided to test/stretch my vulnerability (since i'm always encouraging others to be vulnerable) and over the next 7 days i plan to post something everyday that shares the space i'm in, whether it be a video, poem, lines, whatever...


so i guess i'll start now...with day 1.

day 1

it's a preoccupation
a stubborn idea about who we are
a vision about how others should see us
yet only a portion of it is real
most of it consist of trivial notions we've conjured up in our heads
things we've chosen to cling to 
a mindset that can't be broken
a pattern that won't be shattered
an unwillingness to allow life to lead us
instead we force our actions to match
where we think we should be going
while what is truly real passes us by.

dammit,
i left my lunch home
preoccupation at it's finest...

Question...

What happens when you find out that the search is futile and living in this moment is what matters?

questions?

how does it feel to live like this?


loving from a distance?

half-heartedly seeking?

settling?

ambition driven while harboring measurable loneliness?

strategically pulling away from anyone who gets too close?

loosing friendships?

rarely taking ownership?

expressing just enough truth to sound sincere?

asking for more?

unwilling to recriprocate?

creating memories yet experiencing nothing substantial?

never going deeper?

barely nicking the surface?

committed only to self preservation?

always alone?


how does it feel to be like this?


love like this?


does it feel at all?
