Like im literally doing nothing with my life and i think ahead a few years and i cant imagine myself doing anything differentBut also i desperately want to escape this cycle but im too tired and i have no motivation.how does that even make sense. I desperately want something else but i dont have the motivation to get it. brother the motivation is right there. at my core im a very lazy person And such a thing is quite life ruining Like i imagine where i could be right now if i were just less lazy and it literally makes me want to rip my heart out of my chest

Hippy at Heart

I look back on those carefreedays of the nineteen-seventiesand smell pungent Afghan coats,see maxi skirts and knee-high boots,although I preferred to go barefoot.I loved Indian cheesecloth blouses,bangles, beads and loon trousers,bird-covered and scoop-neckedt-shirts, and velvet Biba rejects,patchouli oil, hats and mood rings,and so many other thingsthat I thought made me differentbut, of course,…

Diving in bad weatherUnfortunately, the winter is long and the days of cold and bad weather are many. This can undoubtedly prove desperate for the diver, to the point that many prefer to ignore it and perform their dives anyway.There's nothing wrong with that. Diving in bad weather can become a truly rewarding unique experience, provided a set of basic rules of caution are followed, as the risks involved increase significantly.We wrote this article for all those who think that there is no winter under the sea.DIVE IN BAD WEATHERDiving in bad weather is not only possible but it can be a unique experience.Every movement that is made underwater must be measured and studied, and therefore enjoyed to the fullest; all caution is little and we must put all our senses on alert, which will certainly make us live immersion in a way totally and differentBut it's not just that, with bad weather marine wildlife is much more alive—and that makes for a unique spectacle. Effectively, with the turbulent sea the food is much more abundant and that causes a real stir among the inhabitants of the deep, who will also be much less scary in the turbulent places. So bad weather offers us the opportunity to see how many species are fed.Of course not everything is pretty. Diving when the weather is bad requires a lot of knowledge along with a lot of caution.FEATURES OF THE IMMERSIONAny immersion comes with a series of preparations we all know, because well, when the weather is bad, all caution is little and therefore must be taken into account many considerations that we pass to comment, while all of them they could be summed up in one word: caution.First up, there's the choice of the dive zone. This is always an important issue, but even more so when weather conditions don't cooperate. To such an extent that the success or failure of the day will largely depend on this choice.In this sense, if we find ourselves in a place where we are not used to diving, it will always be advisable to have the experience of a professional in the area who accompanies us and whom we should follow at all times. We will only decide to make the dive ourselves when we know the area well and know the coat spots.Of course there should always be someone on the surface and, in case it is over a boat. , that someone should be able to dominate the ship under any circumstance, so that we know that we can count on them if the situation gets worse than we thought.Once in the water our biggest problem will almost certainly be orientation. That is why it is fundamental to take a series of references that allow us to sit down even if there is poor visibility or we encounter an unexpected current.In case of disorientation, it is fundamental not to scare us since that will only make us more nervous and therefore make the situation worse.THE CURRENTSIf there's one thing to keep in mind when taking a dive in bad weather, it's the currents we may encounter.With bad weather the phenomenon known as deep sea is usually common and it can hide important dangers. Firstly the movements produced by this deep sea can surprise and disbalance us, so if we are not aware the consequences can be dire.But not only this, the deep sea often masquerades the known as deep currents, the direction and strength of which is therefore very difficult to calculate.We should also be careful with shallow currents, influenced by the wind and which tend to be more virulent in areas near the coast.More dangerous are usually the suction currents, regular in tunnels or cannons. These can be so strong that they even rip off our mask.Three general precautions regarding currents:It will always be the most experienced diver who knows the area best that will go ahead to analyze the situation.We should try to take advantage of the current by always sailing in their favor.In case the current is strong, it is recommended to stick to the bottom and help each other with both arms to move forward.Needless to say, we should also be careful with the waves, which can throw us against the shore. Don't trust small waves; in the Mediterranean, for example, these small waves are usually very consecutive and that ends up baffling and even making the diver dizzy.TIPSAs we have already mentioned, a dive in bad weather presents a lot of extra risks that you should know. It is absurd to act brave and that is why it is always advisable to keep a number of basic precautions:Never dive alone. Solo diving is never recommended, but much less if the weather conditions don't cooperate. The need to count on a partner's help will be very normal.Before diving, eat high calorie foods: chocolate, nuts, hot drinks... They'll help us warm up and keep us from starting the diving.Don't lose sight of your peers. We should never be so separated that we lose visibility of the group, so that they can immediately come to our help if they need it.Check out the gear properly. This is another basic rule that should always be met, but it is vitally important when the weather is bad, as it increases stress during diving and with it air consumption.Needless to say, to avoid the cold, we'll need a special suit. Dry suits are meant for this kind of dives.We should always count on outside help.Before deciding to dive we must be properly informed about the current weather and forecast, seeing how things get worse without notice is not usually :funny:... There are different methods to get the information: VHF Channel 16, National Meteorology Institute, Local Maritime Captain, Area Sea Clubs...Never dive near the shore, any sea gusts can throw us against rocks and we can get a bad blow.During diving, try to be in constant motion, to avoid the cold.It is always advisable to explore new, less frequent places, in case the usual ones present greater dangers. Thrill zones can sometimes offer us major surprises.Don't rely on visibility from the surface, it can be significantly reduced to a few meters due to suspended particles.In case that during the dive we start throwing, we must warn our teammates and call the dive finished.And one last tip: Let's always try to learn with each new experience

Thoughts (Elliot Alderson x Reader)

Description: He keeps coming back to you and there’s no reason; you keep coming back to him with no reason, either. His thoughts try to make sense of it.

God, I don't know why I thought this was a good idea. Why would I ever imagine I could be normal, even for a single night? It's far too late to leave now and too early to depart. No one else has left. Would you even notice if I was gone? You said hello to me an hour ago, and now you're wiling away your time on the edge of the circle, but I can see the tension in your face. You think you're so good at hiding it. No one is.

The bathroom, like in many places, is the only room to find relief in. It's quiet in here, it's still in here, and there's an easy excuse to lock the door. The counter is still freezing beneath my already frigid fingers, only aiding my headache to dig further into my skull. Nothing, nothing. I wish I was dead, and there are footsteps outside the door, who ask for an attention I don't want to give. Not right now. I need to smoke more. I need a drink, or I need to know what to say; I don't know how to do this anymore. Did I ever know? Or did I just imagine that I did?

"Elliot?" You ask, rapping your knuckles twice against the white wood. "You okay in there?"

"Yeah," I say, but my voice cracks, and it sounds like I'm crying despite the fact that I'm already too high to cry.

You're quiet for a moment. I can see you past the door––leaning against it, your brow furrowed with an anxiousness found common in your expression, and your teeth biting your lip.

"Let me in, El."

Is the door even locked?

It is. My hand slams down on the door handle, unlocking the mechanism before it falls back onto the counter. A second later you slip inside the dim, candle-lit room, unable to stand anywhere but in my space, yet incapable of looking at me. It's alright––I'm just the same. I hate looking at you; how it makes me feel, like ants are crawling over my skin, like some bug is burrowing into my heart. I'm not going to be able to delete this––this bug is already engrained in my coding.

"You didn't have to come if you didn't want to," you said quietly, your arms crossed as you lean back against the small counter.

Usually I'd be staring at myself, at puffy eyes and a stupid, quivering lip, but I don't want to see you, your clothes or your face––again, it's too much. Too much. I can only stare at my hands.

"I know," I mumble. My fingers are digging deeper into the cold counter.

"Then what's the matter?"

"Nothing," I say, but we both know it's a lie, so I try to come up with something better. "I don't know, I don't want to talk about – I don't know."

"Did someone say something, or do something?"

"No."

"Well – was it me? Did I do something?"

"No."

"What happened then? Is it – did this start a while ago?"

"I don't know."

"Elliot," you sigh, and your tone is so familiar I almost chuckle, but it comes out as discomfort and distaste. I know you're picking up on it.

"You're not – you're not going to understand, you're not like me, you're – you've made an art of pretending to be normal," I say with a dry chuckle, and without thinking. I should know better. Why did I say that?

There are things I know about you that I shouldn't, private things found so easily across the internet. I can't let on what I've done––mention how achingly hard you stick out when you don't mask your neurodivergent behaviors.

"I've made an art of it?" You scoff. "You've made an art of pretending to be alive. Don't judge me just because I'm trying to be a better person."

A sharp breath rips through my dry throat as my fists clench involuntarily. At last some source of energy fuels me, and I can raise myself to the mirror.

"You really think this shit's gonna make you feel normal? Like you don't have any problems?" I ask in his words, gesturing violently towards the locked door. "You think hosting parties just to feel lonely while surrounded by people is gonna make you feel better? It's not. It's gonna make you feel like you're made of plastic, fucking dead like the rest of us."

You're staring at me in my reflection, and despite you having an even voice and mine cracking all over the place, you're the one with red-rimmed eyes.

"I'm trying," you whisper out through the tension in your chest.

"To do what?" I ask. It's too harsh.

"I don't know," you say, and a few stray tears are now tracing these lines of silver down your cheeks. I have to bite my cheek to avoid wiping them away. "I feel like a bad person and I am. How do you deal with that?"

Of course you'd ask me. I know what you think of me; I know you think I'm pessimistic, and depressing, and apathetic. I know, and I hate it, and I don't know what to do about it.

Maybe this was my way of trying to absolve that, coming to this party; of course now I'm just solidifying your mindset, convincing you this is all I am. Cruel words from a bitter man made so by a crueler world. Why do I have to be like this? There's something burning in my bones; something that leaks into my nerves and my heart, crystallizing the already weary muscle. Is this what modern love feels like? This feeling of helplessness? I don't want it anymore. Could I liberate myself of you, or would the process rip from me what little is left of my mind?

I don't know you and I still miss you. I hate the feeling of people's hands on me even though they're always there; but you always adhered to that rule, despite the fact that I never told you to. I wish for a lot of things and your name has been whispered between my lips in those atheistic prayers.

You chuckle and shake your head. I must've taken too long to respond.

"God, I fucking hate you sometimes," you mumble, and before the last word ever leaves your mouth, you're gone out the door, slamming it behind you.

I really, really don't know you, and you don't know me at all, either. We're drawn to one another like dust into stars, like heroes to ruin, and there's no cure or fix for this fallacy. It's another constant of the universe that I wish I had the power to change; you don't need to see me, and I don't need to see how the life drains out of your eyes whenever I step into the room.

Yet I'm here again, approaching your side, imagining how I could quell the shiver in your chest with my hands; how I would've warmed you in a different life, or kissed you as a different person.

"Moth to flame, huh?" You say, staring at the lit cigarette between your fingers. A small grimace is on your face. "I'm gonna burn myself one of these days."

"With a cigarette?" I ask.

You stare at the embers before raising your eyes to meet mine.

"No," you say with a soft, humorless chuckle. "No, not that."

I never seem to understand you. There was only one time when I thought I did, when you came crashing into my apartment sick with drunkenness, wailing about not being alive or being human. Even in your haze you knew who to come to, and I thought that meant something.

It didn't. It never does. I don't understand you and I don't think I ever will, but to be perfectly fair, you're probably thinking the same exact thing about me. Do you wonder if I like you? Do you imagine I'll be brave enough to reach out to you? You left before I could speak to you that morning, and you're leaving now, trying to slide past me on the tiny balcony.

Something raises my hand to your chest, stopping you when you're near enough to feel the heat radiating off my neck. Beneath my fingers, I can feel how your breath tenses, how it halts as your gaze falls to me. How you try to swallow when I look you in the eye.

Can I say anything without sounding stupid? I've got your eye, your ear, everything for once––I have you, without anger or doubt or sorrow, and nothing comes to mind.

I love you is too much.

I'm sorry is too little.

Words are far too small for you, but these images and feeling swirling around me are entirely invisible and impossible to communicate. Action is the only solace, the only answer in a world full of failing promises and flat lies, and it's the only thing I can manage in the blissful silence between us, isolated from the worlds upon worlds below us.

You know what I want, even from a flicker of my eye, and you stay still when I kiss you. It's barely a kiss, barely even a touch, but this tiny shudder runs through your body, and a fierce sense of protection seizes me to pull you in, deepening an affection I'm not sure you even desire. But you're unmoving––a statue amongst the drifting clouds, above the bustling streets, within cavernous parts of me where my screams still echo from anguishes long forgotten; the ones that still linger nameless on the edge of my consciousness. I am too much and too little, too much catastrophe and too few words. No one wants that. No one wants someone too broken to fix.

You taste a little like tobacco and whiskey––it's enough to distract me from the fact that your hand came to tug at my sweatshirt, scared of fully touching me but desperate to pull me in. For your sake I shift closer, and I feel the way you release, how a sedative of chemicals washes over your usually anxious demeanor. Your lips are moving against mine and I could swear I'm short-circuiting, incapable of anything but taking whatever you're willing to give.

Please be mine. Please belong to me. Please stop this endless game. I can't keep chasing and running away at the same time anymore.

When you part, there's hesitation in your hands and eyes, in the way you linger to feel my breath coasting back across your skin in the winter chill. Then you meet my eye and I finally see you're crying again.

"I hate you, Elliot," you say, pushing back past me. "Make me feel like shit and then pretend t' try and make me feel better?" You pull your sleeves back up onto your shoulders. "Real fuckin' funny."

The door slams behind you, blocking me off from the party inside. It's what I wanted, isn't it? Isolation.

Nothing.

I wish I was dead.

Fiori

Perché per parlarti d’amore, devo parlarti di fiori?  se l ‘amore è tutt’altro, se i suoi mille colori sono quelli dei suoi petali delicati e taglienti, se la sua vita è più breve di quella dei  fiori stessi e il suo profumo ti perseguita nei sogni dominando ogni altro desiderio. Perché unire la fragilità della natura alla durezza dei sentimenti, una provvisorietà stagionale a un’inquietudine eterna, a questa prolifica dipendenza dove ogni tuo istante vive grazie ad un’altra vita, sogna grazie ai sogni di un altro. Perché poi chi ama, non trova in se nessun sollievo e tutto quello che sente e vede è solo la cornice che racchiude chi ama? L’altare su cui santifica la sua religione personale, il fuoco che brucia nella parte più nascosta del vulcano della sua anima? Perché unire la semplicità delle forme, dei colori e dello stesso esistere alla complicanza dei sentimenti, perché dover capire cosa si prova per poi non saperlo esprimere per come lo si sente, con parole e gesti che spesso si vestono di follia a dire la pazzia che affligge l’animo e distrugge il cuore. Per quanto io cerchi e per quanto pretenda di far entrare nella mia piccola ragione, questo immenso semplice  mistero che è l’amore, posso solo dire che senza un piccolo fiore, nessuna pianta vivrebbe o avrebbe senso, ogni vegetale sarebbe prigioniero della sua arida eternità  e solitudine, vivrebbe di sole senza restituirne la gioia tra i suoi petali e così, per quante parole si possono spendere ed esempi riportare, lo stesso sarebbe per l’uomo senza l’amore.

Why do I have to talk to you about flowers to talk to you about love? if love is something differentbut, if its thousand colors are those of its delicate and sharp petals, if its life is shorter than that of the flowers themselves and its scent haunts you in dreams, dominating every other desire. Because combining the fragility of nature with the hardness of feelings, a seasonal provisionality with an eternal restlessness, with this prolific addiction where your every moment lives thanks to another life, dreams thanks to the dreams of another heart. Why then does who loves find no relief in himself and everything he hears and sees is only the frame that encloses the one he loves? The altar on which he sanctifies his personal religion, the fire that burns in the most hidden part of the volcano of his soul? Why combine the simplicity of shapes, colors and existence itself with the complication of feelings, because having to understand what he feels like and then not knowing how to express it as it feels, with words and gestures that often dress in madness to say the madness that it afflicts the soul and destroys the heart. As much as I try and as much as I pretend to let this immense simple mystery that is love enter into my small mind, I can only say that without a small flower, no plant would live or make sense, every vegetable would be a prisoner of its arid eternity. and loneliness, it would live on the sun without restoring its joy among its petals and so, no matter how many words and examples can be given, it would be the same for man without love.

Desert

in the desert, all you can hope isthat tomorrow, things will be differentbut sizzling hot sand dunes,dryness in air is constantreminder of misery of this journey but at night, when the darknessarrived in its cold carpet,and the only thing that shinesis the moon and the stars in sky,it’ll remind you of warm blood in you. 10.6.2022
