Mirror - who’s looking back

Pleonasms rain like empty taunts Toward days best deserved by: Dogs, lost loves, and dreams. However, deadened were these Words upon little boys grown old, So very stained by sin and what The world truly offers in annual candles.

This tautology, my only and lonely Mantra, parades the years, Moments I can only recognize, Not to be confused with a Welcomed reminiscence, I know too well, the truth in Growing old, in growing cold -

Age takes no prisoners, for The years have no mercy.

    - H.H. (2023)

" You can call me a freak, you can call me a creep, but one thing you can't call me and that is.... I'm weak. "

Keep on moving. I know you can. We'll look back and be so proud somewhen.

I will not turn my clocks back.

I will then be living one hour in the future.

I greet you, people of the past.

Your ways are quaint.

The Old Soul in a Young Body: A Journey Through Time and Self

There has always been a feeling deep within me, a sense that I am more connected to the past than to the present moment. An old soul trapped in a young body. Sometimes, it's hard to explain, but it's as though there’s an unspoken connection to something greater, something timeless.

I can remember feeling this way ever since kindergarten. Even back then, there was an underlying feeling of not quite fitting into this time, as if I were older in my mind than my age would suggest. I've always been drawn to older, more timeless things in life—books, art, and ideas that have stood the test of time.

Maybe it's the way I find comfort in old books, the wisdom from philosophers long gone, or the timeless beauty in ancient art. Maybe it’s my fascination with history, the way I can lose myself in stories from distant times, as though I’ve lived them myself. It’s as if I’ve gathered fragments of the past and carried them with me, unknowingly, into this life.

There’s a certain depth to this feeling that I can’t shake off. It's not nostalgia, but rather a quiet certainty that I’ve always been drawn to things that have survived the trials of time. I can lose myself in the philosophy of the past, or find strange peace when I’m surrounded by nature. It’s as if I’m meant to explore these worlds, understand them, even if I don't always know why.

And it’s not just in my thoughts. It also shows in my creativity. Whether it’s writing stories, capturing moments through photography, or even my thoughts on AI and the future, there’s always this pull between the past and the present. It’s as if I’m constantly balancing two worlds: one that is long gone and one that is unfolding right before me.

It’s both comforting and frustrating. On one hand, I feel like I possess a wisdom that goes beyond my years, but on the other hand, it’s hard to keep up with the pace of the world around me. There’s a longing for something that can’t quite be grasped, and at times, it feels like I’m simply waiting for a time or place that truly feels like home.

Being an old soul in a young body isn’t always easy. But it gives me a unique perspective—one that’s grounded in the past yet always curious about the future.

Moonstone Pendant

I have been looking back at some of my previous makes to get some ideas for some new pieces for the new year and I can across this one.

This is a moonstone cabochon wrapped in silver filled wire in a twist design.

VIDEO GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The thing about happiness is you only know you had it when it’s gone. I mean you may think to yourself that you’re happy. But you don’t really believe it. You focus on the petty bullshit, or the next job, or whatever. It’s only looking back, by comparison with what comes after, that you really understand that’s what happiness felt like.” – Kellogg, Fallout 4
