when will it end?

i dread the days

all the days

my brain is having conversations even as i sleep

where is the peace and bliss?

but sometimes

there are those brief moments of silence

and for a moment i start to feel safe in my skin

If i do when harry met sally i’m gonna need some help deciding the argument between the both of them (like how harry and sally argue that boys and girls can’t just be friends)

and if i do before sunrise there is a 50% chance i’ll do the other two movies in the trilogy

but if it’s sleepless in seattle the plot is going to be a lot different from the movie cause i just can’t see ether of them having a child and plus they don’t meet till like at the end soooo…. it’s def not my first choice

RIDE YOUR WAVE IS AN ANIME LOVE STORY AND ITS SO HEARTBREAKING!!!

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

Chief Seattle letter.. Please read.

(Written by a great Native American Chief, Chief Seattle. Few things had changed and if we don’t stop destroying the tropical forest and the forest, polluting our water and the air. Mother Nature will out-live men greed. Once a great chief stated about Ohio. Why do the white man hate nature. Do they want to destroy all things that are beautiful?) The President in Washington sends word that he…

Scheria

These waves crash hard into me like I am a greater force to conquer than the very shore it swore to forever be enemies with

The storm rolls in, a cavalry of raindrops assault my skin, and I just sit there and take it

What power do I know?

Your current pulled me in and it was your charm that held me under

Maybe drowning would finally bring this battle to an end, the white flag did nothing for me anyhow

But what mercy does nature know? Living must inevitably meet dying

The ocean rises to any occasion it gets to swallow prey whole I was caught in the crossfire of a battle centuries older than myself I was a sacrifice for someone else's temporary greater good I only realized it too late

I am no Odysseus, I lie with the bones of the giants who overtook me I stare into the evil eye of the storm with no such luxury as a sword to fight against what is to come

Courage is unkind, but it is my sharpest of knives And with it the wild tides finally retreat

Wallingford

Little big girl, On a rainy day, tongue meeting Honey lavender and earl grey in a day Grayer than the pavement. She misses the love which Gains quirks rusted by refinement; Her last message: “Call me before the wires get cut, So we may not even know who we were.”

Now drinking earl grey In the gray big city, She tries to sniff out youth, Only to get waffles and brunch instead. Clean lines instead of iconic signs Suddenly transform her into one One of them One of the lost.

Love is never far away In this seaside based life, But it is not beach, More like the tourist trap That she embraces to live Rather than survive, In this wretched world she has loved, But has refused to love back fully. --Elda Mengisto (written sometime in 2016)

Not only was grunge music influenced by hardcore punk but by New York punk. Chris Cornell explains that he was influenced by Television. To Patti Smith, Tom Verlaine`s signature guitar style sounds like “a thousand bluebirds screaming”. Whilst, The Guardian noted that Tom Verlaine is ‘‘a guitar antihero whose sensibility was more classical than Clapton’’. Soundgarden`s guitarist - Kim Thayil also was influenced by Verlaine and Television. Cornell explains that:

‘‘Kim was influenced by Television a lot. And bands like Television are the reason I started playing guitar in Soundgarden. I started writing songs that had more than one guitar part, where it wasn’t just playing the same thing. There would be one colour part that would come in and out, or some rhythmic thing that would happen when the other guitar was doing its thing. That was directly influenced by bands like Television’’ (Sarig, 1998,p.180).

Chris Cornell also helped on Jeff Buckley`s album Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk (1998) which was co-produced by Tom Verlaine. Chris Cornell played a big part in this album. After Buckley`s death in 1997, Buckley’s mother, Mary Guibert, explains that Cornell helped her to navigate the music industry and get the album released.

Ribbons

Ribbons I cut the ribbons from my life to mark the pagesof the loves that made me cry, of the sleeplessnights knowing everyone has gone, from fieldsemptied over many years. I bravely look on. I wonder, will you remember my warm hand onyour hand, cooling as you slept away from me,the ribbon that kept us together now in a boxon my desk. The color of my life without you. I learned how to not grow…

“I think I left a piece of my heart in Washington state

I left it at the bottom of a cold lake

I left it in the way the sun feels, on a drizzly November day, when the clouds break

I left it with friends who will always be there,

In the Puget Sound

Maybe, I will always be there too

I left it with a boy, that my heart doesn’t know how to stop loving

He moved to Chicago, and became a man,

And now I can’t get it back

I left it with an old women who bought a house,

And journals,

And candles on the

Peninsula

Someday I will become some of version her,

That’s when I’ll get it back”

Drowning by Suffocation

You were like a wave, the hardest thing to ever hit me with the audacity to try and pull me back in. Those blue eyes stare at me and suddenly I sink down beyond the surface of myself, introspection kills, but love drowns and asks for no help. The thing about panic, when it sets in, is no matter how many breaths you take, you can never seem to get enough air.
