Rules? What rules?
Chaos is the only truth.
There is no *real* win?

Picture of a little dog sitting on a bed in a pink towel looking off into the distance. Text reads: Netflix: Are you still there? (Text near dog reads) I don't know anymore

The marble lies cracked,
Dust settles on great empires,
Like only stone lasts.

The young scorn the old,
Blind to the lessons they hold,
Knowledge goes unused.

Spotify wrapped page, top artist is Jorge Rivera-Herrans. 8,706 minutes and 0.6% global fan... I guess this is a #JorgeRivera-Herrans fan account now? #Ithaca Saga is still, firmly, in my soul 🌊🏹♥️

I guess this is a
#JorgeRivera-Herrans fan account now? 8,706 minutes is just the beginning. Huge shout out to the Cast of #EPICTheMusical and #TheChallenge for dominating my life this year, the #IthacaSaga is still, firmly, in my soul
🌊🏹♥️

Blasting the classics! Mid 30's going on late 50's 🧓I already knew my music taste was chronologically challenged... 32,820 minutes later, Spotify thinks I need a retirement plan and a subscription to classic radio 😆

Minutes listened this year to Spotify... 32,820. That's 22 days 🫠

1,646 songs listened to this year... Number one?

The Challenge by Jorge Rivera-Harrans, and the Cast of Epic: The Musical. Only 130 times played 🌊⚔️♥️

That time again, #SpotifyWrapped, anyone?

We were too eager
For another shot
Before kissing the other side.

That’s the nature of us
Hopeless romantics—
We sprout gills
& forget to breathe
On land.

I’ll admit:
I don’t think #chivalry is dead,
But I held on too tight
& didn’t let enough
Light in.

It was all for you & none for me.

Horror Writing Prompt no. 2024: reanimate

In order to bring her back to life, first he would need some parts to replace what was damaged. After taking a trip to the morgue, he found the perfect donor. Too bad the medical examiner was working alone that day.

He smiled, indulgent,
While planning how to cleanly #prune
... A branch... from the tree.

Kite circles in the blue heat,
Winged arsonist.

I wish it was socially acceptable to say "I don't care” and just walk away from the conversation

As bookstore numbers decline in Japan, many are leasing out shelves The shelves are leased out to book lovers to allow them to sell the works they want to recommend, fostering communities of such “shelf owners.”

So, Time, tried again.
And again... 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛, but,
The Fool, wouldn't stop.

your morning walks

A chilling echo—
I stood petrified in the

Growing up were there any moments in movies that traumatized you? 😬

Oof.
This.

This is a truly stunning and moving verse, thank you ✨🧡

The guard stands his post,
Vigilant, mustn't #overlook,
Movement? In the dark.

Our intimate talks
like midnight walks—
secrets swapped
in darkness,
decyphered in shadows

hands in the night
holding the answers
light forgets—
caressed into skin

lips communicate—
kissing truths
our ears can't hear

a meeting souls,
that speak,
in silent congress.

malamute huffs, unamused~

Cheers frozen on lips,
Pink glitter hangs up high,
As... Silence... fills the room.

Snowflakes drift between bare trees in a quiet winter yard. A low wall of cut wood stretches across the field, and a patch of green glows in the foreground.

winter says “be still”
but something in me answers
I am not finished
