Inevitable Departure

inevitable departure

someone has to leave first—

that’s the rule,

etched in the marrow of every hello.

we pretend it’s far off,

an ending for another day,

but it sits between us like a shadow

at the dinner table,

quiet, patient,

unfolding napkins we never meant to place.

either you die,

or i do,

or you find a life somewhere else

with sunshine i can’t offer

and conversations that don’t ache.

maybe one day your heart

just stops echoing mine—

it forgets the beat we built.

one of us will leave first.

and god,

what a cruel truth that is.

because even in love,

even in the best of it,

there’s an expiration we can’t read

until it’s passed.

and the worst part?

the world won’t stop.

i’ll still have to wake up,

brush my teeth,

fold the sheets you once tangled in,

and somehow

teach my heart to recognize a new rhythm.

someone else’s laugh.

someone else’s shoulder

that will never feel quite right.

rebuilding is not bravery,

it’s necessity.

and i hate that.

i hate knowing

this beautiful thing

we cradle like glass

has a fault line running through it

we can’t see until it shatters.

but still—

i love you.

knowing full well

one of us will leave first.

and maybe that’s

the most human thing of all.

I Want To Fly, I Want To Fly So Bad It Hurts. I've So Desperately Wanted To Fly Since I Can First Remember.

I want to fly, I want to fly so bad it hurts. I've so desperately wanted to fly since I can first remember. Like imagine it. Being up so high that the ground begins to fade away. Just you and the sky and the clouds and the wind. Day and night. The wind so loud you can't even hear yourself laughing. So free and weightless. This is all you're made for, you were made for the sky. Meant to soar through clouds and stars and sunlight.

Fuck, did I mention I really wanna fly?

the thing i immediately LOVE about the pale garden and the creaking is that it kinda feels to me like they're trying to emulate the creep factor that old minecraft had. the low visibility, the emptiness, the unfamiliar sounds, the feeling that something else is there just out of sight... the same elements that led to the rise of herobrine and other stories, and are now seeing a resurgence with the rise of args and digital horror series. looking into a dark forest and seeing a set of glowing eyes staring back at you is the exact same horror that herobrine was built on. seeing them showcase this biome felt like a throwback all the way to back when i first booted up the game more than a decade ago and felt an immense sense of unease as i looked to the horizon, and i absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this update.

God I forgot the things I posted on my old account 💀

So I was outside with my dogs and I see something on the ground. I'm over here thinking that it's probably a tiny piece of glass and I don't want my dogs stepping on it but I'm not entirely sure that it's glass. So, like the incredibly intelligent human being I am, I stepped on it. And I was right. It was glass. I've stepped on a lot of little bits of glass before so it's fine it didn't really hurt.
