Death does not terrify me— the permanence of it does. One moment you're alive and full of everything the world offers you, and then for the rest of eternity, you're nothing. The permanence of death shatters me. To lay deep within the earth until the only one to remember your name is time itself. And we can promise to remember their name forever, but we too will one day become the void that they left behind in our hearts.
....Not Quite Right.

First week of Inktober: this year I’m doing a few of my favorite bands chronologically and candidly as to when I got into them. I’m selling the originals (each is about 4x4, 5x5) and am open to doing prints as well. Hopefully I can compile a zine of all 31 of them at the end of the month. message me on tumblr or email rp0@comcast.net, my paypal is the same.

Your hesitation was always misplaced in my presence. There was never a moment I didn't acknowlge you sincerely, even if the pain pulled me deep into the resesses of only right now.
I know I will apologize to you later, when my reason returns and my lungs stop burning.
What part of "I care," didn't you hear the first time?
Man... I love watching people be harmlessly excited about things. Passionate about them. Start beaming and overflowing with chatter and get all animated and delighted. It breaks my heart when I see them take a breath and apologize and keep backtracking and quieting down because I know at some point they were told to control all that joy. I'm constantly like - don't be sorry! Tell me more! Honey go ahead and talk until your throat is raw. I love being in this moment with you and watching you light up. I don't need to even understand what you're talking about. I just like you, and therefore like anything that makes you feel this way. Lemme sit down. Gimme that Ted talk. Keep on glowing.

Pain changes people.
Chronic pain does more than debilitate the body.
It slowly eats away at the mind. It's many jewel-like facets.
Reason, tolerance, patience, prudence, humility.
It is something else entirely, when you are immobilized by unrelenting agony, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, four weeks to the month, twelve months to the year. On and on and on.
So as you become nothing more than a screaming, crying, wretched mess, trapped in your own skin. Conscious, breathing, suffering without relent.
No longer human.
Just pain.
It is quite a feat; to experience visceral pain so agonizingly profound; that all your fears, past, present and future terrors become entirely inconsequential in the wake of these horrific moments.
The moment when you hear yourself beg for oblivion as a merciful, rational release from this endless suffering.
Where once you took freedom of movement for granted, now, in the bloom of youth, you are sedated, managed yet dysfunctional.
Unable to eat, sleep, walk, sit, stand or bathe without, searing, mindless agony.
One looses many things when in pain.
Fear, primarily.
One could lose the will to live in these moments.
Or.
One could live through it.
Come out the other side.
Invincible.

Small Fortunes Presents: The Witcher - End of The World
Come all ye who would listen, gather round the fireside and pay vigil to this tale of the Witcher...
Where do the Gods go when there are none left to remember their names?
Forever on The Witcher's Path, Geralt of Rivia journeys across The Continent bound for the great Western kingdom of Cidarus. Onward he travels the endless wilderness; through breathtaking mountain side and seemingly endless valley. Beset by the majesty of the deep forest, he becomes unwillingly ensnared by an ancient arcane magic. Yonder, lies the great Gate of Abnok and the vast, haunted city beyond - Yune: The End of the World.
Seduced by its mindless pull, Geralt finds himself dangerously unprepared for the tragedy that awaits. Alone, tormented and hopelessly lost; the crushing power that resonates the land starts to slowly strip the Witcher of his reason.
A chance encounter by the hand of Destiny thrusts the White Wolf deep within the ancient forest. There resides a crumbling temple to an eerie, forgotten God...

|| Coming cold, the Winter whispers of dark secrets in the night. The haze of ice and snow crystalises the moth's wings in the chilled air. All is quiet as the world prepares itself to sleep. A day, a week, a month.... Until the first kiss of Spring. And I remember you. ||
