Quote Post
They keep you alive for reasons unknown, they lie often and memories have abandoned you. They took your brain because they knew you enjoyed throwing yourself in creative thought. You didn’t survive, but they found a way to hack into your soul. You have no smile; they erased this beautiful trait of yours and instead replaced it with sadness. They left your heart so you can feel torture. In this moment the monsters are not so different than you and I, but there is something rotten in this world when they keep you alive, when you’re already dead.

It feels like I’m losing my mind and something oblique is going on. I’m doing things twice; I don’t recall the past or what happened on the weekend. One day it’s just going to be like being swept away by falling rubble, crushing my thoughts and suffocating my memories. After the relentless rampage has found calm, everything will be destroyed, the debris with silently fill my lungs and I will be left there without pain, but a decaying corpse, helpless and a reflection of a wasted, sad life. It’s a process, alas, some get there faster than others.

finding words

Don’t forget words when words never seem to forget you.

When you need to write a letter, the words will lay bare on paper.

When you’re called to give a speech, words will entertain your audience.

When remembering your friend who has passed away on their anniversary, words will fill your heart.

You may not be a wordsmith, you may not be a wandering poet, and you don’t really need to be anything at all to use words.

You don’t need to be educated; you don’t need to be famous to change the world with an ink drop of a pen or multiple presses on a keyboard.

You don’t need a reason to make someone smile with your words. You can take them to worlds that don’t exist. You can create what isn’t there and you can climb a ladder to imaginary heights.

If you’re finding it difficult to find words, you don’t need to worry, if you don’t forget them, the words will find you.

All these words are fading faster than I can say them. I can’t help it!

It didn’t have to end this way. Closing doors, pretenders and deception, you wake up defenceless and the cold outside feels welcoming. You smile at the mirror to know that you’re still able to give one. You wanted a sign, something to tell you that you can still live a life that’s truly remarkable. Being alone and the fear to carry on is overbearing and it’s a heavy burden for you. Your blanket is surrounding you as you walk the nights; you hold the ends tightly, as if you were yearning for hands to hold on to.

They can make you feel owned without having a say. They can take your freedom by playing the game. If you manage to run away, when you’re feeling empty and with heavy arteries, you will be forced to live a life of misery. You’re a modern slave, overwhelmed by the rising wave and working until your grave. You hide your pride and close your mouth, you’re far from proud when you’re one in the crowd.

What if we were a hiccup of magic dust from the stars that life formed here was a mere fluke? If we are the first life forms in The Universe and truly a rare recipe that has never been cooked again, are we genuinely alone? If our world ended, will space be an empty canvas left unparalleled to paint the darkness by masterstrokes of celestial bodies? If there’s no one alive to see this wonderland, will space be a godforsaken desert left unaccompanied to expand for all eternity with nobody to talk to?

Blinded by whispers, some whispers cleverly designed by your consciousness that you refused to hear anything else. Real truths started to disappear and fake events in time replaced what you really knew. Your eyes showed you many lies and in your mind, you created a world that was only true to you. You thought it was better to believe a lie made by yourself than to believe lies fed to you by strangers.

Crossing the Stars - Notes from Crane Collins’s CellarI’m starting a new series of images of creative spills and doodles on a notebook that I will create from time to time. I have named the series Notes from Crane Collins’s Cellar. Crane Collins isn’t a real person, as far as I’m aware of anyway. If you happen to be Crane Collins, this series is in no way related to you and if the creative spills and doodles resemble any part of your life (I don’t suppose you will be jumping on Mars anytime soon), it is merely just a series of coincidences. Enjoy ladies and gentleman.
