At the Rind

Tell me what a normal brain thinks about, and I will do my best. I will take the right trains, I will find the right stops, I will travel from point A to point B and shun the wild wending ways in between. I will give up this mantle of my creation, accept a machine-washable uniform cut from the same cloth as generations before me who laid their dreams to sleep in the blood and bones of the children that would follow them. I am not the sinner or the saint, just some middling human who didn't know any better and I am tired, I am just so tired.

Don't Think About Tomorrow

They take one look and they scream, they cry, they stamp their feet and beg, so with hands made of bone, you grab the edges of yourself and you pull, struggle into the resisting flesh and the smile you pinch your lips into is just enough to make them leave. Thank god. You can take it off now.

To anyone that has read through my journals throughout the years, anyone that was witness to my trials and triumphs, anyone that has been with me long enough to remember how obsessed I was with ellipses (come on, we were all young writers at some point) if those same people are reading this right now, I'd like to say... Hello. C: How are you? Hope you've been well. To those of you that are reading this and you're fairly new to me, my journals, or my writing, I'd like to say welcome! What are doing here? Glad to have you. :D I told someone recently that DeviantArt is my home, that as often as I spend time away from it, I always find my way ba

You Can Do It

When I hear people say, You can do it what I hear is, You are on your own. People say, You can do it and I hear, I won't help you. People say, You can do it and all I hear is, No one cares. People wonder why I don't ask for help when I've been turned aside my entire life under the guise of "encouragement": All that you need is your own two hands and what you've got inside of you, YOU CAN DO IT, ATTAGIRL So you stumble back, nod several times, eyes glossed over, mumble 'thanks anyway' and just move on— keep walking, keep searching; keep clutching this broken thing close to your chest, just waiting for someone that will

My mother used to ask me, if all my friends jumped off a bridge, would I jump off too? Teenage rebellion often prompted me to answer to the negative in the weak but fervent attempt to assert my individualism. I was so certain that if the stream was flowing one way, I’d be swimming against the current , to the awe and consternation of the crowd. If my mother asked me that question today, I would say yes. I would follow them right over the edge. ------------ A coworker of mine recently took his life. He took his dog to a no-kill shelter, carried himself and his gun into the woods, and killed himself. I didn’t know his favorite

How to get better at art more effectively.

I’ve recently finished a course on learning how to learn https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn and one of its lessons was to teach others, because it’s not until you have to explain it to someone else that you have a truly deep understanding of the material. So this is what I took away from the course, I hope that this will be useful to someone. 1/ More Often, not longer or last minute. Do you have a limited time to study art? It’s much better to spend 5 minutes /every/ day doing some of the following steps, than it is to cram 35 mins in at the end of the week. Spaced daily repetition makes
