some poetry
Desiderata

1927 Max Erhmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

hey there wheat basket how you doing you fat fucking piece of shit, I hate your guts more than anything in the world and I can’t sing and there’s no reason to be upset like that. fuck her, seriously, I mean it. because I can’t stand feeling like this anymore. and it’s a horrible situation when you can’t understand the way that people act and it’s not okay. but all will be over tomorrow when the sun rises because all worldly truth can be found in the light of the sun. it’s the way things roll and sometimes I feel like I’ve found the secret of life in the morning light. all violence turns to love. all freedom breeds jealousy and maybe jealousy isn’t the worst thing in the world anyway. I mean it’s pointless, of course. but maybe it’s not SO pointless that nobody understands why it’s there. everything happens for a reason. everything happens for a reason. everything happens for a reason. and I’m not so sure anymore that bad things happen as an example of what not to do. I think they exist for examples of what you can do.

I don’t believe in God anymore and sometimes that makes me so happy to say and sometimes it scares me to the deepest core of my soul. Because without God man is nothing, which is the worst feeling. But maybe I’m starting to believe that it’s actually the best feeling ever. To be empty means that you are completely lost and the only thing you have left is you. When you are all there is, you have nothing but you to rely on and you can finally start pulling yourself back up the hill to realize that God was waiting for you all the time. He was never gone. And he’ll never be gone. But why is emptiness so valid anyway. It is depressing. But there’s a joy in being sad like that. There is a JOY in BEING SAD and there is no explanation for it. There is also a joy in being joyous too. Even if you have to cheat to get it, you still found a way to get it. Drugs or love or sex or religion or even discipline; you still cheated somehow to get there. You did it the easiest way you can do it because that is how people roll. They’re supposed to. They’re suppose to do things the easy way because what is the point of doing anything the hard way when you can have it laid all out for you? Calculated magic is something I used to be so terrified of but there’s no reason for that either. Everything I’ve ever had a reason for has gone away, or the reason has died anyway. Reasons die because the universal truth is only true as long as we believe it. But it’s a living being just like you and me and it changes just like you and me and we are powerless to stop it in its tracks.

She will thank you later for it whether she admits it or not. I am so jealous of you and Kelly sometimes, Dave Bucknor. You guys need each other like I’ve never known any other person to be attached someone else. And that makes me jealous sometimes because while I’m enjoying being single, I’m also enjoying your joy through you. I know, it’s cheating, but I just talked about cheating just a second ago and nobody is going to disagree with me at that point.

I’m sorry you’re feeling sad about being sad. And I could answer your problems if you’d give me what I want. Or maybe I’d just use you like everyone else wants to because you act like you want to be used.

Wow
You used to seem so happy. Also, it's not good to need somebody, because if you lost that somebody then what would you do without them? Feel lucky that you're no relying on or needing anyone but yourself, don't envy that person who relies on someone else for their happiness.
