I sit in the quiet room.
Where the walls hold the weight of my thoughts.
The air hums softly with things I can’t say,
And the shadows move around memories I haven’t claimed.
Every breath outlines the edge of my loneliness.
Every sigh leaves a trace on the silence.
No one comes in, no one interrupts this place.
And in its peace, I am completely myself.
The world outside may shout and ask for more.
But here, time slows down to hear me.
A quiet music plays just for me.
A song of being, wild and hidden.

Should We Not Try to Get Too Political?
Here's something you often hear people say, "I try not to get too political." I understand the sentiment and I sympathize with it... while at the same exact time, I completely disagree with the notion. Whether it's referring to social media or wherever, it's kind of unavoidable. You can attempt to sidestep it, not engage, leave the less important things for actual politicians to discuss... you can want it to not take over your life, your conversations, your relationships, and that makes perfect sense.
