Habits

A good friend and I both have this thing where we convince ourselves for as long as possible that we have no interest in a guy, even if we do. I find it amusing and that's where I got the idea for this.

They say that habits form over a period 

of time like mountains forming, tree limbs 

growing, canyons widening, and relationships

building, word by word. Sentence to sentence. 

They say that habits can either be good 

or bad. So I convince myself that my 

habitual thoughts of you only exist in order

to build a consistency of  not being attracted. 

They say that repetition is the key to beginning

or breaking a habit and so I repeat to myself 

the words of I don't like you, I won't like you,

I can't like you. Until I am only thinking of you. 

I've Been Away

I've been away from my own thoughts
like one takes a vacation away
from a job. I've been cruising
on the ocean of blank pages
while a waiter named Nothing
handed me fictional lemonades.
Two days ago I returned to find
that there was no welcome home
party. I only found that it takes
work to get back to one's self.

Word of the week:

Aloof. This is my new favorite word.

10th Ave Writer's Pit

We are searching for connections at multiple universities and campuses, so contact me if you are interested!

One step forward...

You know how the saying goes... two steps back. Except in my current state, no steps forward have been made, only backwards. It is during times like these where I should be grasping at any reason to keep going, keep getting an education, continue interacting with the same people daily. But instead, I just want to write a post saying how this week of non-writing is not because I have nothing to write about. Instead, it is because I don't want to think or evaluate myself or humanity long enough to be poetic.
