we keep changing the names of things as if better semantics will help us change our nature but whether you call it emotion overflowing reason the furies awakening having one's buttons pushed or getting triggered the human condition remains unadulterated pure its essence stubbornly bare
i used hate the way i would be awake at four in the morning. i remember the way everything used to feel so haunting and scary. there were no words to describe how deep inside my mind i would sink into, scared and afraid of no return.
but now, oh now, i love it. i fell in love with the quiet. there was no more worry or fear.
