inane ramblings

Lately I have been over taken by a strange urge to high five a sloth. In truth I cannot explain this at least with any sense of legitimacy. I just feel like it needs to happen. When it does it will be like me building a bridge. Across species? Maybe a class or phylum? I have not taken biology so i don't know jack about this hierarchy of life business. I also feel like sloths can teach us more than we can teach them Like our lives are so fast paced like a race and we are struggling to get to a finish line That doesn't exist... Sloths are like slow the fuck down... It'll be okay... You'll get there... I promise. I kinda think i need that in my life. A person... or a sloth... to just tell me it'll be alright. I try and be that for so many other people But I'm constantly losing my shit on the inside. Like most of the time I'm fine I can manage life But that fear of dying alone unloved It's always there In the back of my mind That can get the upper hand if my guard is down... That shit scares me... It's an irrational fear I know that I am loved by many I got buckets of love in this bitch makin the Cosby's blush with all this love. But still this emptiness persist... like i am incomplete on some level Like i have to fix myself But I know on a conscious level that.. I am enough. But on some other level I don't fully believe this... And I need someone to tell me this... I need to highfive a sloth...
