leaving my house again, my boyfriend got me netflix weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
Stoned again, late with my lover. It attracts us like no other. It’s time, you can’t stay, I’ll see you tomorrow. I always do. I go to sleep with my teeth dry through my love stained lips. I wake the same way. I don’t need you here to make me feel the way I feel. I don’t need you at all, but having you around sure is nice. I always like being alone, but sometimes I like being alone with you.
Last night, I decided, and I told you, I’m in love, maybe it’s partly because of you, but I’m not in love with just you, if I am in love with you, whatever that means. I’m in love with waking up, and going to sleep, and everything in between.
A Self-Portrait of Opportunity
I want you to stop and think about something. This is a picture of another planet. Where this robot is. Right now.
As we sit here on Earth in this or any moment, we each have in our heads a flurry of worries and questions and ideas. And most of them pertain to our own lives. That’s okay, it’s human nature. We are each the center of our own universe.
I often think about this in crowded places, like while in traffic, as the place I’m going is far more important than the place all of these other people are going. I’m convinced that they feel the same way. And so we sit.
But that means that there are seven billion mental universes walking around on this planet. We are staring into them through little digital windows that we carry in our hands, and certain that this decision is the most important decision. Everything that is happening is happening to us.
Yet for the past eight years, there has been a dusty, six-wheeled rover crawling around the surface of Mars, completely alone. Incidentally, that rover has exceeded its expected mission of 90 days by thirty-two times over. That’s admirable, and I can’t help but personify the little guy. Like a sort of scrappy, diligent explorer, quietly working hard for the benefit of someone else. “No complaints, boss!” Like Johnny 5 meets Wall-E.
And so we get images like this, reminding us that every day we can look beyond our personal universe. What a thought! Look at how much is out there. Think of what else we could see! Let’s go.
