Pandora's Box

Everything that has a beginning has an end.
And so it is, that everything that has an end, must begin again.

But what about something that never had a beginning,
Because you never gave it a chance?

Intervention

Surrounded by darkness.
That's where the best people find themselves.

It doesnt do well to hope that you'll change when you wake up. It takes facing the unknown, where anything can happen - anytime and anywhere - to truly change.

Because to change completely requires you to break down what you know and build it back up again in a new way. And if you're not prepared for that, then there's no chance of it happening at all.

Agoraphobia

We're all telling ourselves to never be trapped in boxes.
To break out of the mould,
Break free.

But how is it that we can't even cross the lines?
White, yellow, red painted lines on the ground.
We were never 3D to begin with.
Perhaps everything is mapped out for us after all.

Welcome to life and its eternally line-defined rule.

Plausable Deniability

Driving by the place I shared my first kiss;

Jesus Christ I miss you.

Insight

Repeat after me: I am free.

But you're not.
You're not free.
How could you be?

That's the hard part.
But I'll give you a hint;
Go on and do it,
Break through it all,
And I'll meet you on the other side.

Trainspotting

Morning train rides, stuck with people I'm not going to remember in a few minutes.
I can't help but indulge in some fantasy of heroes and villains.

Which one of us woke up choosing to be the villain today?

It's a simple choice really.
But it's one we have to make every morning.

Cloud Watching

I don't know where you came from.
I don't know what you've seen.
I don't know what your story is.
I don't know how you got here.

But right now you're in my world,
stunning and beautiful in your entirety.

I don't know how long I'll have you,
And I don't care.
Just let me remember this moment please?


-Oedipus
