"What else should our lives be but a continual series of beginnings, of painful settings out into the unknown, pushing off from the edges of consciousness into the mystery of what we have not yet become, except in dreams that blow in from out there bearing the fragrance of islands we have not yet sighted in our waking hours, as in voyaging sometimes the first blossoming branches of our next landfall come bumping against the keel, even in the dark, whole days before the real land rises to meet us."
- David Malouf, "An Imaginary Life"

The rain was ceaseless and the days were dreary, yet I missed it when it had gone

"Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!"

— J.R.R. Tolkien,
"The Fellowship of the Ring"

I will massacre all the perpetrators that ruined me.

The monsters that stripped away what was left of my dignity and spirit.

My innocence now proudly adorns those demons like wartime banners flying high beyond the mast for everyone to see.

My hope and my potential was stolen to decorate their flagship.

That tiny slice of good inside of me that they ruthlessly stole.

They will pay dearly once my darkness turns its focus and narrows in on their position.

My fury is so black and unable to maintain its tenuous cohesion.

Chaos is only a Theory.
