No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.

About Me

You never knew why you felt so good in the strangest of places.
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late and mall parking lots on holidays.

There are no bad words for the coast today.
When we hold our breath until nothing's left it all starts to fade.

We can see the stars from where the birds make their homes staring back at us.
Indifferent but distanced perfectly projected endlessly-
It's so fucking beautiful.

There are no bad words for the coast today.

Rest in peace.


Today is the day I realized that I could be loved. It echoed though the park last night- "He wasn't our son, he belonged to everyone."And this loss isn't good enough for sorrow or inspiration. It's such a loss for the good guys, afraid of this life, that it just is. 'Cause everybody dies.
