How'd you lose your love for the leaves?

.Love Life.

About Me

Stares that fall out of the eyes of strangers are lost beneath their shadows that they always seem to lose their footing on. Observing their acts of silent yet shameless criticism leaves a taste in my mouth bitter and lifeless, I throw around the idea that it might hold a common thread to what a shadow would taste like. In one fell swoop I swallow those jagged pieces of the meticulous observers realities that briefly touched the surface of my own, never quite managing to satisfying times ever-hungry appetite. Every interaction seems to give a touch of grace in finding my footing on the lineages tight rope, as I stand to blame the imbalance on myself because I've yet to discover the method to the madness of remaining still. We pay homage, with searching through the past and breathing life into future as we exhale our imaginations. I shed tears for us who get too far lost in either direction, hoping to find a path back to the present with fluid motion.

My Interests

Writing, emceeing, painting, spending time with those I love, creativity of any kind, dancing, reading, studying philosophy, hearing the philosophies of others, crosswords, playing piano, singing, taking pictures, drawing, making collages out of nothing, watching the world pass by, learning that i have things in common with strangers, staring at the stars, nature of every kind, looking at the world as art, finding feeling in the art I see, studying the meaning of peoples expressions, the adventure that comes with late nights, sleep.

I'd like to meet:

Someone relaxed enough to remember what they dreamt about last night
