About Me

"Life is supposed to be difficult," he said taking a long swig for his ornate hip flask, "It’s the struggle against the infinite violence of a universe.” I smiled, perhaps he was right or perhaps he was just an asshole making it up as he went along, but the gravity of his remark struck me unexpectedly. The default to life was indeed struggle, for all life not just intelligent life; why would I be exempt. I didn’t care for the man and his insidious gloat of pomposity. Nothing is absolute, nothing certain, which makes the possibilities boundless. The joy of life is making it from one moment to the next through adversity and earning the things the things people say about you when you arrive at your freshly dug grave carried by those you hold dearest.

Spring

It wasn't the smoothest ride but they were the happiest they’d ever been. 

The type of happy that’s tangible, real, a pronounced state of being. 

The tires crackled under the bright sunlight and the engine hummed along the coast. 

Spring had sprung with the undeniable beauty of rebirth. 

They had found love, the type of love that lasted a lifetime, here in this blossoming place and they would stop only to make love in the sand like it was their very first time.

Here and now nothing mattered; the dead-end jobs, the disappointments, the pain, the insecurities, drifted away in this place. They were free.
