I am bones of the, branches, the boughs, and brow beating light.
My Self-Summary
"well if I could tame
all of my desires,
wait out the weather
that howls in my brain-
because it seems
that it's always changing:
the wind's indecision,
the sorrowful rain.
What I’m doing with my life
I was a postcard,
I was a record;
I was a camera
until I went blind.
now I am riding
all over this island
looking for something
to open my eyes.
I’m really good at
but I'll sing glory, from my lowest
and I will say thanks
if you're pouring my drinks.
while the world
waits for an explosion:
that instant of light
that wipes the slate clean."

The first things people usually notice about me
I'm usually immediately accused of being quiet.
ALSO I just asked someone, and they said "quiet and sardonic." I
looked up the exact definition, and either they mean I am "bitingly
mocking" OR "alluding to a Sardinian plant which when eaten was
supposed to produce convulsive laughter ending in death." HOPEFULLY
the second one.

The six things I could never do without
* sunlight
* music
* meaningful human connections
* art/ inspiring things/ distractions from despair
* the internet, apparently, judging from my reaction when it breaks
down
* affection.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how I wish people knew what I was thinking.
On a typical Friday night I am
lamenting having to wake up at 7:30 the next morning.
You should message me if
I'm feeling a bit shut down, so I apologize for not currently
