whoa hey, i really dig that. reminds me of a poem called 'lightning' by sarah kay. she writes;

Some of us are born chasing disaster.
From the moment we enter this world screaming,
we are looking from lightning,
the raw of our bodies
always searching for clever hands.

mostly thought of the first two lines. the poem is about sylvia plath's err... husband's affair partner. it's dark. but yeah.

also, on another note, a quote i've been dwelling on:

"people are so stupid that they eat even if they are not hungry."
- charles bukowski

no idea if bukowski actually said this but w/e ykno it's deep

omg i actually really like those quotes a lot! and i'm really obsessed with sylvia plath's life and poetry lately so i'm super hyped you mentioned her

also i'm kinda laughing because i was just in the middle of writing you a message responding to your post about ntp's when i saw this

"
we all come from the sea, but we are not all of the sea.
those of us who are,
we children of the tides,
must return to it again and again,
until the day we don't come back
leaving behind only that which was touched along the way.
"
