There's not a lot I have to say, because what am I supposed to say? I have been fading out of touch with pretty much everything, but not out of mind. Many things plague my small existence, that includes drawing less, talking less, eating less, pretty much less of everything I can think of. I am not who I used to be. To think one year ago I hit a peak. Now comes the valley. I don't know what's wrong, just that I wish that I could fix it. I'm not sure if I can do it on my own. And yet here I am, trying to do everything myself. I guess that's just part of growing up. Even after twenty-two years, all that I have seen feels like it was all for nothing. If could go out in the street and scream to the stars about how much I hate what I've done for the world, I would. But knowing me, don't count on it. I am not a happy person. Unlike many of you nice folks, I haven't a single friend. Anymore. I used to. But my definition of a friend has changed, and the is no one I know that fits that description. What does that mean? Not a thing. The more I try to understand it, the worse it feels. I guess it's better not to know, right? But I'm human, I must know. It's part of my nature, as it is for everyone else. Curiosity and fear sometimes become the same thing, and then everything suddenly real. Then that's when I have to wake up.

and it will never leave your side, even when you want it to
it will never be alright

Maybe the eclipse changed me, but I do feel better. Viewing a solar eclipse in person was an amazing moment. It's a shame I didn't see it with a larger gathering of people, but a group of strangers witnessing the same rare celestial event in the middle of nowhere gave me some perspective. I am disappointed in myself that I spent more time looking through my camera than looking at it with my own eyes. I may have botched this viewing experience by looking at the wrong place, but at least the journey was worth it. I really really really wished I had just put the camera down and watched. No amount of quiet obsessing could prepare me for a moving

As much as I would like not to be a person so empty of purpose, I don't get to chose what I wish for. For many, spending a lifetime in content and acceptance with the occasional obstacle is their core story. It pains me to know I'm not heading down that same road, or even that I'm on a road to begin with. You, like most, have what you need, who you love, and what is most important to you. It's funny to me that everyone is the same. Without exception. While you hold the goods, the fellows, and the memories, all I am is a waste. Keep what you have and cherish the rest. Don't throw that away, but if you must, throw it on me, maybe it'll become s
