A Poem: The Forest Black Roots

Irrelevant thoughts exposed in the breaths that pass.

A Poem: The Forest Black Roots

There are times where our inner sight

goes forest black.

Where there is no direct path to which we step...

eventually, we locate our true self.

We understand where we thrive and where we feel most at home.

This is our place...

our place to take a breath.

The lingering thoughts around no longer matter.

Irrelevant thoughts share no home with who YOU are.

Fuck irrelevancy.

Sharing the interlocked path with the stranger who mirrors your intent is welcomed, it becomes your strength.

The irrelevant negativity that grows from the roots of the forest black tress, blossoms into the light that we need in order to consume happiness.

We will trip over these emerging roots, however, this is not the intent.

The intent is to get back on our path,

to unfold from within,

to understand that these strangers that walk by all have a purpose, they all feel what you feel;

the exposure of their breath as they connect

to your side

slips past your neck.

Don't be fooled by the false darkness that

slithers and hides

between the crevices of the roots...

it is irrelevant.

STRIVE
IN 
THE
LIGHT


Much love,

XOXO

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
