The Ever Turning Wheel

On how it all seems meaningless

The Ever Turning Wheel

As I turn back to these pages again

It feels like I'm never gonna ascend.

Trapped in an ever turning wheel

Constantly speaking; but is any of it real?

Do these words ever capture how I truly feel?

Why am I rhyming?

Is it just how I felt like whining?

Really it's an experiment

Hopefully one I will not lament.

Everybody says vary your style

but this feels so forced like a child

Who has been forced into this world

Pursuing worthless task until he wants to curl

Up and just stop, rewind the days back

To when the most complicated thing was a snack.

Glad I got that out of my system. Endless positivity is more unsustainable than fossil fuels. And just like the fossil fuels, I'll keep using it until something better comes along. I really do love writing and math and philosophy and learning, but some days it feels like I'm. Just screaming up at the void. You just ask yourself, “What's the point?” Oddly enough that this feeling decided to appear at this time. It's too early for me to have failed my resolutions, not to mention I didn't have any.

Yet I'm left distraught

Burdened by a single thought

That it's all meaningless

And that I should dream less

And probably just try less

Man this is just a fine mess.

Honestly if the notion to continuously advance forward wasn't pounded like a nail into my skull. Ugh. I'd be just laying in bed waiting for oblivion to get me, or all those midnight mac and cheeses. How do you guys feel when you're in a rut? I imagine like you're in a rut. Really this is just a losing battle. My words are meaningless because my opinions are meaningless and one day we will all die probably before the sun swallows Earth. Yep just call it a day because we won't always have them.

But isn't that expiration date what gives all of this value? Knowing that our days are numbered keeps their value from inflating, which is a godsend in this economy. It's the brevity of a good time that inspires rarity. And that is how I'll find my serenity. Because we should take solace in that everything is meaningless. Now we have a canvas to create and derive our own meanings. That's wonderfully brilliant and is what will give us the chance to make every other day even better. Just like how clouds roll in, then leave with the weather.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
