A Letter from SuperEgo
Dear You,
Hey, how's it going? Keeping up with the news lately? Crazy world we live in, not too many people living. It never made sense to me, I know it confuses you too. The things that people are willing to do, destroying themselves for pleasure, ambition, material possession, is sickening, and maddening even. The general population is looking for something or someone to blame, while they themselves are the cause of this social entropy.
There are plenty of reasons to hate people, I know your thoughts. You're like a child that still believes in the good fight, heroes and virtue, and look where you're at now.
How many wonderlands have we d
Dear Self,
Alright, what's the deal? Just because schools over doesn't mean that things is going to be easy. The IRS is going to be knocking while you're hoping and waiting for a miracle. That feeling in your chest, that sensation is the closest thing to dread that you'll ever feel.
I'm not trying to worry or discourage you, because when you win, we all win. It's alright to have dreams and aspirations, but they don't pay the bills, they are only possibilities to burden on chance.
Sincerely, your only best friend.

What to Get and How to Gain

What I Really Want...
What could I possibly want? Out of all the things that society and "mentors" believe that I should want, I could leave it all behind honestly. Money and shinny metals have limited values, but an experience, a memory, those are eternal. Want I want, is to walk across a field of green pastures. An endless field of lush green grass, a partially cloudy day where you can smell the hint of forthcoming rain, and birds singing their songs about nothing from tree to tree. It doesn't matter where I go in this vast field, with the warm winds at my back, it could take me anywhere. I wonder how long the world will stay green?

Wonderings that lead me nowhere.
How fast time can tick by from just laying in the dark of my bed? I use to aspire to do nothing more or less than to wake up early in the morning, play video games until two in the morning, and then sleep the rest of the morning away to repeat this cycle all over again. Now, I just lay there, on my back stating at the ceiling and checking the time periodically. On my good days, I would run for an hour or two then retire back to my bed to daydream, since I hardly dream naturally. I don't know what it is, apathy? Depression? Existential exhaustion? I've been on the journey of questioning everything that life claims to be and what people aspire

Celebrate the natural.
What woes could we have to mourn? Our own mortality could be the best reason to mourn. Without the understanding our genesis and revelation, there is nothing but the norm to mourn. Birth brings promise of renewal and progression. Youth is envied and celebrated. Death bring fear and mourning. The old are forgotten, shunned, neglected, and hated. What is natural in this cycle is perverted and twisted into serving our selfish desires. We see that our eyes want and we find the means to take it, by any means necessary. When we see something precious, something that adds to the beauty of your soul, one would want to capture it. But to uproot what i

Probably when the sun checked out for the day.
"When did the world get so dark?"
Probably when you decided to be an adult at such a young age.
"When did the world get so loud?"
Probably when you tried to fit in with the crowd.
"When did the world get so loud?"
Probably when you decided to suffocate yourself in questions you have no answers for.
"When did the world get so foul?"
Probably when you decided to be adventurous and try new things.
"When did the world get so foul?"
Probably when you stopped trying to save the world and began trying to save humanity.
"When did the world get so quite?"

I saw a demon in my room today
It's been years since I've seen his face
Look how low I had to sink
To meet him again
I only see him clearly when I'm lost
Thoughts swirling around too quickly
Holding on too tightly to my past
What does that make me?
I'm a monster hiding in human flesh
The demon is always here to remind me
I don't belong and I'll never feel right
So why even try to fit in?
My heart pounding as I reach out
The demon watches while I fail to touch him
It's his turn to reach now
And this time, I feel him
He who stands before me
Is not truly a demon at all
He's the closest thing to an angel
That I will ever meet

I am sick and tired of all the lying
And sick and tired of all the crying
But people don't care
And life is not fair
So I turn off my emotions
Stuck inside slow motion
Everything is falling apart
But I put chains around my heart
I don't feel anything
I am just a puppet on a string
Just an emotionless doll
I got rid of it all
There, in front of me are the tools that can sever the filth of evil from my being. The shield, armor, and sword of my faith laying in arm's length, but so far away, for I am weary. Enemies varying in ranks of repulsiveness and arts of seduction, deception, destruction, and histories of the grand betrayal surrounds me. I lay on my side, one arm nearest to the ground, outstretched, the tools of my faith within inches of my fingertips. My other hand lies in front of me, like a deceased spider. Forever in the moment of approaching enemies of darkness, or is this just the moment where one earthly second equates to an eternity near the gates o
I just got done finishing testing the difference between the monetization, downloading literature and downloading images. It seems that images jpg are easier to sell than selling docx. Shoot me a note please, my ignorance needs to be cured.
The last 24 hours was insane. All I remember doing differently was giving a critique and continuously replying back to a new treasured friend of mine. Other than that, I submitted a three sentence story about just having a chance to be near someone. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually. I'm working on releasing a horror story of the nightmares I remember having. Just a few more pages and I end up typing in another direction entirely. I would like to submit more horror themed stories. As for my main story, there is so much that I could do with it, but I only have one mind and ten fingers, woe is me.
Where does inspiration come from and where should it go? I just have to start submitting more stuff if I want things to start happening. Other than that, I have no idea how to get my work out there. Right now I can't even touch my main story because it's been so long but I love my characters as if they are my own daughters. Guess that just shows just how well of a father I'll turn out to be huh? Well, these shorts are just what I think about constantly. Stories like these play out in my mind to make sense of this world and its quirks. Nearly everything is a quirk to me, nothing makes sense, but I'm going about it day by day, that's all what a
