Disclosure

Is it really possible to write something without giving yourself away?
One might say that the purpose of an opinion piece is to express yourself, and that essentially entails giving away a part of yourself.

To that I say, I am not concerned with what I am explicitly trying to say in the text, but with the unintentional underlying giveaway.

I complete a piece and re-read it and there it is, staring me in the face, things I had no intention of expressing and yet I have, as a subtext. 

This makes me wonder, if it is possible for any piece of writing to be completely independent of the author, even if it is a fictional piece?

A Fear

I had a fear that kept me up at night
That I would stay still
And life would pass by
So now it has come to this
For what is life, but time?
I am still, and the time passes by..

The waves

Book written in style of 'stream of consciousness'. More like filled with over thinking, over analyzing. It's beautiful in the start but then after 170 pages you just want to scream 'shut up already'. 

well Woolf's a genius... Maybe that's the problem.. a downside to genius, that they bear the burden of the non existent.

What's left

The surroundings that consume me fade away at a point,
What's left,
Is too daunting to be felt.

The World

The world dances to it's own tunes and ,
I for one cannot expect it to match my rhythm.



The most important ingredient in cooking

 Patience...
