How many emotions

did I hold back

just to prove

everyone, anybody

that I'm alright.

So I was listening to We Don’t Talk About Bruno with my headphones in and I noticed something. So obviously everyone repeats their verses at the end of the song but usually I can only make out Pepa, Camilo, and Isabela. While Dolores is drowned out. However, she too is singing you can make her out when she says: betrothed to another. However, I also noticed that she along with Isabela sings: And I’m fine, I am fine, yes I’m fine, I am fine; before Everyone calls out: he’s here!

It’s a blink and you miss it detail that’s really interesting. Especially if you were to put the lyrics into prose. It’s also a significant call back to Waiting on a Miracle when Mirabel says she’s fine before admitting she’s not fine. Another crack hiding Under the Surface. 😏

My sleep is disturbed by the tiny beasts,

who devour the scraps of memories that reside in my mind.

My feet burn endlessly,

and as they char my past to perfection (it makes it easy on their digestion),

i am unable to run or escape,

and they singe them all thru the night.

A Fathers Day Poem I Wrote For My Dad:

You reach out a hand when I’m too proud to ask

Yours is the smile I think of when I feel alone in the dark

You guide me and love me in your own special way

It took me some time to notice all of this

But now all of a sudden it’s as clear as day

I guess you got it from that song we used to sing

“The answer my friend is written in the wind” lol

I will always love you

I will always need you

Because a little girl will always need her fathers famous hugs

I will always call you

I will always miss you

Because even in my 20s I will always count on your advice and wisdom

I realise I don’t tell you enough as I should

But I love you forever and more if I could

So Happy Father’s Day to the strongest dad in the world

I love you

Love one of your baby girls xx

40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

Just meet me in

the Orion's belt

in where we can

both lose ourselves

together. Dazed,

heart racing, filled

with euphoria as we

float endlessly

through the whole

cosmic process.
