thoughts upon waking

Excitement,

We are still talking.

And sometimes I count you in my blessings.

This morning I woke with a familiar regret,

If I had not left Melbourne in the first place,

Would life be better now?

I stopped to think about this.… Read the rest

against the grain

Feeling a bit sad.

The idea of literally CHOOSING to walk back into that fire,

Feels pretty wrong on some level.

Fuelled by electronic chocolate and an evocative soundtrack,
