The tender age of twenty-six (or perhaps 62 or 16?)

Loosing a parent at seventeen made me both an old lady and a big baby. At the same time. You can't put your life on hold or save it up for later. That is not how it works, my friend. We need to have fun, take things seriously, eat well, do good to others and enjoy ourselves. At the same time.

If you think not speaking your opinion or attempting to be a drought more so than a flood, and thinking this will make me see you, like you and appreciate your company you are mistaken. Yes, we are centers of our own universes, and sometimes lonely or afraid of those creepy black holes, but that doesn't mean we're the only ones out there. Put your galaxy on the map, and educate us on the theme of you. You're probably not less interesting than the rest of us. Who would have ever thought that one by the name of "The Milky Way" would be so damn fun?

I love you and you and you, but sometimes you piss me off. At the same time.

Ol' Death

I sometimes tell insects that I'm sorry. I will tell the bug the truth, and sometimes the truth is that it was sitting in wet paint. I tell myself that it is better for it to go fast, rather than letting the poor thing go slowly by itself. Maybe it's in an insect's melancholic nature to sit down in wet paint and wait to die. It may be the reason we call them bugs; that they tend to bug themselves to death. (But still I'm sorry.)

If you had only given your cats anti-contraceptives you wouldn't have to kill those precious kittens. Don't be mean if you don't want to be left. I didn't like it when you aimed the wheels at the frogs on the road that evening, like they were hundreds of newly blown bubbles. I wish none of you had to support any forces and be so very proud of them - the limbless, dead and mentally traumatized. Had you not been so goddamn moody I might have liked you even more.

Sometimes I have thoughts of what life would be like if people in general preferred to agree, find solutions and get along instead of having to discuss everything, arguing over things and distancing themselves from each other. Please, just have some ice-cream and try for once losing the battle and be happy about it - we might win the war together.
