Scrambled Ramblings

I hate that I love being in love. 

I hope I win the lottery. 
I love giving people money so I know
that every dollar I give for someone to live 
will cause change in two ways. 

I am so tired all the time because I feel like 
I've been alive for so long. 

Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. 
It is self generated and self perpetuated. 
It is the enemy within. 
I no longer want to hold anything back. 

I am afraid of dying only because 
I haven't said everything I want say. 

My brain never shuts up. I don't know
whether to gag it or give it a microphone. 

I hope I have days where my inner peace
is so strong someone else can grab a 
piece and borrow some. 

Love is the secret you can't wait to tell everyone.

I really appreciate existential writing. And so, far from "scrambled" ramblings, these are very interesting mind-spawn Mindy! Keep on rambling~
