My path

On purpose (again)

Posted on November 26, 2022 by nomadoftheuniverse

Changes are afoot. I discovered that all my goals were an illusion. They self destructed as soon as I “reached” them (As much as one can reach a mirage in the middle of nothingness). Career success, being a good girl, … Continue reading →

I don’t know what it means That I, it exists before the thought, Before the breath, 3D spliced between zeptoseconds, Between pulsating fractal heartbeats. As someone who has felt spacetime(has been spacetime?),Time does not exist. Mushroom tears. Somehow I remember … Continue reading →
