Mortality rides upon my shoulders
Whispers words of doubt into my ears
It has taken from me precious moments
With the blink of an eye turned them to years
Tearing at the cracks in my memories
Revealing my deepest desires and fears
Confusing fantasy with reality
And turning happiness to sorrowed tears

Nothing is immortal
Educación, reflexiones y cultura general.
Life is a patchwork of moments — laughter, solitude, everyday joys, and quiet aches. Through scribbled stories, I explore travels both far and inward, from sunrise over unfamiliar streets to the comfort of home. This is life as I see it, captured in ink and memory. Stick around; let's wander together.

A good way to say it. Sounds melancholy, but it’s how it feels to live it.

The older you get the faster they go by. This is why I say, “slow down and enjoy each minute” Thanks, and many hugs back.
