that's better.































sometimes drowning out your thoughts is the only way.



































not a good way.

































but it helps sometimes.



































take a deep breath.































close your eyes as you exhale.


































relax your shoulders. unclench your jaw.


































when the earth was just stardust, we were there. pieces of atoms.


































take another breath.



































each lungful of air contains thousands of tiny pieces. puzzles.





























feel the skin on your palm. every line, every pattern.
































faulty stardust.






























when the earth is dust again, i hope we'll be like we were at the beginning.





























there's one thing i've always known.






































in the beginning, we were together.
