I saw a fish truck.
It was weird as fuck.
There was a picture on it in which the #victim became the perpetrator.

You see that often on trucks that transport animals; dead or alive. For example, a piglet wearing a chef's hat and holding a knife.
Peculiar, this personification, while on the other hand you want to pretend that they are animals that are very different from us; have no feelings; no value. And therefore can be eaten without remorse.

✮ Blinker ✮

We spend so much time blinking and looking away,
we blink so much that we don’t realize our fuse is alight.
A turn of the dial,
into another scene,
never rooted in the moment,
as transient as everything mortal.
We blink, to erase the unpleasant,
we blink, to jump forward,
coil our bodies around rest,
wrap paychecks inside our hands,
so, we can blink a little more.
We skip and jump out of the day,
when tomorrow is worse than today,
we blink it away,
as if we have unlimited blinks,
and soon enough we’ll hit a wall
and wish we could have kept our eyes open
more frequently.

Here today; gone tomorrow, never take anything for granted.

When complaining about long walks, someone is dreaming of having such luxury. Walks that people take for granted mean everything to someone else who is bound by a condition that prevents them from doing so. They could be bedridden; they could be hiding in fear in a war zone; they could be impeded by physical conditions that limit them.

You complain about tidying up. It’s because you have a home. You stress out over traffic. It’s because you have a car. You can’t deal with the noise. You have a family. Someone out there wants what you have but can only dream of it.

When frowning in dissatisfaction over a prepared meal, think about that person who took time and poured every ounce of their heart, hoping to bring you happiness. Think.

Be grateful that you are in school; not everyone is afforded such an opportunity. Not as a promise to secure a job, but to learn. Bitterness often comes from discounting what people already have. Contentment, as they say, is the key to happiness. Dream, but be forgiving. If it’s yours, it will come to fruition. If not, steady your heart and live with what you have.

Never neglect people or things that add, give, and bring value to your life. Blessed are those who can’t count how many people they love with their fingers. If you do, you’re already rich. Hurray! You will have someone to turn to.

At the end of the day, when all that you take for granted is gone, what will be left of you?

A cheap stick with a hat on it to protect you from the rain — it’s a piece of junk. But in the downpour, this piece of junk makes me feel like an emperor in the rain.

LOST AND FOUND
A reflection on stewardship, value, and responsibility

Some things slip from our hands without notice. Turning back isn’t weakness—it’s awareness. Often, what we retrieve teaches more than what we lost.

Survival Manual for Living with a Properly Educated Italian

My mother-in-law doesn’t give advice. She drafts constitutions. Sheets must be changed exactly the right number of times, pasta must be weighed, cold is a matter of opinion—and control is a lifestyle.
Then came socks. Bronchitis. And a cat.
A gentle collapse of perfect order, fur included.
