The eye of the storm

A striking spiral formation carved into the heavy clouds overhead

here

when i falter, i don't falter slightly; i fall hard, hard, hard, hard. the spiral doesn't set me lightly, the spiral i can't disregard when the world hits, it hits greatly, it's cold, cold, cold, cold. coworkers wonder what's with me lately, coworkers say i look so old. i wonder before i sleep… read more

Downward Spiral by CZYK

A raw, emotionally charged alternative metalcore track that captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of pain, pressure, and self-doubt with lyrics about losing control, tearing at the seams, and questioning if there’s any escape. Great song

Lechon Pork belly

Philippine famous Lechon Pork Belly Recipe: rub salt and pepper all over the meat part of the belly. I used coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. The trick is to let the salt and pepper stay for 15 to 30 minutes so that the meat can absorb the flavor better. The greenish and dark stuff… read more

The Embrace

How could it be, you were not meant for me? Fingers entwined, a love few could find. For hours we'd stay, forgetting all our dismay. The feel of heart's beat, melding into each other's heat. The days were well spent, I thought you heaven sent. With intentions well meant, every effort well… (edited) read more

Thank you nature for keeping me sane and grounded, especially when I spiral into thoughts about the meaninglessness of life 🙏🙈 (..and yet here I am, on my phone, posting about it online.. Finding peace in nature, yet still depending on technology to exist in the world ✌️🤖)

Chambers hold what pressure taught; the spiral learns to glow anyway. (To go alongside my poem "After the Weather").

🫩

can i spiral into control for once please

Chambers hold what pressure taught; the spiral learns to glow anyway. (To go alongside my poem "After the Weather").

My oldest published poem - I was 14 at the time

It is presented here in an English translation for the very first time: “Under the midnight sun I saw you, daydreaming in my soul. Not even that clear darkness of yours drove me away, Crossing lands and seared mists... Fleeing that faint feeling of freshness, Close to your memory I lived, dying. I… read more

Control

Letting go of control, actively changing my thoughts to see the good in every situation im in, and taking care of things that have been lingering for years, are all giving me a much better and optimistic day to day. All the things i did automatically from anxiety and fear, made life a hell i am… read more

How do you deal with toxic colleagues?

So...I've been dealing with some unpleasant colleagues recently and need some advice. I'm the newest team member (also the youngest) at my job and I've noticed that if anything goes wrong (usually small stuff like misplaced documents etc) it gets blamed on me. I've started to triple check myself… read more

Not getting chosen, sucks.

I end up in this horrible spiral where I put the blame with myself, that I'm not good enough, and never know how to be any better, and because there's no answer to a single question I ask myself in the pursuit of learning from unfavorable outcomes, I end up in the dip of self-loathing, and that… read more

flaming spiral

sometimes the classic color combinations are just too good.

Down to the spiral again

The state where you are aware that you are a capable human being and you feel like you can't do anything is the worst spiral ever.

Time for me to Unmask

I felt nervous about saying it because People will criticize me thinking I’m doing it for attention but I can’t hold it in. I’ve been having Passive Suicidal Thoughts for 7 years because of what happened on Christmas 2017 in which I wanted to tell my friend that I’m autistic but she ended up… (edited) read more

Eviction 😭

Tomorrow I'm facing a potential eviction from my home... I'm struggling to keep my head clear. I don't want to spiral put of control mentally. 🥺 I am not excited for tomorrow.

Though times

Personally feeling really alone tonight. Nightimes are always the hardest. The silence. The lack of routine and having nothing to do. The time for your mind to run and spiral with sadness. I know I'm not the only one though. And there's people out there doing a lot worse. Just gotta be gestle with… read more

Growth Is the Minimum Standard for Healthy, Mutual Effort in My Life

After nearly 39 years of life, I am very clear on what I need in my circle, whether that is friends, partners, or chosen family. I need people with coping skills and communication skills. People who know how to apologize, who know how to repair instead of deflect, and who understand that conflict… read more

Accelerate

One look and I could calculate. The inevitability of fate. Willingly I took the bait. Was it choice? (Was it choice?) The math was clear from day one And the falling's already begun Yet I think I've won? (Have I won?) No point in fighting what I see You're the equation solving me [Chorus] I… read more

Christmas this year was rough

Every Christmas i spend single gets harder and harder, I'm not looking for pity but does anyone have advice on how to cope with those feelings? Because inevitably they make me spiral

Decisions, Decisions

I came to find out that I grew my hair out in response to a depressive spiral that I was inland now that I have gotten to a better place I think I should cut it. Problem is I kinda like the long hair and want to keep it. So the question now is do I cut it and leave it in the past or do I keep it as… read more

It might seem stupid, but saying why you unmatch before unmatching is really appreciated.

That being said, unmatch directly as you do not want it to spiral into an argumention or/and justification.

✨ You’re Not Waiting for the Light — You Are the Light

What if the Messiah was never meant to be someone we wait for, but rather a symbol of something we awaken within? We spend so much time looking outward-waiting for a savior, a sign, a moment-when the real transformation begins the moment we look inward. The Messiah, in this light, isn't a figure… read more

Do Photons Dream of Time?

Crystaline moments fractal, splinter Like a spiral spinning down While linear limits dissolve to quantum crowns A temporal paradox makes particles dance They're infinite bound Past and present's compression, the future's a compound Mathematics of my memories multiply, divide, then scatter… read more

Saturday - productive day vs Rot day

Is anyone having a productive Saturday? I’m caught between starting a day of doing things that need to be done. Or ordering McDonald’s breakfast and turning the PS5 on, which will spiral from there.
