We are here

We are here…

…Placed in existence.  The reasons for which are numerous, whether you know it, assume it, or believe it…
but the reason is unimportant.
We are here.


Ever so fragile. Ever so breakable.
Uniquely molded and painted glass figurines. Placed on a shelf to live out our lives, however long and eventful they may be, until inevitably and for unimportant reasons, we finally break.
Not one of us is living without a crack upon our glossy surface.


Perhaps it is this fragility that makes us so strong.
Or perhaps it just helps to put it into perspective.
Perhaps we don’t have to try so hard, if we remember that we’re all simply thrown in here, bouncing and reflecting off one another.


Never untouched, never alone, and never lost.


We are beautiful creatures.
For all the cynicism, hatred, ignorance and greed that festers in us,
we never cease to attempt to better ourselves, and the world in which we have been placed.
And why?

What do we owe this world?

The world that simultaneously makes us laugh and cry,
that screams at us,
throws us, and
plays with us like a small child with its toys.

The world that we ourselves have bled on, pissed on, and vomited on;
scars evident on its thin and flaky crust,
leaving cities and towers of our own mistakes.

Oh yes, we are far from perfect.
But we do try.
Constantly and without falter: we try.
So why feel the guilt, the shame, and the
doubt?


Be happy now.
