River Seeker

a lost soul seeking hope

  • Little Pieces

    I wish I weren’t so fragile. Instead of breaking at the smallest of touches, I’d rather be fortified and immovable. To be able to face anything and not collapse is an unattainable goal. I guess I’m just broken. Can I ever be repaired? Read more

  • Death Fixation

    I wish I wasn’t so fixated on death. My mind deserves a break from constantly agonizing over my eventual demise. Worrying about it has no sway on whether or not its going to happen. It will. And I just need to accept that. But I can’t. At least, not fully. The unknown terrifies me like… Read more

    Cheers, Chipo… I spend too much time in my head. Losing myself in the good and bad memories. They say that practicing mindfulness—being in the present moment—would help. But I can’t seem to make it there. I’m always somewhere else. Lost, and not looking to be found? Despite the terrors that I encounter in the… Read more

  • Cheers, Chipo… It’s no secret that the world is fucked right now. No one has the chance to stop and even breathe. Instead, we’re all forced to endure wave after terrifying wave of hardships from the ones in power. To many, the world is ending. So what hope can we seekers possibly find in a… Read more

  • Cheers, Chipo! I am writing to you because I can’t live with the endless cacophony of words trapped in my head. They bounce off the walls of my mind 24/7, leaving much more than cosmetic damage in its wake. I’ve never really known who I am, so I thought writing to you would help me… Read more
