I know there exists something past the crevices of my mind. I hear a gentle hum in my ears always, like I’m tuned into a specific frequency, turning my head or my gaze as if they are dials. I wonder if any one else hears the same thing. It’s a little isolating—this desire to push past my comfort zone, as much of my comfort relies in the company of others. This yearning to experience what I don’t yet know. I usually can’t convince others to join me but may I haven't expressed myself well. We don’t see eye-to-eye—you see linear and I see in spokes. It’s not backwards if I’m elevating upwards. I want to pull you in, I want you to come with me. But you have to find the stairs yourself--I found this spiral staircase on my own.

Thinking in archetypes is helpful. Although, it feels like a cardboard box and what if I cut myself on the corners one day. Really, it just put into words what I already knew about myself.
