Somehow everything I write is dark and sad. I don't know why but it's hard to write happy, I also like writing about bittersweet things.

If you give a roommate a snack

if you give a roommate a snack

they'll leave crumbs all on the floor

so you'll have to get your broom and ask them to clean up

but then they'll probably complain

and ask you to take out the trash

so you take out the trash but when you get back they haven't swept

so you bribe them with a snack that you have no intention of giving them

and they sweep the floor,

afterwards they will want the snack

but you have already given them one and you will say so

and they will say you lied and start arguing

and then you will have to move out of your dorm

so you pack up your things and find a new roommate

but to do so you must put up signs

and to make the signs you have to print them so you go to the library

and try to print the signs

but to print the signs you need to pay and you don't have money because you've just moved out

so you walk around looking for loose change

when you find the change and print the papers and hang up the signs you wait for a roommate

and when you find a roommate you try to be nice move in pretty fast

then you get to know them and their likes and dislikes

and you want to be friends

so you give your roommate a snack

Apologies

I am writing this to let you know that I have decided to leave this organization. Your policies no longer stand by my own. I see what you are doing and I know that it is wrong for me to let this go by. I doubt I will live long enough to see your plans fall and I know that your retribution will be swift. However, by the time you get this letter I will be long gone, and by the time you finish reading the authorities will be there. But I know that you will keep on reading because it is in your disposition to do so. You have to see things through to the end and coincidentally so do I. So I wait for the man you sent to kill me to find me and then I will know that I have succeeded. Good luck in escaping this time, for I know that I will not. My death shall prove your guilt.

Best Rega

The Little Things

I can't tell you what it means to cherish someone

so much that it hurts

I can't tell you what it means that you will follow them

to the ends of the earth

But,

I can tell you what it means to hold someone close

to love them and listen

and want to be near them,

to hold them and hear them

and see the smile they make when the world is just right

It's terrifying in its comfort

It's monstrous in its smallness

It's the little things that make up the big

and you fall deeper and deeper

until you can't see for all the light.
