- June things, and thinking of writing again
I keep saying "I want to write, I want to write," yet I never really commit. I could probably keep up after a few weeks, but I don't think I'll last a few months. / I guess the say...
- Listening to old songs and unearthing old memories.

- What to write? and other recurring thoughts

You normally won't hear a lot in silence. There's not a lot of content to cover, not a lot of words to mix and match; Silence does not have much. / But with you, it seems heavier t...
