Home Is Where the Bodies Are

by Jeneva Rose

There’s not many things you can count on in life, but that . . . is one thing you can count on. It will rise and it will fall—no matter what. Don’t matter if you’re sick or sad. Don’t matter if there is war or there is peace. Don’t matter if you see it or you don’t. That sun. You can count on it.

sometimes it’s the bad things in life that make us feel the most alive.

“Feeling dead while your body still walks this earth is far worse than being dead.”

Age doesn’t always mean maturity. Sometimes it just means they’ve spent more time on earth, and the only things to show for it are diminished bones and skin etched with deep ridges. Not wisdom.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, as the sun eventually sets on us all.

Resentment only poisons the person who consumes it, not the one it’s intended for.
