Day 1 - Poisonous - “The good times are killing me”
Day 2 - Tranquil - “We are the livestock of plants and trees, which feed us and give us air knowing that we will soon die and feed them”
Day 3 - Roasted - “When life seems dangerous and unmanageable, just remember that it is and you can’t survive forever”
Day 4 - Spell - “You fog up my head and spin me around”
Day 5 - Chicken - “Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans. We have learned to live our lives trying to satisfy other people’s demands. We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because we fear not being accepted and not being good enough for someone else”
Day 6 - Drooling - “Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole, I love you so”
Day 7 - Exhausted - “Because in a world where there are voices that are only read and laughter is never heard or I'm so desperate to feel that I hope the Technologic can reverse the universe so the screen can touch me back and maybe it will When our technology is advanced enough to make us human again”

Day 9 - Precious - “Describe yourself in one life or less”
Day 10 - Flowing - “No use crying over spilled milk. No use weeping over stray peanut butter. No use clutching at a fallen slice of toast screaming Why? Why?”
Day 11 - Cruel - “The pleasure is all mine. There is no pleasure left for anyone else. I own it all” - If you take a liking to Esther Perel’s research, you’ll appreciate that the bedroom is no place political correctness (obviously after consent). Often, the forbidden is acted out behind closed doors and in this act of play, some of our most vulnerable needs are met in a cathartic way. You can be a feminist and still enjoy being submissive. Anyone who says otherwise is probably succumbing to narrative that female pleasure must be pure and scrupulous, that sex must be deep (emotionally) and meaningful—the same narrative that disempowers women through slut shaming and double standards 🙅🏻♀️ My life motto: if harm be not done, then all in good fun!
Day 12 - Whale - “The ocean is full of things that would kill you and other things that would ignore or not understand you. The ocean is not dissimilar to here”

Day 14 - Clock - “And now, a look at traffic. < We are eternal! We will not last! < Obviously, you know that when you die, the matter that is your matter will just become matter, no article attached. That matter will belong to any number of things. That matter is not you. That matter was never you. < We are eternal! We will not last! < But there is more to you than matter. When you die, you will not disappear until everyone who remembers you, and whose actions are affected – however slightly – by your memory, until all of those people die, and you are completely forgotten. < We are eternal! We will not last! < But even then, you are not gone. Not until all the people who remember and are affected by those people who remembered, and were affected by you, are gone. < We will not last! < But even then, you are not gone. Not until all the people who remember and are affected by those people who remembered, and were affected by those people who…and so on, and so on, and on. < We are eternal! < You will persist, ever so faintly, ever so slightly, on into perpetuity. Long after everything about you no longer matters. Your life is so small. But, in the setting sun of this universe, its shadow is cast down through generation after generation, until it gets blurry and hard to see…but still there. A breath of a wisp of a thread stretching out before you. < We are eternal! But we will not last! < There’s a fender bender on Route 800, near Exit 84B. Expect delays. This has been traffic”
Day 15 - Weak - “Talking too much is a sign of insecurity. So is keeping too quiet. So is breathing and being born a human”
Day 16 - Angular - “If I said you had a beautiful body, would it even matter because we are so insignificant in this vast, incomprehensible universe?”
Day 17 - Swollen - “Guns don’t kill people, blood loss and organ damage does”
Day 18 - Bottle - “I have pills for everything. Some

Day 24 - Chop - “Get busy living or get busy dying”
Day 25 - Prickly - “The less I know the better”
Day 26 - Stretch - “Take a picture. It’ll last longer. Keep taking pictures, hoping to stretch time. Keep taking pictures to avoid the harrowing brevity of existence” - The scariest part about putting down your phone is looking around and realising you’re utterly alone in a sea of absent people. Maybe there was some truth to losing bits of your soul to photographs .
Day 27 - Thunder
Day 28 - Gift - “Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. This is what love is” - Continue to build up people around you until the world is full of people who want to help each other
