Nick Alexander August 7, 2016 Nick Alexander August 7, 2016 We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. — Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Nick Alexander July 7, 2016 Nick Alexander July 7, 2016 Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want. — Janet Fitch

Nick Alexander July 2, 2016 Nick Alexander July 2, 2016 I am not a graceful person.I am not a Sunday morning or Friday sunset.I am a Tuesday 2am,I am gunshots muffled by a few city blocks,I am a broken window during February.My bones crack on a nightly basis.I fall from elegance with a dull thud,and I apologize for my awkward sadness.I sometimes believe that I don’t belong around people,that I belong to all the leap days that didn’t happen.The way the light and darkness mix under my skin has become a storm.You don’t see the lightning,but you hear the echoes
