The thing is, I lose everything.
I've misplaced all the
things I own at least twice.
No thing is safe
from disappearing,

As you can tell, I have been in a rut.
Little of artistic value has come from me lately.
I've begun to expect too much from myself, so I rarely post anything now.
Hopefully this will change once school starts.
