A Poem: Dream

With schizophrenia,
You can still dream big,
Just like a normie!
It might keep you sane.

No it doesn’t because reality eventually destroys the delusion. If you live in a tiny room with a leak in the ceiling, no girlfriend, no erections, and occasional mice it’s impossible to dream big.

Happy cake day, Blizzard!

I live in a huge house with 4m tall ceilings - no leaks, but very cold in winter (gas and electricity prices have shot through the roof this year). I’d rather have less space, it would be easier to heat.

As regards erections or girlfriend, I used to have both and didn’t feel happier, it was like a drug that numbed the consciousness and made me ignorant of the many issues that plague both myself and the world at large. Not saying I don’t miss sharing the bed with a significant other, but I don’t feel that lonely being single.

We used to have mice too. Now they’re gone cause we got several cats, but cat food is expensive as hell.

A wisdom tooth has heen killing me lately. Gotta have it pulled but I’m too afraid to see a dentist.

I can still dream big though. I’ve found a job that I deem meaningful. I get excited by advances in medicine, science and tech. I take pleasure in helping others as long as they are honest people. I hope to see the day man sets foot on Mars and abolishes cancer. Quantum computing and nuclear fusion are coming soon as well.

Everything that mankind has achieved, from toothpicks to electric cars, from inventing words to creating beautiful poems and stories, from clay huts to skyscrapers and palaces; building, exploring, understanding, sharing, improving etc. - it started out as a dream.

Not sure dreaming keeps me sane, as everhopeful puts it. It does keep me entertained, more alert and curious. It keeps things interesting.

I’ll see myself out.
