The 365: Day 973



Wednesday, August 31, 2011 (243/973)

My social media post of the day: Over the past few weeks at work I have stabbed myself in the leg, had about a tablespoon of flesh gouged out of my back, and injured a rib. What I have learned: I can still feel. However I don't know if I can feel anything besides pain.

The 365: Day 962



Saturday, August 20, 2011 (232/962)

This is what I posted online from this beach: Heat still radiates from the bonfire pit, and the scent of charred wood fills the air as a single ember glows on. The warm summer breeze blows across my dripping wet body as I search for my clothes on the star-lit beach. The rhythmic crashing of the waves on the shore lets me know I am home. I can almost taste those lips again; a distant memory.
