Food can be characterised as something that keeps you alive and only to keep you alive but humans have made it different from that. With all the herbs and spices, different types of cuts and stews, all the ingredients to make a simple necessity become much more vibrant and special. So much more appetising than just some raw flesh. This is why humans enjoy food more than they enjoy water and other necessities. The flavour and other aspects of the dish can bring back memories or can just be enjoyed by the simple man.

How about if all those flavours didn't exist. If everything you ate felt natural in your mouth. So bland and tasteless being half annoying to chew and dry to swallow. You kept on eating, partially to seem normal, partially to keep alive. The bland chewy mound, of what seems like play dough, in your mouth. I do this every day. Eating has become such a chore. enjoying a decent meal half seems like a memory to me. All I can think of is eat quickly and get out of here.

The dining room is always filled with silence and maybe sometimes a casual joke from Denmark. It's not the same. Nothing is the same. With Iceland progressively losing interest in everyday life and Denmark trying so desperately hard to keep everything together it's just not the same. Every room in this gaddamn house feels so quiet and cold. Lifeless. Colourless. I need to fix it but how can I do that if I can't fix myself?


That was depressing

to cheer you guys up ill write a poem


life is a bitch

hit it with a stick

then run far away so it won't hit you
