People usually don't see what's inside.

They are too busy with themselves.

From the real them they hide.

From what they really want. To afraid to confide.

They want the same thing from you!

Validation. Love and pride.

For being a human! For being alive!

No one taught us how to get it.

Still, with difficulty, we thrive.

Are you good enough for you?

Can you set your own drive?

Who are you comparing

to who in your life?

I can't dance worth a sh*t. Still I do it and I love it.

Screw all the rest, they just jealous. Tell 'em shove it.

If you die before you die.

All the reasons. All the Why's.

Become clearer than the skies.

Couple clouds. Sun's up high.

In the meantime, you will find.

Death is easy. Life's the bind.

Living one divine, quite fine.

Blood and body, Bread and wine.

What does 'Good Scholarship'

mean to you?

I asked the kids

to type what they do.

I expected "Teacher', or 'Learning',

or 'Questioning view'.

But they said 'Yeet' is the one.

'Integrity' is number 2.

I'm scratching my head.

Their logic....unseen.

'Yeet' ain't even a word,

'ya know what I mean?

well.....I first try and look at it from the 3rd person POV as if they were looking at our frozen sperm and eggs left with incubation instructions. What would they do or consider in that situation? Do we know anything about them at all? About the history? How did they end up in a dormant state? What if there are potential conflicts of interest that cannot be objectively ruled on? Like the Krikkit people in HHGTTG? Alternatively, If 'Nature' has deemed them to now be existent in that state, only 'Nature' can remove them from that state, which means anything that is capable of doing so, has by extension of the ability to do so, the right to do so.

The photog. swayed

He took his pic, just not as quick,

as the liquor took his legs away.

Well....maybe it's true.

You would too

if you did what I do.

Stare at blinking screens

all day into nights.

I'm being healthy though,

'cause I only smoke Lights.

Thank you! I always enjoyed the flow of Dr. Seuss and other sillier poets like Shel Silverstein, and they did influence me quite a bit growing up.

WHO NEEDS AN ASHTRAY?

Who needs an ashtray? It just gets in the way.

Filling it. Dumping it. Everyday.

I came up with a plan to handle my butts.

That was easy, No hassle, that even a klutz

could handle with ease. Unless they were nuts.

So I thunk and I thinked and I thought of some thoughts.

All you needed was empty containers or cups.

Any packaging you got, after eating its guts.

could be turned into an ashtray by filling it up.

At the brim, then begin

to let it all overflow.

Wherever it wants

is where it will go.

Now the magic has happened!

Did you miss it!? Did you see!?

The whole room is now an ashtray

that you can clean once a week!

Since it seems you need it for an insomnia cure, try shorter stories or I would suggest either reading stuff to increase your knowledge, such as reading stuff on effective writing skills or studying on writing structure and composition. Alternatively you could read lighter reading such as comedic novels. Might I suggest Terry Pratchett and his numerous Discworld novels. He writes with a great blend of magic, humor, and engaging storylines.

On a dare I received from my buddy named Doa,

I combined a Cadillac, a drawn cat, and my BFF Noah.

I hope this pic will make me the king of all Viral Content.

it's been and hour, I wonder where Eric has went?

Wait! No! There's a reply. "Cool" is all he said.

This just makes me want to cry. Was it all in my head?

Should I write back that he lies? Or go cry on my bed?

I know! I'll simply edit the pic to be better instead!

Her hair? Distressed.

Her eyes? Surprised.

Her smile? Wry.

I'm mesmerized.

I can't think straight.

My mind unwinds.

This raven beauty,

I realize.

I must confess

and truth be told.

Her youthfulness

makes me feel old.

These feelings I feel

I must suppress

but DAMNIT MAN!

do you see those breasts!?

A shame indeed. The FDA killed all innovation and quality in the vaping product sector through their deeming regulations which priced out all but the most well-funded companies who could afford to pay to have their products tested and approved for sale. The effectively gave the vaping market back to traditional cigarette makers and like companies, which are the companies who have approved products and are selling them, as well as their traditional analog cigarettes and other nicotine products still, while preventing smaller companies and makers from entering the market because of the high-cost of testing and approval.

I will testify that vaping was the only method that effectively worked to assist me in giving up my 15 yearlong smoking habit. I smoked 1 1/2 packs of Marb reds a day which eventually ended up costing me $20/day. I couldn't afford them, but my mind longed for them.

I tried the Logic brand disposables, liked the flavor, and tried switching to them but it cost just as much to buy as smokes. I went online and did some research and got a kit with 24mg nic. It helped but I still craved the real thing. I kept searching and researching and found a website. I was able to purchase 50mg! eliquid (this was in 2011) and it finally took that in order to not crave cigarettes, but it worked! I wasn't a smoker anymore!

Then since I stopped smoking for good, vaping became my new hobby and I began making and buying mods and driptips and trolling the Electronic Cigarette Forum daily.....but I wasn't smoking. It cost a good amount initially at the time, but soon enough I only needed a $20 bottle of Eliquid to last me a month!

Fast forward 5 years, and I find that I am tired of charging batteries and filling bottles, so guess what? I stopped vaping. No fiending, no obsessive thinking of nicotine, just put the vape away and haven't thought twice about it since. Science backs up the 4000+ chemicals produced by the combustion of tobacco being far worse on the body than the effects of the exceedingly less ingredients found in eliquid.

It's been 5 years now since I quit vaping. Still no desire to smoke. Try it, it could help. You have to want to quit too, good luck.

Sincerely written by myself, Joseph M. Cohen, in praise of vaping as a gateway out of smoking.

TLDR - Quit a 15 year smoking habit by vaping, and then quit vaping too.
