It’s Simple

I’m a simple man

I strive for consistency and am full of contradictions

I want to live simply in a small town, travel around the US in a camper van, get a home in the country, and live in the city of my birth

I want to be free and independent, and also get married and raise my kids alongside some animal friends

I want to keep things as they were during my dog Sawyer’s life and find new adventures to fill my remaining years on Earth

I keep things simple while also overcomplicating them

I want to save humanity and also give up on it

I want to interact in meaningful ways with others and be by myself as often as possible

I value silence but almost never stop talking when I’m alone or around animals

I’m a good speaker and often struggle to get my words out

I’m pretty easygoing but it takes a lot to keep me feeling good

I feel more at peace than in most other times of my life and still wonder if my deepest agonies will ever end

It’s just that simple
