“Oh no.” I stared down at the strawberry shortcake that was supposed to be my best friend’s birthday present. The fight I had with my parents earlier that day had stressed me out so much; to vent my frustration, I decided to beat the cake batter extra vigorously with my whisk. Now that I took a look at the finished product, the cake was mega dense, resembling a slab of cement. Happy birthday, bestie: here’s your delicately frosted brick.
What is the Cake? Does it consist of many things, and is it consistent over time? Surely Cake consistency over time and viscosity depends upon the consistency of that of which it consists.

Raindrops trace patterns on window panes, as cups of tea grow cold. Every day, at precisely four o’clock, a sigh, a stirring. The soft echo of a heart that aches with sameness; the unvarying tick of the clock which renders the soul as still as the quietude without.
Suppose you had a magical pen, and every day it churns out marvelous stories, doodles, and everything in-between. One day it stops. “What gives?” you’d ask. Then, it’s only drawing perfect circles. A celestial conspiracy, you reckon. Too bad, art doesn’t do monotony.

It is a consistent feature of my life that I wait for the change which promises to complete me.

The mud felt weird. I was sticking my hand into chocolate pudding – not bacteria invested dirt water from a demon hurricane. “Right, Jewel?”
Jewel looked at me. She had eyes a little lighter than the brown of the mixture my wrist was stuck in.
every morning
i wake up
and feel you
the
empty
space
that you
still take
up
and every morning
i

I’m not consistent in my writing. I know I have to in order to get better at it. Consistency is in itself a practice and in time will pay off.
