The Digital Diatribe

A Tired Mind

A Tired Mind

​​A dystopian daydream has crept into my night, and my night has become day. As the sleepless hours strip away the bonds of reality, I can see the fabric of society begin to unravel. Peeling away like the skin of an apple in the hands of a chef with a sharp blade, that skin is my security, and it falls to the floor.

​Exposed and bare now, I oxidize and begin to change. In whose hands do I place myself now? Left alone, I’ll brown, wither, and rot. But maybe this peeling away is how I’m transformed.

​Optimism and cynicism: my eternal companions, my two wolves, forever at war. Which wolf will I feed?


The Digital Diatribe runs on black coffee, hopes, and dreams. Unfortunately, keeping the lights on also costs actual money. If you like what you read and feel like buying me a coffee, I’d appreciate it. No pressure.
