An Organized Collection of Unorganized Thoughts : Essays of the Unsound Mind

This collection of essays is a compilation of insightful philosophies on life, love, death, politics, mental health, and more from the perspective of a queer young adult with unfiltered opinions.




"Why would anyone want to spend their time in the past? How miserable that must be to encase your mind with the most depressing of thoughts, filling the moments you know are going to be your last, with a never-ending reminder of your regrets."

"I often think of the mind of the untethered astronaut. I often envy it. What is it that we think about when faced with impending doom? No one word can do that feeling justice, I assume. 'Mixed feelings' wouldn't even begin to scrape the surface of the pit that would be cannonballing down past your stomach and out your suit."

"There's an achievement of euphoria in these feelings. I make it sound like some sort of spiritual ritual, which I guess in some ways can be just as or even more healing than witchcraft. There's a sense of utter elatedness and excitement that comes with but in a peaceful, controlled, nonerratic sense. This feeling that I'm describing, although I may not be doing it well enough to do it any justice, maybe the closest I have ever, and will ever come to reaching nirvana. That much, I am convinced."
