This is the Void


The journey of a lifetime...

Feelings wither away, spirited away on the black expanse. Notions disappear. Love, murdered by time. Liberty, eroded at birth. Self, consumed wholly.

The very fabric of what is, becomes torn. The blackness seeps through, until the world is torn in two, and the definitions drift apart like icebergs in the deep North. Where once there was one, there is now a duality.

Perhaps, now, at the edge of what is, we can enter the Void without that measures the Void within. An emptyness where... something should have been. We feed this Void with everything we can get. Love, Hate, Passion, Apathy, Wealth, Vanity, Grief. And yet it still grows and pulls at us, until finally we feed ourselves to it, throwing ourselves over the edge.

And now, in the Void, we tumble empty, until we reach the edge of What is Not.

Well, I'm glad you like it.

I get criticism for this kind of stuff though. Like I'm prodding some kind of wound that people don't like touched.

I get called "emo" a lot too, but it's not like I'm the first, or last person to ever dwell upon and write about this stuff. I don't plan on ceasing anytime soon either. I have three more little pictures already made, and a little story for each of them.

Yeah, fuck the being called "emo" bullshit.

I sometimes poke fun at those types, but come on, how hard is it to believe that some people actually feel the way they do and maybe like to express it more than others?

I believe it.

What's "emo"?

Geoff said...

It's North American slang for someone who expressed large amounts of emotion. It's a negative connotation, especially for guys. General idea of an emo is someone who senselessly believes that what they are feeling is one of a kind and nobody can possibly understand them and/or their feelings.

Although, in today's world of apathy, showing or expressing any form of emotion often gets you labelled as "emo." Especially if you do it radically.

that picture, awesome. It sums alot shit, that otherwise is left unsaid. Also I personally think the word "emo" is over rated.
