Paper Trails 
Written By: Ash Catcher 

The greatest mistake is giving up. 
I must not fear, fear is the mind killer. 
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration; 
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pace over, and through me. 
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. 
When it is gone, there will be nothing. Only what you allow to remain. 

Your dreams, when you can sleep soundly- hold the keys to tomorrow's history. 
Love is like oxygen, you get too much you get too high; Dope- another hit of dopamine for me please. 
don’t get enough you’re gonna die. But you’ll be tripping either way. 
And masturbation is necrophilia if you’re dead inside. 
Keep that left hand extra numb for something a little spicy on a rainy Monday afternoon.

Never pay a compliment as though you expect a receipt. 
We are not transactions on a piece of paper- I think at one time I wanted to be more.  
Oh and that reminds me, never leave a paper trail of do good- people will just twist it and crumple it- throw you and it away like all the others before you. 
They are just going to focus on your shortcomings anyway. 
The long haulers are too scared to move out of their comfort zones. 
Experiences are one thing that you can’t get for nothing 
Please keep moving, even if most days you want to stay stagnant and just say “Fuck it all.” ​

The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. 
It's playful and all at the same time to most people serves them absolutely no purpose whatsoever. 
To accomplish great things, you must not only act but also dream not only plan but also believe. I believe in things I can't see, because to most people I have been translucent my entire life.  
We ought to treat strangers as if we expect to see them again. 
And we will, we will see them again- it will be a strange occurrence but then look, they are not strangers anymore. 

We are a species with amnesia, it is time to wake up. 
Do you need me to set an alarm for you?


-Ash ​
