Finding Meaning in Poetry, Philosophy, and the Layers Beneath the Surface

Why Structure Speaks to Me

I’ve always been drawn to the haunting elegance of Edgar Allan Poe—where structure meets sorrow, and emotions linger beyond time. Annabel Lee has stayed with me, not just for its rhythm, but for the way it captures love as something eternal, yet shadowed by fate.

There’s something about structured poetry that resonates deeply with me. I don’t just admire form; I crave meaning in every line, every echo of something deeper. The Indian Serenade by Shelley is another favorite—proof that within the constraints of form, something boundless can emerge. Nature, existential musings, and justice aren’t just themes I appreciate; they shape the way I see the world. Beauty is never just about aesthetics—it’s about depth, intention, and the truth that lingers beneath the surface.

Between Taoism and Nietzsche: A Balance of Flow and Fire

Philosophically, I walk a fine balance. Laozi’s Taoist wisdom reminds me to embrace flow, to recognize the natural rhythms of life. But Nietzsche’s fire keeps me questioning, pushing, redefining. I believe in both surrender and self-determination—because truth isn’t singular. It shifts, it layers, it demands to be unraveled.

Plato’s Cave Allegory? That one’s personal. I’ve never been content with surface-level reality. I’ve always felt that most of the world operates in shadows, accepting the version of truth they’re given. I can’t do that. I see beyond, whether I want to or not. It’s a gift, but sometimes, it’s a lonely one.

Who I Am

🔹 A Seeker of Depth – I don’t just observe the world; I question it, analyze it, and try to understand what’s beneath.

🔹 Structured but Philosophical – I find comfort in form and rhythm, but my mind thrives in existential exploration.

🔹 A Romantic Realist – I believe in love, beauty, and meaning—but I also know life doesn’t always deal in happy endings.

🔹 An Independent Thinker – I don’t follow a single ideology. I gather wisdom like pieces of a mosaic, forming my own perspective.

🔹 A Mystic at Heart – Nature, memory, and the unseen shape the way I navigate the world. I notice things others miss.

Existing in the In-Between

I suppose you could say I exist in between things—in the balance of reason and wonder, logic and longing, reality and possibility. I don’t just move through life; I unravel it, layer by layer, always seeking, always discovering.
