Omniversal Odyssey

I’m your host, the americandegen or @radwarlock.

Firstly, I admit that I shift between a more nihilistic mindset and a more optimistic mindset at times. This blog will require both as some posts will be darker while others will be more hopeful.

I hope to pique your interest as we explore the hearts and minds of humanity. I plan on using this blog for a series of curated projects. I’ll share stories, poems, quotes, my takes, and lyrics along with my own photography, random gifs, videos, and songs. I intend on sharing niche content as well as capturing the essence of my mind. I shall be a Tumblr user with max aura.

I’m 28 and I encourage anyone over 18 to interact with me or my blog. I won’t stop anyone under 18 from seeing my posts because nothing will be inherently 18+ but I ask that they refrain from commenting or messaging me. Thank you.

Is anyone there?

I’ve seen hell,

It’s not what you think.

We’re living in it.

Love is an abstract concept to describe feelings of compassion, warmth, and connection.

Love is also a feeling, an emotion, an experience.

Love is not a weapon or a selfish desire,

For love can unite us all when hate loses all meaning.

Pain is visceral while beauty is the byproduct of the sensations.

Challenge comfort with pain. Lose weight, get tattooed, or express yourself with BDSM.

Pain doesn’t need to be a sadomasochist practice. It just needs to be enough to inspire.

"Sure, Times are tough, babe But I have you. I love how you weep, I love watching you sleep. Our love is a circle, because it has no end. I love you, To the moon and back. It's time to hit the sack. Sleep now, babe."

(We see Emma Rose, a 25 year old feminist icon wearing glasses, a grungy, thrifted outfit, and doc martins. The setting is a quaint yet cozy living room where she sees americandegen sitting in a soft, vintage, dark purple chair across from a fireplace. As Emma Rose sits next to americandegen, the fireplace seemingly crackles to life with renewed vigor.) Emma Rose: Contemplating anything this evening, americandegen? (She looks at him with a jovial expression. Her eyes clearly display her curiosity.) americandegen: Ah, yes. Thank you for joining me. (long pause) When the moon disappears behind some trees on a pitch-black summer night, as you hear both the crickets and the howls of wild canines--- do you feel something beyond the serenity of the natural world? Emma Rose: (She ponders his question with natural intelligence as her index finger scratches her chin.) I suppose so. (She then chuckles.) I don't know if you're hoping I give you a certain answer. americanadegen: Of course not, love. I know you try to live in the moment so please do your worst. Emma Rose: Ok, good. (She chuckles again before giving her perspective.) For eons, Gaia has seen different cultures and mythologies. They have different interpretations to explain natural phenomenon such as howling wolves, chirping crickets, and the moon herself. Perhaps Selene, the Greek moon goddess is sharing light and prosperity to others, or perhaps, somewhere out there, she's empowering femininity.. maybe even a coven of witches. americandegen: Hmmm...yes. You're hitting all the points outside the realm of cosmic entities, pseudo-science, and science-fiction. (He smiles at Emma Rose.) Emma Rose: Thanks, dude! I like to think there could be a mystical and feminist answer beyond the movements of Earth and the moon.

[The scene ends as we leave the meta reality.]

Through the bitter winters, and hellish summers— we can all find meaning in life. The desire to be wanted, to have a purpose, and to live our truth is valid for everyone.

Through pain and suffering,

And through love and kindness,

We seek a home.

We seek the feeling of knowing there’s a place where we’re safe and loved,

And people who support us.

I advocate for mental health and wellness. If you’re ever in a place where you need help or just someone to talk to, please call a support hotline as soon as possible.

To be capable of falling in love, one must feel the love emanating from within.

There is also the matter of affection and non-sexual/romantic attachment. We all seek validation, and connection in one way or another. Humans are social creatures and through that, we form bonds. Affection and connection is just one part of the equation.

I’m not a professional but I visualize us as a hybrid between solitary creatures and pack animals. Also, we feed off of each other’s energy almost like vampires or symbiotic organisms.

Loneliness kills almost as much as we’re willing to admit. Some people go through their whole lives pushing love aside while being hurt themselves. Everyone’s experiences vary widely but we can see common threads. An issue many people have is opening themselves up and being vulnerable to any amount of socialization, affection, connection, and love. 

Let’s have this conversation more often so everyone can feel seen. If your heart hurts, don’t just live with the pain. Express it, search for meaning, and do what you have to do. Empathy and love is part of being human. Please don’t shut that part out.

Have we truly became worthy of our sentience? After all, we still continue to perpetuate cycles of fear, greed, and ignorance. Wars, societal tension, exploitation, poverty, and bigotry— amongst other issues have reduced our evolution to almost a grinding halt. Our ability to progress, build a strong sense of morality, and actively supporting basic human rights are all in question.

Now ask yourself these questions…If intelligent alien overlords, extra-dimensional beings, and cosmic entities suddenly made themselves known to us— would they deem us as more than the uncivilized upright primates that we are? Or might they annihilate us? Would they experiment on our underdeveloped brains?

I’m trying to reignite the fire by questioning society with a very cold and self-aware take on our existence. Humanity has made many many many mistakes over our multi-millennia lifespan. Will we be better, do better, and live to see the cosmos? Do we have what it takes?

These are the questions we should all be asking when there’s time to question everything beyond our own experiences.

Thank you for reading this blog post. Follow my main blog: @radwarlock

A cycle like a circle doesn’t end. It just loops around and around infinitely.

Anyone one person can draw a circle but breaking the infinite loop of humanity takes everyone.

This is my lesson in humanity’s endless struggle to thrive through both metaphors and blunt rhetoric.

I hope to help at least one person by sharing my wisdom. I also hope to reach people through abstract thinking and understanding of metaphors while reflecting on the world.
