I always hand it out&lt;br&gt;
Take a piece of me,&lt;br&gt;
Keep it for when I&apos;m away&lt;br&gt;
I&apos;ll be your relic&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am your relic&lt;br&gt;
I&apos;ll be your relic&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m running away from here&lt;br&gt;
Like I ran from Florida&lt;br&gt;
We&apos;re dolphins jumping, in and out&lt;br&gt;
Of the bright and scarlet ring of time&lt;br&gt;
It only lasts a moment&lt;br&gt;
It only lasts a moment&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wild and endless sea,&lt;br&gt;
The eternal song&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has no way out&lt;br&gt;
Nor my forgiveness&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category>Rosalía</category><category>Music</category></item><item><title>note from 2026-10-12</title><link>https://abearstateofmind.com/notes/2026/10/12/f699c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://abearstateofmind.com/notes/2026/10/12/f699c/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 02:18:10 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;I feel like the Internet and computers in general have been my only true and faithful companion ever since I first laid hands on a keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Machines might bring on the end of civilisation, but until then let&apos;s just say they have saved my world countless times whenever humans failed me, and fail me they did, and do, all the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which is how I ended up setting this site up as a way for me to safely scream into the void.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then again, perhaps I am the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vielleicht bin ich ein Fehler in der Matrix.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded></item><item><title>watch from 2026-10-11</title><link>https://abearstateofmind.com/notes/2026/10/11/0beea/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://abearstateofmind.com/notes/2026/10/11/0beea/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 11 Oct 2026 18:09:11 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Revisiting some favourite episodes from Season 6.

Wonder where your heart came from&lt;br&gt;
What have you done?&lt;br&gt;
My only friend keep on&lt;br&gt;
Wander or leave&lt;br&gt;
Turn into winter lights&lt;br&gt;
Keeping your strength&lt;br&gt;
When it gets dark at night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What you&apos;re feeling&lt;br&gt;
It&apos;s what I&apos;m feeling too&lt;br&gt;
What you&apos;re made of&lt;br&gt;
It&apos;s what I&apos;m made of too&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category>London Grammar</category><category>Music</category></item></channel></rss>
