I’m through running away. I’ve finally found someone I want to protect. You.

Remembering the best quote tweet I ever got.

the thing i miss so deeply about college is like actual critical thinking and discussion abt literature, especially the taboo and gross stuff. you can’t have an actual discussion about lolita or in more recent times, my dark vanessa, without performative and shallow dismissing of the art itself. like. okay go watch sesame street and cocomelon dude idk what to tell you, if every piece of media was morally pure there wouldn’t be… art. it would just be content.

“She stands over me as I say I’m sad, I’m so sad, small, simple words, the only ones that make sense as I clutch my chest like a child and point to where it hurts.”

— Kate Elizabeth Russell, from My Dark Vanessa

Talk to me telepathically. I can hear you.

I wrote 12 pages in my journal about you, while I was listening to Billie Holiday. You made a very interesting impression for me.

I'm definitely a romantic, I don't think life is really worth all the pain and effort and struggling if you don't have somebody that you love very much.

imagine being the first ancient person to realize that the ocean and their tears taste the same. imagine realizing that your sorrow and the waves share a taste. i wouldve gone crazy

i have to believe somewhere, someone is trying a taco for the first time. someone is taking their first shower. someone is coming home to a new puppy.

i have to believe that this winter, someone new to snow will pull out a 5 dollar plastic sled and throw themselves down a hill, just to try it.

i think i'm probably lucky to be familiar with sunrises. i live in an area where the lightning bugs dance in their cocktail hours. i take chickadees for granted.

today i saw a tree that had changed to fall colors, and my first reaction was to grimace. i love autumn, but i hate the cold. i don't want it to be winter yet.

but how lucky, to live in a place where the leaves do change color - so bright and vibrant that people make treks from around the world just to look at what i grew-up-with. my mom's friend was a teacher in florida. she used to ask us to mail her an assortment of leaves, just to show her children - to prove to them yes, they really do turn yellow and orange and red.

last year i finally tried pumpkin spice for the first time. someone this year will find a new favorite knitting pattern. someone's favorite band will drop a new album. artists will make things we haven't yet imagined. there will be chalk drawings and magnet poetry and karaoke and recipes and laughing.

it is easy to forget. this was all new to me, once. and when it was - well, it was just all so easy to love.

I read. Obsessively. Because, when I read, there is purpose to my loneliness.

They just told me life is simple.
