If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

you called me cerebral, i didn't know what you meant. but now i do, would it have killed you to call me pretty instead?

i must not lie down on my bed with my phone. lying down with my phone is the time-killer. lying down with my phone is the little mistake that brings total academic obliteration. i will face my phone. i will permit it to show me my updated tumblr feed. and when i have scrolled past a few posts i will turn over my phone and place it down. where the procrastination has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain

when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’

"skin" - original poem

no longer can you look at me the same

i have peeled back my shell for you

and now i lie here, exposed

you have taken your hook and pulled at my strings

they are weary and i am weary

you have peered into my soul and witnessed my fears

witnessed my reflection staring back at me

at you

your eyes mirror mine

you see the same reflection i do

your perception is now tainted with my thoughts

no longer can you look at me the same
