i am, admittedly, a hopeless romantic. and i’m becoming aware that when i consume media that supports this kind of longing for love and this tendency to look at everything with a sense of poetry, i’m at risk of making my whole life centered around these days. and i’m ready little weirds by jenny slate and i often have silly little romantic thoughts about my life and myself but yesterday i was in the kitchen and i was making myself dinner and everyone was asleep and it was night — which is my favourite part of the day, because everything is quiet and still and calm and i feel like i can breathe and i feel like i can exist without the weight of people’s eyes an expectations and ideas burning through my fragile, broken skin. anyway. it was night and i was making dinner and i was cutting red tomatoes that oozed their juices and i was licking the extra cheese off of my fingers and i put everything on a nice tidy tray and i got upstairs by myself and i sat down in front of my tv and i ate this dinner that i made with my hands, in my mother’s kitchen, in the quietness of the night, and all i could think of was the days i would do this with someone else. in her book little weirds, jenny slate has this part where she says, “i am a lovely woman. who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me?” i ask and wonder and question the same.

Just mine, now.” and when toni morrison said “I want to feel what I feel. What’s mine. Even if it’s not happiness, whatever that means. Because you’re all you’ve got.” and when mary oliver said

“I am supposed to be touched. I can’t wait to find the person who will come into the kitchen just to smell my neck and get behind me and hug me and breathe me in and make me turn around and make me kiss his face and put my hands in his hair even with my soapy dishwater drips. I am a lovely woman. Who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me?”

I am supposed to be touched. I can't wait to find the person who will come into the kitchen just to smell my neck and get behind me and hug me and breathe me in and make me turn around and make me kiss his face and put my hands in his hair even with my soapy dishwater drips. I am a lovely woman. Who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me?
