Words whispered

in bedsheets

made me believe

we were in love

Dear diary

How do I love myself again

When I'm not sure I ever really did

Maybe a time I claimed what was mine

Dropped denial and steeled my spine

When someone I loved wasn't put first

And I still carried out self-care

I cried and supplied needed comfort

I didn't get enough of growing up

And instead of dismissing what I felt

I acknowledged its validity then moved on

Before I let anyone else dictate my worth

Winter too far to freezingly squeeze

All vitality and assurance from my heart

I didn't need an excuse to love

Just the beat of my heart was enough

Every reason was reasonable

Back before I dissolved under the weight

Of expectations--taking credit for wrongs

That were never mine to right

How do I love myself again?

Tear out this page and start afresh

Forging forward on a blank new one

Writing to please me first and foremost

While sharing with those I care

Only that which I can actually spare

Prompts: rip the page out; all gone; excuse the reason

So, yesterday I finished reading the midnight library by Matt Haig, and even though I have not written a review yet, I wanted to share this quote from the book. Hope you like it! 📚💫

Something in me dies when I look back at 15, 16 17 years and more of the little time that I have lived and passed and I realize the weight of all the unmade decisions abandoned. I could have picked up that book. I could have taken that one last photograph, I should have told that her smile was pretty. I could have given him that letter when his mom died. I could have adopted that stray kitten. I could have said sorry and baked grandma that cake and been silent before I cut with my unfathomed anger. I should have breathed better before that one fight and told my sisters that I loved them. I should have taken a step back and I could have kept that one foot forward. I get to revel in the could've, should've and would've now. The after-taste is left far more bitter with regret than sweet.

Reading the cliff notes

Right on the edge

Of the mountain

In your eyes

I'd buy every study guide

If it would tell

The story

Of your life

Can I write myself into

The margins

Of your heart

Can I just try?

Please don't fall in love

with me. I am an asshole

and a sad wet cat.

- a haiku by Dream of the Endless

#this hit me like a truck at midnight in the middle of a frozen lake #as in it came out of nowhere and I was just minding my own business #idk why Dream would choose me to be his spokesperson(?) for this #am I the send tweet button?#dreamling #corintheus #hobrintheus #idk the names of other Dream ships so that's all I'm gonna tag #dream of the endless #the sandman #my writing #poetry

"contemporary texts aren't ever as meaningful/artistic/etc as classics." WRONG! Here are a few prime examples of beautiful modern writing:

"All I can do is stand on the curb and say 'Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.'" - Richard Siken, Crush

“They both know the looping shape of pain—it changes and quiets but never ends. There is a strange comfort in its constancy. Memories of what was lost are also reminders of what was held.” - Lily Brooks-Dalton, The Light Pirate

"Cold came over me, but I was warm inside with guilt. The feeling nuzzled against me. It pressed against my heart like a soft animal and slept in my life." - Marie Rutkoski, The Midnight Lie

"Surviving's ugly work, and here I am, so hideously alive." - Trista Mateer, Girl, Isolated

“I've taken what they've given me and turned it into a mockery of them. I will turn it into what destroys them. If they want me to be a monster one step closer to God, that's fine. In what world was their God ever a benevolent one?” - Andrew Joseph White, Hell Followed With Us

The Silt Verses my absolute beloved: I'm relistening and was so excited to get back to Chapter 17, and the way that most of the episode just sweeps over you with an unexpected degree of kindness. Important to be reminded that kindness — or something like it — is possible, even in this brutal world.

#the silt verses #tsv #the silt verses season 2 #pine's silt verses relisten #'the words are kind and i enjoy their closeness to my breath' love 2 have feelings about the way we reach for poetry for the ritualized wor #to soothe #as much as all the other things #and now thinking my little thoughts about prayers and rituals and liturgy and how the language of tsv often allows us to navigate #the horrors in a metaphorical-metaphysical?-way #the way the show uses a kind of mythical cadence in its narration carries us into the space of myth or fairy tale #and lets us sit outside it: this is a story #but the naturalistic dialogue and the immersive soundscapes and the so-real performances force us to be present #writing meta in the tags because its after midnight and i don't have it in me to really write this rn #but I'm eternally stunned by this show #no id #sorry i am in a lot of pain and am going to bed soon!

Sometimes, LIFE moves so fast for you to catch the moments..

One moment, you are having a happy conversation in the cafeteria with your batch and the very next moment you find your batch moving in different directions according to their life choices...

I always try to keep myself from connecting to my mind, not wanting to let the thoughts consume me with confusion, sadness, disappointment, self-pity, and many more emotions I'm trying to run away from.

Paint a portrait of midnight from rescued dreams

And sound off each heartache at dawn;

A roll call of regrets for the new sun to burn

Down to nothing.
