i love going back through old writing from when i was a teenager and just being in love just in love. i love these words i love the love that wrote them. i love that these stories compelled me so deeply i thought and wrote about them for years already and will do so for years more. i love that they were trailheads on journeys i didn't yet know i was taking. ideas i followed in curiosity to see what else i could find where they led me. i love that people i've been thinking about for years still draw me into them because i put so much of myself inside them- before i even knew it was me. i sang into a vastness and my own voice echoed back to me over and over. i laid down truths i would learn to live by. there has always been delight and wisdom in the things i wrote. the child wrote in joy and when i read and write in joy i am with again the child. you know?

#chat #getting emotional a little . a lot. Many thoughts these past couple months about the things we return to knowing over and over again #Finding in ourselves we knew things long before we thought we ever did. Memory is a gift even in its gaps because it grants you surprise #You can learn something new about someone or remember something old and feel the love of them so deeply again- and it's you. #It's your little heart- the heated clay inside you then- that gained weight + shape + finger-prints with the years you've been collecting. #words #ownwork

I have not stopped thinking about Hozier’s Abstract (Psychopomp) from Unreal Unearth, and decided to write about how this song makes me feel. So here’s a little something.

—————————————————————

It stared at the odd creature on its hind legs moving closer, what it could not know as hands outreached, closer, towards its limp body - the moonlight above, a halo shone as it closed its eyes.

—

As I reached forward with trembling hands into the dark illuminated only by the soft glow of the moon above, I noticed its soft pleading eyes almost glistening with the tears I had caused, a pain I could only hope to end mercifully.

And in those eyes I saw my own life like a mirror shattered on the ground. I saw my hands over my face as I weeped for the life I have always wanted, and for the life my parents deserved. I am walking hand in hand with my mother as she tries to give her child something to be excited about. My father’s hands are out and is struggling to stay afloat. The cruel world takes everything, it leaves you begging and a silent prayer is casted in the hopes that others will answer. They both survive and cling on to that hope, that I will grow to never face the harshness they had endured. Who am I to deny them an existence that is free from the cruel reality of the world, even if it means being trapped in moments that was not my own doing to begin with?

In those eyes I saw lips on my own. Hands intertwined in secret, bodies pressing and tears I would shed for months to come in hopes that the words will finally escape your mouth again. The pain that turned to anger has now diminished from my mind, as I look back into those moments of shared proximity and spaces from a distance I cannot understand to be my own. I cling to memories that shone and try to not detach my soul from something that shaped me into who I am. I am content with being grateful of the experience, and yet struggle to understand how two hands that fit well into one another can now feel like a speck of dust blown away by the wind.

In those eyes I see my whole life before me. I am stuck in moments I cannot relive. Beautiful moments I cannot remember and terrible ones I struggle to forget. Memories that hurt and healed, come flooding through my head as I kneel on the tarred road, soaking wet. The light from the moon still shines and whispers an embrace of comfort that gives me the strength to carry it off the ground. A new light blinds and my ears are filled with the threat of my life being taken away from me. I have so much to live for and once this memory ceases to matter, it will come again in pieces to remind me of why I needed to live like it didn’t. I choose to not let it suffer anymore and lay it on the side of the road, away from harm and away from the world. I wipe my tears with the sleeves of my bloodstained sweater as I watch it from my mirror. It finally closes its eyes, closed and finally free from this cruel world.

—

“Where am I?”

“You are with me now. Let me guide you. Come, come and see how it shines”

“But, I have to go home. They are waiting”

“I know, but it is time”

“No. I still have so much to live for. So much to see. To do. To give. It cannot be time, it’s too soon”

“It always is, dear one”.

Feeling nothing isn’t that bad, because then I know that I can find peace somehow.

Allerbeste Vriend(in)

Vrienden

Vriendschap

Bevriend

Ach, wat stelt het voor?

Welke betekenis heeft het nog

Als je er één van velen bent?

Men je inruilt voor iets beters?

Het van één kant moet komen?

Vriendschap is een illusie

Ik ken dat lied.

En het is waar

Eénmaal kom je tot de conclusie,

vriendschap is een illusie,

vriendschap is een droom

een pakketje schroot

met een dun laagje chroom.

Ik heb veel vrienden

maar geen enkele oprecht

geen éen waar ik mijn hart aan toevertrouw

Dus mag ik dan stellen,

een vriend, die heb ik niet?

Een vriend die van je houdt

die jij vertrouwd

Waar je mee kunt schrijven

die je in jouw armen kunt nemen

mee kunt lachen

en mee kunt wenen?

Waar je geen seks mee wil hebben

maar wel ontzaggelijk veel van kunt houden.

Ach, die heb ik niet

vandaar dan ook dit verdriet.

Geen leegte om mij heen

maar een leeg hart van steen.

Dat schreeuwt om te leven

Om liefde te krijgen en te geven

maar niet één van velen

want dan kan het mij niets schelen

Om verder tegaan op deze weg

alleen, ach, dan maar pech.

Altijd nog beter

dan gekwetst te worden achtergelaten.

oh i needed this so bad right now forreal. im now two in a row for 'terra ignota acknowledgements that made me cry' (perhaps the stars got me so bad). like.

five and a half years after first encountering the series that would become most formative to you, and a year and change after finishing it, you come back to the first book, and the author who gave you so much, stranger to stranger, tells you that for years she wanted to build it for you so desperately it hurt, it drew tears. and you're reading this 24 hours after a good cry about your own crisis of creative faith and it's like oh. creativity is just like that. we are all experiencing pain in pursuit of our dearest makings and it does not preclude the making. it is the experience.

and of course many people have said this before, over millennia, it's a human commonality. But you needed to hear this specifically from someone whose work you've spent a lot of time with. you needed to be able to connect the joy and the depth of feeling with that work, to the struggle it took to exist and come to you. your love comes easily to finished products and you struggle to love your own work while it is still a process. but all work was once a process, and from its creator's viewpoint even the most polished piece is still just a step of the capital-p Process of living as a person who tries to make things. and you need to hear that. you need it more often than you get it. so you're glad every rare time you get it.

#chat #'let the work stand on its own' is a valid philosophy but also. i think hearing about process & struggle is something the mainstream lacks #which is really bad actually because guess where every odd esoteric person trying to make something for the world started out. #as a kid with access to the mainstream. not knowing where to look for messy sweaty smeary evidence of toil creating love and art. #capital makes product of everything we have ever experienced as a species isnt that fucking insane. anyway #actualblogging #<- trying a tag for. posts that are Actually Blogging as opposed to just goofing as we mostly do on this silly ass website #terra ignota #ti tags #ownwork

The tabloids : a press so British !

By Mathis Alloul

The tabloids are probably the most talked-about press on a daily basis. Always looking for clout, these media are doing everything to get scoops. Let's take a look at the history and current trends of this type of media.

Source : Ownwork

Tabloid journalism is one popular style of largely sensationalist journalism (usually drama, sometimes unverifiable or even blatantly false). Which took it's name from the tabloid newspaper format: a small-sized newspaper. The size became associated with sensationalism. The front page of a tabloid always has big photographs and headlines, it is even called superficial journalism. The oldest British tabloid is The People, founded in 1881 and still one of the most popular today.

As in the United States, some weekly magazines have become increasingly popular since the 2000s. However, their sales began to decline in the late 2000s, partly because of the emergence of the digital press, but mostly because of the scandal involving Nouveau du Monde.

Create and share scandals.

Harry and Megan : the famous couple. The tabloids have clearly decided to take Meghan and Harry as their target. Since their royal wedding in May 2018, the front pages have been following one another. Meghan Markle has always been in their shot, her friends (abandoned), her loves (past), her troubles (family) as been used against her. Why so much hate? Being American is the source of all the issues the tabloids have said. Because she wasn't necessarily cooperative during her pregnancy, the media grumbled. Because Meghan-bashing sells a lot, quite simply.

Princess Diana famously made a lot of headlines in the national tabloids. "If we didn't have anything to sell, all we had to do was take a picture of Diana, enlarge it as much as possible and put it on the front page," confirms former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie, considered "the genius of the tabloids”. Some loose headlines: "My life is torture", "I had an affair with Hewitt", "I never liked Dodi", all without any real quote from the main character. The princess was always followed by paparazzi wherever she went. The paparazzi have been widely blamed for the accident that led to Diana's death in 1997 in Paris.

The most widely read and purchased British tabloids are : Metro, The Guardian, The Times, The Mail on Sunday and The Daily Mail (in order).
