even love, it seems, dies.

only to be born again, a true phoenix that lives in the cages of our beating hearts

truth is,

i think about our hands a lot:

yours in mine,

my cold palm pressing

against your warm hand,

our slender fingers intwined

with each other

think about the things

that we can accomplish together

hands were made for

building and creating,

and i cannot wait to see what

my hands can create with yours

— unknown

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly".

When I die, please don't burn my body. Rather, bury it. Let the earth swallow me. And from my bones, let bloom, wildflowers.

God this life can be so cruel.

There are children crying for a family and there are parents grieving for their children lost too young. I can't imagine this life alone, there would be no point to any wealth I gained, if couldn't share it with anyone. There are people who have nothing to their name but the love the carry with them. That is all I want . Love. Love for all that crave it, for those that have been denied it by god only knows who. For those that never found it, I wish to gift it onto those who feel alone and lost with no hope.

I wonder what made humanity associate grief with the color -blue. Did we look at the sky and thought , oh the sky is so vast and endless, just like my grief, and its blue, so my grief must be blue too. It hangs over my head just like grief hangs over my heart and its blue, so my grief must be blue too. When it can no longer contain itself, it falls in rain, just like my grief falls in tears, and the sky is blue, so my grief must be blue too. Sometimes the sky speaks in thunder when the rage flows in electricity, I’m reminded of my grief and the storm it assembles, and the sky is blue, so is my grief blue too? And I see the sky take its different forms, orange at dawn, purple at twilight, as my grief takes its many forms in trembling hands and mumbling swears, I can’t help but be reminded of the blue sky, the only vessel vast enough to contain the agonies of my tender heart. Hence, it must be why my grief should be blue, I’ve learned from the skies above, so I know it to be true.

Every and each atom of my existence screams “I’m here. Can you hear me?” and every time I look at the stars I hope the universe answers back

i have never moved on and neither do I wish to.

to move on is to forget, but why would I ever want to forget how unforgettable we were?

“i woke up wanting your lips on mine.

i woke up wanting your arms around my waist.

i woke up wanting our hands laced together.

i woke up wanting to gaze in your eyes.

i woke up

wanting you.”

it is as if the stars want us to be together. it is as if the stars never want us to part. it is as if the stars dance their strange dance to move the cosmos in our favor. is it as if the stars are calling down.

"You have done well. Persevere. The stars alone will light your path. Sleep well, child. We shall watch over you, as we have always done."

It's currently 4:33am and today is my 23rd birthday.

I have no plans for today, and that's okay. It's expected. I wont lie and say I'm filled with joy and excitement for this day, because I'm feeling fairly indifferent (or at least I'm trying to).

I'm not where I thought I would be at 23 years old. When I was still living at home, a few years ago, I imagined this would be a time of happiness, freedom and personal fulfillment. But sadly its not. There's been sprinkles of happiness, but the dark clouds have been so overwhelming, it's been hard to see even a glimer of joy sometimes. I've been walking blind through a storm. A storm that I had a hand in creating.

A few days after my 19th birthday I walked into a citizens advice bureau and applied for homelessness. My mother had received a notice of eviction from our family home. She was no where to be found most days leading up to this, and when she was home she was sleeping off her days of gallivanting like a child with her friends. Nothing would snap her out of this cycle, pleading and begging only drove her out the door faster. So with little options left, I applied for help. I gained a house to live in for my younger brother and I. But I lost my mother. I haven't spoken to her since I left. Sometimes I think I see her in the street, I'll catch a glimpse of curly brown hair in a bun and stop. But I'm never sure if it is her, or just a shadow. It's impossible to think about her for long without my heart cracking open, I miss her, I love her, I worry for her. but I know my brother must come first. But the truth is, I have know idea what I'm doing. I didn't know what would happen that day when I left, I just knew I was desperate.

So today I'm not celebrating, I didn't celebrate my 19th or any other birthdays after. Poverty and guilt will do that. My hope is that today I wont feel too lonely. Or guilty. I hope my brother doesn't feel bad that he cant get me anything (all I need is to know he will one day have what he needs and wants). Today I hope my mother where ever she may be, isn't hurting and is healthy. I hope she isnt being eaten by any feelings. I know she wont want to think about my brother or I today, I imagine it's too painful. So I hope she doesn't. She may have left for at little while, but I left completely. And I will always be sorry for it.

Its now 5:05 am and I've spent too long on this already, too long on memories and feelings I'm not ready to feel. I hope this birthday marks the start of freedom, happiness and personal fulfillment. But most of all, I hope my brother this time next year, is in a place in his life that he can be proud of, a place of abundance. I hope I can give him that.

Right person, wrong time, it seems fate's cruel game,

Two souls entwined, yet paths not the same.

In another world, another rhyme,

Perhaps our love would have had its time.

Destiny's twist, a bitter sweet song,

We dance in shadows, where we belong.

Though heartache whispers, we must part ways,

In memories, our love forever stays.

-Chae
