New generations new cycles of what has always been building

swallow it
smile
stay easy to love
small

carry your pain
and theirs
like it’s light
so they won’t leave

which somehow
hurts more
than being alone

I’m exactly the person I was always meant to be.

My fortune cookie just told me to “EXPECT A DELIGHTFUL MESSAGE SOON”, please respond.

i know you’re still out there
and i’m still
flashing my mirror in the sun
for someone who stopped looking
i don’t think i’ll ever not love you

Thank you 😊

i tried to keep it casual
like it didn’t matter
but it did
it does
i guess i wanted you
to be the one

i’m not built to feel nothing

nothing like being this lonely
to make a bad idea start to feel soft
memory gets kind
even when the truth wasn’t

She said I was the love of her life about a million times.

But my favorite pictures from Venice is not cats but this combination that I think of as “missed connections.”

when was the moment
you decided i wasn’t
someone worth your love
and why did you stay
only in body
easier for you to fade
harder for me
loving a ghost

I’m with my selves
And others once
Who I could trust
But it’s now rust
And I’m afraid
There’s not an us

I still miss you
I can’t stand this
Pain in my chest

These dark hours
Wanting to go back
All was bright
Rainbows in bloom

Then a friend finds me
Gloom departs
I smile
Turn the moment into art

learning to tolerate
the space between moments

it feels like i can’t breathe
hand on my chest
breathe in
breathe out

i’m right here

Seriously: what more do you need to see?

i had a great tweet right here, just a minute ago. I must have dropped it. 😫

I look for trouble that I don’t want and find it where it wasn’t

watched pride and prejudice
again
still waiting for a slow burn
longing eye contact
dramatic misty field confession
kind of love

but sapphic

Flying on a paper airplane all the way to the paper moon

i imagined more
let myself hope
she chose nothing
went quiet
how original
classic

i’m shrinking inside my self

and it hurts bc i used to be able to be me

live and love loud

now any amount of space i take up it too much

you’ll have to find someone else to bully
i get enough of that in real life
i’m not coming online for it too

send me your favorite songs, the ones you feel in your soul. highlight the lines that bruise you, the ones that glow. tell me how it feels in your body, in the pause after the chorus or the build to the bridge. just two people passing headphones back and forth, like a confession

are you okay?
you’ve hardly said a
hateful bigoted racist thing
since your king
started shitting himself

I like being employed but I feel yearning for time to read during the day something fierce

i just want a vw bus & peace on earth

Things matter.

Life can be so hard, people will let you down time and time again, but nature always wins.

🎶Nobody love me but my house cat. And he could be jivin' too🎶
