Want to hear a secret? Powerful people have preyed on me, and I am so afraid that the cycle will continue with me. I fight it every day.

Along a stony pass

The silent worship

Of waiting under the covers with a book

The slipping on of slipper in the nook

of the toes

The knowing that nothing is ever going to be the same

Because we are not secret

We are not

set in stone

It’s honest sadness when you drive away from me; I cannot hold this.

Oggi mi sono sfidata. Oggi ho meditato. Sono arrivata a conclusioni nuove. Ne ho confermato delle vecchie. Ho avuto dei risultati. Sono soffisfatta. Non era perfetto. Ma è giusto così È stato come… vivere. Mi è piaciuto.

Dovrei ripetere.

CONCERN TROLL // Urban Dictionary explains: In an argument (usually a political debate), a concern troll is someone who is on one side of the discussion, but pretends to be a supporter of the other side with "concerns". The idea behind this is that your opponents will take your arguments more seriously if they think you're an ally. // Read: people who want you to do things their way and know how to manipulate you into thinking you came up with the idea to do so yourself. Ever walked out of a meeting wondering how you caved so easily? // Just the latest in a series of things I'm learning in my thirties. So don't offer miracle cures, or helpful diet tips, or how-to-raise-your-child tips to people. Listen. Listen. Learn to empathise. Yes, life is tough. We all know that. And we all hear you cynics when you say millennials are over-entitled brats who constantly feel oppressed. That the world is going to shit because everyone's whinging about how tough life is and - oh no, governments are legislating for a more inclusive society - overreactive and troublesome in practice. Yes, there's trouble when change is implemented. What's NEW? It's what you do about it. Do you want to connect to other humans and learn to give and receive support? Or do you want your opinions to be louder than your ability to be constructive? The latter is attractive in short debates. The former is imperative for survival. You choose.

The year is 2018. Your bills are on autopay. You just got paid and you still have $1200 from the last check. When you want something, you buy it without moving money around. Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.

I told my love I couldn’t find the beauty in life anymore. And he told me that I was the beauty.

thank you so much for existing. your torture on screen helps me cope.

I love the sound my rings make Against my tea cup As my face sinks into its brim  And the rain washes away the morning The light is dim  And I forgive  Myself for existing so jarringly The only joy left in my life Is your laughter My journaling And as many cups of tea As I can bear to  Share With someone like Me

i love winter but i’m a bit excited for spring tbh

gentle, gentle 

comes the changing

of the weather 

as we float together 

into bliss brought forth by 

tender feather

like strokes on paper and inking in and 

gentle pleasure
