Lately I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my daily life and it’s obviously interfering with my ability to continuously post content here. I don’t like having a dead blog but things in my life right now are making it difficult to come up with things by myself. If anyone out there has requests for content, please send in requests. It’s easier to answer requests than to come up with all these prompts on my own.

HEIGHT DIFFERENCES

we’re coworkers and i’m literally thirteen inches / thirty-three centimeters shorter than you and i’m always having to get your help with reaching things but it’s okay because i help you clean underneath/inside stuff you can’t fit into so we’re really a great team

Theme Set : Loneliness

Looking at old photographs in your wallet until your throat aches and your eyes sting with longing for the past.

Lying on your bed for hours on end, staring at the ceiling without really seeing anything but simultaneously seeing every single memory that you hold close. 

Feeling heavy and sick to your stomach when you hear about any of your friends making plans together, watching them go about their lives without you. 

Creating conversations in your head that you know will never happen, but getting emotional about them just the same because to you they’re real somehow.

Wanting to slip out of existence for a brief moment, just to see who would notice your absence. 

Holding too tightly to little scraps of memories, ticket stubs and dried flowers and scribbled notes that you passed back and forth in school. 

Mentally begging someone not to let go when they finally hug you, burning the memory into your brain so you have something to keep you warm at night.

Sentence prompt .10

He didn’t deserve mercy at this point, let alone forgiveness.

Writing excerpt #3

There is a world beyond the ones we know. There is a rift between dimensions and a reality parallel to our own that can be leaped into through that rift. I would know better than anyone. I came from that tear in the universe. I was the one who put it there.

we’re having a very in depth discussion on the symbolism of this particular scene in this show and whoa holy shit you’re really observant and your theories are so mind-blowing and complex can we get a coffee or something and talk about this other show

you’re really adorable and shy and today you did karaoke in front of our whole music class and omfg you’re really good and everyone’s clapping and you’re blushing and oh no i think i just realized i have a massive crush on you

some height difference prompts

i'm always scaring you on accident because 1) i walk silently 2) you never see me coming because i’m literally over a foot shorter than you 3) you just really don’t pay any attention to anything below chin level do you 

you always put things on the top shelves because that’s pretty much eye level to you and so you think it makes sense but exCUSE ME, IF YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED YET I’M ACTUALLY THE SIZE OF A SEVENTH GRADE CHILD AND WHY ARE YOU PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE TOP SHELVES THAT’S BASICALLY A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERIC LAYER TO ME YOU SENTIENT TREE

“how tall are you even??” “like six seven i think, idk” “what the fuck” 

i have to stand on a chair to be intimidating when i yell at you and you always start laughing at how ridiculous i look and damn it your cuTE LAUGH ISN’T GOING TO MAKE ME LESS ANGRY STOP HUGGING ME PUT ME DOWN I’M STILL MAD AT YOU

everyone seems to expect me to be some evil angry midget because i’m so short but i’m actually really chill, it’s my tall friend over there who’s pretty much satan 

stop being a snarky salt lord or i will elbow you in the crotch with no regrets. that’s what you get for being tall and an asshole. 

this is really awkward because i swear i know what your face looks like but i always recognize you by the top of your head and today you wore a hoodie/hat/coat so i was looking for you for about half an hour before you took off the hood/hat and i realized who you were
