DECAYING 🖤

Where beauty has no ebb, decay no flood. But joy is wisdom, time an endless song

Why is that some people only want to hang out with people who hate themselves? Like as soon as they gain confidence and start loving themselves, those kind of people go away. Why is that?

[pratchettquotes]

And yet the eagle will sit for hours on the crag and survey the kingdoms of the world until it spots a distant movement and then it will focus, focus on the small shell wobbling among the bushes down there on the desert. And it will leap...

And a minute later the tortoise finds the world dropping away from it. And it sees the world for the first time, no longer one inch from the ground but five hundred feet above it, and it thinks: what a great friend I have in the eagle.

And then the eagle lets go.

Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Silver Tears

The confetti falls and I think of the snow which is our playground-- the piles where we'd race across, the flakes which would dot your face, and make them sparkle; and the icy streets which would jail us in our recklessness and youth.

Another year begins, yet it starts to rain, and the glitter is nothing more than paper, paint, and shattered starlight.

They offer me a toast, but I don't come alive. The champagne doesn't compare to your electric tongue, possessed with enough voltage to electrocute me many times over. I cling onto you, protecting bits of silver from tarnishing with the morning, but one of us is human, and the other one is an ideal.

High is the summit, on which I place my ideals. Yet morning clouds over hope with its sullen fog, heavy like lead despite me stepping over the threshold.

I want something to stop, but time doesn't let me. Mercury fills in the empty cracks of my heart, and it only provides a place to relax, not to build a house. Lead handcuffs bind my wrists to the floor; if I leave them on long enough, maybe I could imagine you telling me the truth.

I cannot resolve to remain silent--I must know myself. And I find silver tears streaking down to my empty palms-- getting colder and colder, until I seek repentance. --Elda Mengisto

my heart goes out to anyone who was made to feel stupid for caring too much. anyone who was laughed at or "cringed" at for being themselves. anyone who cried silently so they don't be a burden. anyone whose love was taken for granted. anyone who feels unsafe in their own bodies. to anyone who felt devastated because others failed to be humane enough. it's not you, it's them. i hope you find a way to love yourself again. you're not alone. you're important.
