“February says to me something has stopped tugging on her sweater. Today there is a thick warmth seeping through our cracks. I imagine feeling like the sky flushed pink & pried open. I hide in the deepest cut of my chest. I am learning a new language: one that translates to mean I am enough. My mouth blooming & all.”

— Ana Carrizo, “February”

thinking about how seeking connection and seeking meaning are inevitably interconnected... when you’re lonely you tend to desperately want meaning, you want to understand what all this life has under the surface .... and when you have other people, when you have love, then you still want meaning but it feels just a little less urgent; it feels almost alright to live in the daily and treasure your time with loved ones... i think it’s because when you feel truly alone and like an island adrift in a vast world, you’re more aware that no answers are going to be forthcoming, and you have to reach an understanding with the questions existence poses by yourself. but when you have others, when you feel connected to a bigger ecosystem than yourself, it feels less... confusing? it’s as if having a sense of connection aids one’s existential understanding and clarity
