"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken"

A blog born of creativity, with a hint of spontaneity. A mixture of photography, writing, videos, ceramics, and other pieces of art I manage to concoct. Creative blog, if you want fandom junk and quirky quotes see my blog all-the-lights-are-stars....

I’ve been waiting all year to post this.

So I felt like a horrible person, I had promised to edit pieces of my writing yesterday. But well...I got immersed in some other things, fell asleep, and woke back up and was late so I just went on to bed.  So...I’ll share an extremely short snippet of what I had planned to post. Maybe I’ll get it all finished and posted before the end of this week. (Now I make no promise this passage will make the final cut of the piece I’m working on, but this is a rough idea)

I awoke to a violent chaos of peace and a loud silence To a young man who murdered me with a piercing love That distorted scene I do remember gravel inquiring,“Was it a sweet dream you were drowning in?”          “No, I was temporarily residing in a beautiful nightmare..”          “Oh?” as he pressed lips to my hand, rolling tendrils of an unspoken fear. My staccato response of mirth immersed him in a tempered confusion.

“Don’t worry love, I do not lust for the world of dreams, I enjoy far too much the sweet bitterness of our reality.”

Many apologizes for the onslaught of my ceramic pieces.

Was doing inventory and reorganizing my storage space for them today, and decided “ah what the hey, let’s photograph these things finally” Granted is only a sliver of my collection. One of these days I may unload my other boxes.

Don’t ever let someone (and don’t ever tell someone else) that they are not allowed to feel the way they do through statements like “___________ has it worse than you.” We all have bad things happen to us. There is no set “standard”, or “scale,” to measure how bad a situation/event is to each person. In fact, it would be impossible to ever create a scale/standard to set against oneself. You are the only person who is ever going to experience that particular situation/event in that particular context. No one else will ever experience the exact same thing you have experienced and you will never experience the exact same incident as someone else. So there is no real way to do such a comparison. 

You are allowed the feelings, thoughts, emotions, etc. that you experience as a result of whatever bad situation you have faced/may be facing, because you are the only “you” that will ever face that unique situation.
