I never got over anything. I miss everyone and everything. nostalgia and grief kill me every day. oh and I also love going on walks.

mary oliver, ‘from this river, when i was a child, i used to drink’

[ID: “‘What, precisely, will you grieve for?’ For the river. For myself, my lost joyfulness. For the children who will not know what a river can be—a friend, a companion, a hint of heaven.” end ID]

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

"Everything that needs to be said has

already been said. But, since no one was

listening, everything must be said again."

- André Gide (1869 -1951)
