im obsessed

[ashstfu]

propaganda i am not falling for:

always moving on. some goodbyes need to rot a little. some griefs need to be held in the mouth like a stone.

beauty defined by algorithms. beauty exists in crow feet and smile lines

pretending to be chill. i’m not chill. i care deeply and inconveniently. i read into things. i write poems about eye contact

beige apartments with no soul. give me bookshelves and incense and loud art

sneaky links and unclear intentions. i want devotion. and also clarity

treating books as decor. read them. dog-ear them. argue with them in the margins

[partialbirthabortion]

We owe all the gay men and women who came before us an incalculable debt for living in the world they did and still making art, writing poetry, taking pictures of themselves loving the people they loved. Please love each other just as fiercely as they must have looked to the future and loved us.

Grief is perhaps the last and final translation of love. This is the last act of loving someone. And you realize that it will never end. You get to do this to translate this last act of love for the rest of your life.

grief is so crazy like what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. does she know i loved her. i miss her so much. i catch myself doing things she used to do. i wish i could call her. i miss her so much. i do a crossword puzzle. i cry while washing the dishes. does she know i loved her? my heart feels like a hummingbird. i miss her so much. what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. what if i forget.

right now you might be in a situation that you think you won’t survive but six months ago you were in a situation that you didn’t think you’d survive and two years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you’d survive and the point is you will always surprise yourself and you will always make it through

[mothersrevenge]

I no longer care to think about how permanent or non permanent love is. Love is fluid and it always comes back. In whatever form it is meant to. Love is all around if you look close enough.

Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

[heeeeycerulean]

I read a long Reddit post about coping with breakups, and the author compared love to a surge of happy chemicals being released all at once. Losing that person triggers intense withdrawal symptoms, much like an addiction, and the only way to recover is through complete abstinence.

I’m committed to moving on with discipline, but I won’t pretend it doesn’t hurt. Even on my best days, I know the pain will still be there, but I’m holding on to the hope that it will get easier.

You will not stay stuck in the same patterns forever. You are capable of change. It might be small and you may not be able to see the change day to day, but over time things will get better.
