A Fan Of Science

Cursing, sarcasm, and other dark indulgences.

Aries: I often lose hours staring at my hands, wondering why you aren’t in them. Taurus: I want to know the name of every flower, star, season, and river, just so I’ll have endless ways to talk about you forever. Gemini: Sometimes the ones closest to your heart are the ones farthest from your touch, and though your eyes are the punctuation I’ve been mixing with my coffee, I always think I’m in love, but I never deserve it. Cancer: Every time you smile, another star grows its wings, and just like the sun will never be able to touch the ocean floor, sometimes beauty is meant to live in darkness. Leo: I only break the things I love. Virgo: Waking up without you is getting old, and the space between not touching hurts, but you are still the only one I want to love. Libra: Sometimes it can be easier to forgive the person that hurt you, than forgive yourself for letting it happen. Scorpio: All this gravity in the world, and it always pulls me to you. Sagittarius: He said he’d do anything to love me, so why did you do nothing to make me stay? Capricorn: I’m always praying for the sun to not rise if it means I can stay with you longer, but morning is the kiss that doesn’t know the sound of your lips bruising the snow that covers September. Aquarius: You’re not afraid of loneliness, just of being left alone by yourself. Pisces: Ever since I met you, I have been unable to feel anyone else.

You are poetry in a person,“ she spoke softly. Her eyes glistened up toward him, “you make me, a writer, lose all sense of words to describe you. And that both terrifies and exhilarates me in the most comforting way.” Then, after a pause, “But I want you to know that I’m ready, I’m ready for all of it.

I imagine my soul as a small, dim light hopelessly trying to cultivate some sense of warmth, some sense of meaning, in the universe that surrounds me. It’s something I think of often– something I realize at random times during the day. I think of all the magnificent gestures happening among the greater powers of the universe, all coexisting alongside me. A star just exploded while I was brushing my teeth.  The Milky Way continues to move at 1.3 million miles per hour even while I’m eating cereal. Out there, we are surrounded by a space littered with stars. They have lived for eons, seeing the rise and fall of man casually, as if it were that morning’s news. I am just a flicker in their eyes. I look at the potted plant on my windowsill– its small leaves withering from constant neglect. I imagine my own light next to it. See? We are both flickering together. Two steady pulses, side by side. The stars look down at us, they see no difference. And just like that, we vanish.

Be kind to those, as we can’t be kind to ourselves at times.

“Darling, if I had to give you one piece of advice— it would be to respect yourself. At the very least, be kind to yourself. You wouldn’t let others destroy you. So why would you let you destroy yourself? You must marry the concept of love to your being and presence before anything else. You have to respect yourself. Not give yourself up. Not give up on yourself. Not let yourself go. Not lose yourself. Because no matter what it’ll be hard to love yourself. It doesn’t magically happen one day. But if you can respect yourself, if you can learn to be gentle with yourself— loving who you are will come naturally. It always boils down to respecting yourself enough to walk away from what hurts and towards what will enable your growth.”
