we danced in the kitchen.

the chipping yellow linoleum beneath our feet.

for my birthdays.

for my wedding.

for all the things i knew you would miss.

we were both too young to say goodbye.

you didn’t understand.

but i did.

this is a super simple about page with sections for about (obviously!), social media, and friends. there are markers in the code for how to customise to hopefully make editing this pretty easy!

theme five: honeysuckle — a theme aimed at text-heavy and writing blogs, but works with any kind of posts. focuses on readable text and larger post sizes. (updated may 5, 2020)

preview / code: pastebin, github

features:

optional 70px x 70px icon

post sizes: 450px, 500px, 540px, 600px, 650px

optional search bar

show/hide/hover tags, show/hide note count on index page

NEW: improved options for text styling — option for left or justified text, more colours, and more

NEW: improved compatibility for npf photosets, and will convert the first npf photoset in a post to a regular photoset

up to 5 custom links, all colours customizable

responsive for mobile devices

FIXES: fixed issue where sidebar wasn’t scrolling properly when content overflowed, fixed issue where mobile slide-in sidebar would sometimes disappear after resizing the browser window

note: tumblr’s customize page is buggy as hell. if something doesn’t look right, try switching all the options on and off, and then save and exit. it should look fine on your actual blog.

to the girl i thought i'd be ~ a.s.

Rainer Maria Rilke

[iammeantforthestars]

We always laughed about our yellow door, How our house was simple and plain. With its black tiled roof, And painted white front. Except our yellow front door.

And now, When I walk past the yellow doors downtown, The ones on the restaurant, Or the toy store, I think of home, I think of you, And our yellow front door.

~a.c.s

we danced in the kitchen. you spinning me; care free. those are the fading memories i whisper to. whispering happy birthday, to a ghost.

~a.c.s.

— love is for the hopeless

[iammeantforthestars]

pink became good again before it was "a girl" color that i was supposed to like so i didn't so i forced myself to push the words "i hate pink" "i don't wear pink" past my pink lips because something else didn't make sense now those knots are unfurled and pink became good again because what was skewed was girl girl not pink and pink became good again

I wish I could write

Woven stories

And profound poetry

But there seems to be a something in my way

It might be impatience

Or it might be a lack of talent

But either way there is something in my writing that is not what I want it to be

The paragraphs are stilted

And the words are too sharp

It’s never what I imagined

Especially when there are no words at all
