wishes on dead stars

I’m a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I’m lazy, yet I’m ambitious. I don’t like myself, but I also love who I am. I’m a conflicted contradiction. If I can’t figure myself out, there’s no way anyone else has.

“After screaming, [Cassandra] calls out the name of Apollo sixth times, then again a seventh time, but the seventh time, by shifting the inflexion of the name slightly, she shows its etymology. Apollo’s name is cognate with the Greek verb apollesthai, “to destroy utterly, kill, slay, demolish, lay waste.” By crying out “Apollon emos”, Cassandra can designate the god as “my Apollo” and “my destroyer” at the same time in the same words.”

— Anne Carson, excerpt of Cassandra Float Can, from Float (via antigonick)

De vez en cuando

el amor

se imprime en el pecho

y tenes ganas de sacar la cabeza por la ventanilla

mientras el viento te enfria la cara

y las hojas de otoño

se quiebran ante la indiferencia

De vez en cuando vomitas una y otra vez

la vida entera

y no entendes

por qué el verano

a veces

es mas triste que el invierno

going into second hand bookstores and seeing the worn out paperback you’ve been trying to find for months and finding an odd bookmark inside the musty pages feels like divine providence

i want to be someone else’s safety. even nonromantically. i want to be “hey can i tell you something?” i want to be - i tried something new and i’m a little scared but i wanted to show you. i want to be “i knew i could trust you”. i want to be okay to hold the hand of, always ready to listen, always trying. even if i don’t get it perfect, you know? i just want to be a place other people can relax and be themselves and not worry for a fraction of an instant.
