Maya C. Popa, from Wound is the Origin of Wonder: Poems: “Wound is the origin of wonder”

“Every day I get more convinced that I was created for you alone. It is through your eyes that I saw the world; on your lips my poems were born. Without you, my life is a wasteland. I am colorless, tasteless, smelling like a land never visited by rain.”

— Rawda el-Haj, tr. & ed. Adil Babikir, Modern Sudanese Poetry: An Anthology; “Heart’s Confessions”

"Your smile fills me with sunshine, as if you were made of nature.. your smile fills me with life, yes, I'm sure. If you took a moment to look in the mirror, you would just see something normal.. but what I see is something that's as beautiful as spring, like the birds singing and nesting, laying eggs. I come alive when you are around, to the point that I'm exhilarated to be alive.. it just feels so right to be by your side."

You are a force of nature more beautiful than life - eUë

“It’s quiet here between the trees and I can almost feel the weight of all the centuries begin to crack and peel. I breathe and rebreathe oxygen, what was and what will be, and for a moment as I walk it’s just the earth and me.”

— Oxygen, Ellis Nightingale

"Dolce far Niente" is an Italian and one of my favorite saying which means "the sweetness of doing nothing". It does not mean being lazy, it’s the idea of finding pleasure in relaxation. The ability to completely enjoy and savor a moment.

“Think of me forever assigned to a period, a place, a people. Remember me in stories—not the first time we met, not the last, a time in between.”

— Michael Kleber-Diggs, from his poem ‘Gloria Mundi’, published on Poetry Unbound, September 30, 2022 (via kitchen-light)

we are all very lonely and desperate for friendship i dont think you will really embarrass yourself by unabashedly seeking it out. i think you will find many other people are also looking for it. people will gravitate towards you if you just let them. its going to be fine

and by all that i mean go out regularly join clubs text people first (new or old/distant friends) and ask them to hang out with you. dont just day dream about it. my working theory is that we are all nervous and stir crazy from isolation and that we can find some comfort in that and use it to our advantage. ok?

oh to be a star besides another connected by an intangible yet imperishable thread that forms such a phenomenal bond that gets to be called a constellation.

“In my eyes, good conversation is the birthplace of true attraction. So open up and share with me every encounter and experience that shaped you into who you are today. Tell me all about your hopes and dreams and captivate me with your passions. Arouse my curiosity and you’ll have my attention.”

— Beau Taplin

don’t let this world’s obsession with youth rob you of the big and small joys of adulthood. i spent most of my teenage years and early twenties struggling with my mental health. but there’s no timeline for happiness. for many people, getting older and growing up means having more chances to redefine their values, find their path and stability in life. some people go to college in their forties. some people marry in their sixties. some people recover better after their thirties. there’s no timeline for this kind of stuff. your childhood and teenage years won’t be the only chance you have at experiencing freedom and joy.
