Go And Catch A Falling Star

Elena, 20s, half daydreaming/half yearning.

[figlip]

the way I speak to myself is so crucial to my growth… the more I pay attention to the use of my words, the more I realize how determined I was to jibe and taunt myself. everything I pour my love into should make things enough. I am valuable and worthy and both my heart and intentions are pure. I deserve all good things coming my way. and so do you.

I never knew people lived so beautifully.

[ID of the poem "At Sunset" by Jason Shinder:

Your death must be loved this much.

You have to know the grief—now. / Standing by the water’s edge,

looking down at the wave

touching you. You have to lie, / stiff, arms folded, on a heap of earth

and see how far the darkness

will take you. I mean it, this, now— / before the ghost the cold leaves

in your breath, rises;

before the toes are put together / inside the shoes. There it is—the goddamn

orange-going-into-rose descending

circle of beauty and time. / You have nothing to be sad about.

END ID.]

And so nothing is ever lost. People do return to you, you live with them inside you until a few years later they are back with you again.

[text ID: I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, / in secret, between the shadow and the soul.]

“I want you to love yourself enough not to feed yourself dry sandwiches for dinner, or skip eating altogether. The way you feel about food sits hand to hand with the way you feel about yourself, and if you eat happily and wholeheartedly, food will make you strong. I want you to feel fine about the messiness of your illogical, impulsive appetite, and sometimes overeat, sometimes undereat, and still hold tight in your self-care.”

— Ruby Tandoh, from Eat Up: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want
