Hi! I'm Miss Moxie. Here is where I post the "scraps" of my mind, the little things that swirl around in there that connect me to other people. Tbh, there's a lot of random shit in there, but also some really beautiful things. I hope you enjoy delving into the depths of my mind palace. Check out my blog, missmoxietellsall.wordpress.com , to read some longer mind scraps.

King of Salty Bitches

Socrates: Go ahead and refute me.

Translation: Come at me bitch.

(from Plato's Gorgias)

[booksqouted]

“I delete the picture of him from my phone; I delete his number. I think that if I just delete him enough, it will be like none of it ever happened and my heart won’t hurt so badly.”

— Jenny Han, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

Masons Aren't Free

We are masons of deceit. Brick after brick, Lie after lie, We construct our homes To shelter us, keep us safe and warm And away from harm. Little do we know it's not houses we build But walls.

Love for the Ages

I want to be in love. I want to be so madly in love I can’t think straight. When I think about what I want in this world, something that will make me truly happy, all that comes to mind is love. All I want is to feel my love’s arms wrapped around me, his breath on my neck, his voice in my ear. Sometimes late at night I almost feel him. But then like a shadow into night he disappears, making me wonder if it was just my imagination, or a premonition of my future. “One day my love,” I whisper to the stars. “One day we will find each other. One day we will have our love story. And it will be a love for the ages.”

Words of an Insomniac

It's 2 AM And once again I find that sleep eludes me. It might as well Because I can tell No dreams will be had tonight. My heart is racing My mind is pacing Back and forth till morning comes. It's 2 AM And once again I find that I am in hell.

Let Me Bleed

I want to write. I want my heart to bleed my words Across this paper - Let them flow and flood the world With my hopes and my doubts, My dreams and my nightmares. But of course, It’s only when I have something to say That my mind is finally silent.

Attention Aspiring Poets:

I've been perusing Tumblr for a good 2 hours now, reading people's original poetry as a source of inspiration for my own, and also cause I just like to read poetry, and it brings joy to my heart to read beautiful words. And I just have one thing to say: NO ONE WANTS TO READ YOUR LONG ASS POEMS. Everyone I've read so far has tremendous talent, and a true gift with words, but my god these poems are so fricking long. Poetry is supposed to short little snapshots of life, little snippets that make you feel. Not long ass soliloquies about how hopeless your life is. It's depressing, time consuming, and no one likes it. Just my two cents.

Nature's Heartbeat

With salty air in my lungs And warm sand under my feet I know I am home. I close my eyes And listen to nature’s heart beat: Ebb, flow, ebb, flow - The eternity of the sea.

Look Deeper

Far-reaching roots, Fathomless trench; Deeper than the ocean, Vast as the heavens. Her surface deceives, Tells of shallow water within; But drink from her well And thirst no more.

Hilarious

Omg I was just on the elevator with this guy who was one of those super friendly chatty people, and he was just making small talk about weather and stuff, but when we got to my floor he looks at me and says in a really serious voice, "Hey. You made it." And I almost died laughing 😂

What is love?

Many people think love is a feeling you have about another person. Those people are wrong. To know what I mean by that, check out my latest post on my blog, link's in my bio.

My message to the jerk who decided to feel Ellie up. Don't mess with Moxie.

I Want to Go There

“Play me something,” she requested in a soft voice. “Like what?” He asked. With her gaze fixed intently on nothing, she responded, “Something that will make me forget we are human.” He then preceded to play the most beautiful, melodic song that her ears had ever been blessed to hear, and she let the slow, rhythmic notes of his cello carry her off to that enchanting and mystical place from which those magical sounds came, far away from the cold cruel place where they actually were - where people cheat and deceive; where lies are entangled with truths; where you can spend your whole life feeling mistreated and wronged by the scum of this earth, only to find that at the core, you and they are of the same.

It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.

I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
