come on, don’t leave me,

it can’t be that easy babe

if you believe me, i guess i’ll get on a plane

fly to your city, excited to see your face

hold me, console me, and then i’ll leave without a trace

5 years later, thinking about a 6-month relationship, that ended with a 7-page letter

enough time has passed for me to finally laugh at our mistakes

There’s a line I read once, by an Egyptian poet whose name I cannot remember: that a diary’s function is not to show you who you are, but who it is you have ceased to be.

— Sean Michaels, Do You Remember Being Born: A Novel (Astra House, September 5, 2023)

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

in high school I found out a guy in my english class had an ancestor who was on the opposite side of the samurai rebellion in which my great great grandfather was meant to be executed (for losing) but he ran away and hid for the rest of his life and the guy was like “….damn. good for him. now we’re both here to write bad essays on pride and prejudice.”
