paradoxical vanity

Who the hell knows. You find out, let me in on the secret, yeah? Unless stated otherwise, it's not mine. periodically NSFW--always 18+ por favor. **Disclaimer--habitual responder to all e-mails, notes, comments, glances, sighs in my general direction... You've been warned.

There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.

It’s make-believe. Wishful thinking, I know I shouldn’t do it: I should face reality. But reality has too much darkness in it.Too many crows.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

At first glance, she’d appear quiet and reserved like a solitary bird, and as fragile as a wing bone. But if you took a moment, if you looked deeper, you would see she was so much buried light — only waiting for somebody unafraid to get their hands dirty, to come along and unearth her.

When the eyes are tired, we cannot see. When the mind is tired, we cannot think. But when the heart is tired, we cannot anything.

Sometimes I just go to a dark place. It happens. And I really love how you don’t try and change me. You just sit down next to me and hold my hand, quietly, in the dark.

So sorry…

I haven’t been around here for, well, quite a while. On a lark, I pulled tumblr up just to take a peek. Low and behold, I had the loveliest message waiting. Just a simple note letting me know that someone out there was watching for my posts, noticed I hadn’t had anything pop in quite a while, and asking if I was okay. With all that is going on in this strange new world of 2020, the fact that anyone took the time to send a note asking about me was…honestly, shocking and genuinely heartwarming. At this point (with a reply already sitting in your inbox), you know who you are and how much it meant. Until then, hopefully this small thank you and promise to try and do better will suffice. Stay safe all! ~me

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.

I didn’t see her love. I felt it as plainly as the sun.

He says my name the way a wolf howls at the moon, with a raw understanding. A deep respect for what it means when I turn my head.

Trust the overthinker who tells you they love you. They have, most assuredly, thought of every reason not to.
