This isn’t as good as real life
im lying down in bed at night, terrified of myself
i long for a somewhat simple life now.
a cottage, in the woods, old clothes, a cd player, no wifi, worn sheets, dishes, homecooked food.
long walk every day, a consistent yoga practice, maybe a sense of peace.
like a fighter, in that fantasy book you’re reading, worrying about what will happen ”when all this is over”.
plants, a garden, herbs, sunflowers, a few cats.
of course, a nearby town where i can go buy food.
but imagine having the time, the time to be quiet, time to read, to paint again.
i’m terrified and i long for it.
i’ll go to the city every once in a while, to meet my family, to hear about my friends adventures.
of course, there is the money question. how will i make money up there? i have no idea, but i guess we’ll see. maybe i’ll find work at the university, and i can spend time up there working on my papers and such. or, i’ll find a career in art. imagine painting things up there, then sending them out to the world.
it would be nice, you know.
perhaps, you’d come with me, one day.
perhaps, you’d return, torn by the world, but you, my soulmate, maybe you would come back to me.
it would be nice, you know.
corners of mouth
curled upwards
weak
mad
there
something youd consider rare
shadows are dancing
martina and zella pouribg their souls over me
a bit more rational than midnight
but i now see the fruit of my labor
and it’s not pretty
i stop the pulling
and examine my tools
examine my words
examine my memories
i haven’t felt this way in a long time
guess this was why the black ink was my saviour
my weapon of choice
no colors to be found in this black and white, quiet world
i feel at home
but not quite
like i’ve been on a very long vacation
this was why i always stayed up so late in autumn
i get it now
i haven’t felt this way in a very long time
I can’t say
I’m numb but I feel everything
My voice is quiet but my thoughts are loud
I feel the weight of the world pushing me to the ground, I desperately want to get up but then again I think it may be better if I stay down.
If I say these things to you it won’t matter so much, you’ll listen, only listen.
I have all these hopes and dreams but I feel helpless in achieving them. I’m stuck.
The world is spinning so fast I can’t lift my feet off the ground.
I’m not good enough I tell myself this on a daily basis. Maybe if I say it enough others will start to believe me, what will I do then?
My nerves cry out from the tips of my fingers my heart is always at a quickened pace, sometimes it’s so loud I can hear it in my ears. Sometimes that’s the only thing I hear.
I wait for words to flash across my screen or a phone to ring… but they never do.
Silly me.
Where did this all start? When did I start being stuck? When can I stop?
Was it you?
Are you the reason I feel sick
the thought of wasted life.
Wasted time.
My time.
No that’s not it…
I opened this door to this feeling in the pit of my stomach, but that wasn’t enough so I opened a window and then another and a other.
Now I’m only filled with panic it’s if the house is on fire but I’m fine with sitting here while it burns.
It’s burning me from the inside out and no one can stop it not even me.
The fire started long ago I can almost remember it
My heart beating so fast the silence so loud…
My world felt like everything was ending
Then it all stoped
I forgot but I remember now
Squatters rights
Sat in circles engulfed in putrid smoke a green hazy libation swallowing another day and laughter and foolishness a word disassociation game and the higher reasons why they came together and all the non-committal desires they have to make a change
Loud parties raging shaking the walls stacked amplifiers crack the air above the background humming electric youth are gathered there
Beer cans fill with ashes a dancing girl with double wine some were dressed in leather dreadlocks fly a pit of limbs turning cyclic hardcore will never die
and neighbours and landlords and councillors unite these hellish noise freaks have little respect for heart attacks and strokes the sixth section of the old squatters rights hung like a talisman to secure the abode
Stuffed chicken up the chimney the doors were all blocked ripped plaster from the hallways and the carpets were soaked and on to the next place no rent paid notice for eviction came too late they’ve gone away anyway
ATTENTION PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I think i have it now and i appreciate it.
I’ve just made a bet against my Dad that if this post gets 2 million notes then i can get a Puppy. [like the one underneath]
I didn’t realise how much 2 million was and i couldn’t take that number down now. It should look like 2,000,000 in the notes bar.
He’s convinced that this will never reach that number, and very confident about it so Let’s prove him wrong!! He thinks this will get about 25 notes beofre it’s left in the dust.
You don’t have to do it for me. But for the point and to prove him wrong. He has to pay and everything so let’s make him suffer with it!!
I’m counting on you!!!
Remember it’s 2,000,000!
REBLOG PEOPLE

yellow / my love’s in paris
veggie ragu coming up my throat
hot chocolate from this morning still on my mind
throat is itching
dont want me to make sounds
but still, still i’m singing
Like ive done all the night
halsey on the toilet
staying in this head
billions of people
i cant finish her hair
the shades of brown no they just aint enough
Like her empty gold and the love that she gives?

Let me hide inside thecotton
Let me drop, drop my paintbrush
Then i go on tumblr
I only need to type in t
and the rest fills in automatically
my loves in paris
and im stuck in my skull
screaming it out
inte som maj
My loves in paris x3
What if this summer was the only taste of real love i’ll ever get?
If that is the case, i will savour those words whispered on the bench outside of the cafeteria in the summer friday morning sun forever. When she whispered ”my boyfriend is a cult leader” the first time. And Martin. I will be firever thankful for bringing us together. That time i was so angry, the words we exchanged in the bathroom outside of the school classroom. The summer afternoon, walking through tullinge, wanting to show you my favorite places. Endless nights chatting. The time we bought gifflar and loka crush after a fotoklubb. Then fell asleep in front of lord of the rings. And sigrid’s, of course. That night we walked for four hours. When you kater said that was one of your wildest and happiest memories. And it involved me. Not him. Of course, tge sleepovrr at your place, when we stayed up with alva forever and talked about our demons. When you walked and dropped the water bottle, oh boyy. When i met you at the train station. When you told me about how he had hiven you bruises for the first time. How you cried at espresso house. Sitting by the sea. I remember you liking my outfit. When you texted me saying you felt sad, and i convinced you to meet me. Was it in october? When you told me about the blade cutting into your thigh and wrist. His fist hitting you the day after. Threatening you with a knife. How we hugged. Your tears against my jacket. In the middle of stockholm, the cars racing by. I tried to stop you. You went there.
We met again, a few weeks later. I had made a rock-hard shell around me. Summer was over. This belonged to the summer. With the rain falling outside, I couldn’t handle it anymore.
Another few weeks. I heard he is seeing a psychaiatrist now. You had finally found a good therapist. Maybe you don’t need me anymore.
I dont even know what drove us apart. Is it me seeking space? You seeking space? School, different schools, drifting apart? Looking for safety and happiness?
But the feelings still hit. I still lay awake at night, sometimes, listening ti old music, our old music, trying to penetrate the shell i’ve built around myself. I don’t know if i’ll ever succeed, if you’ll even be alive next summer. If we will be working, be busy.
But i do know, that i love you. In every way possible, in a hurt, torn-apart way, in my own way, i love you. And let me never forget that.
now
or never
the words
the thoughts
they’re filling my head
i tell them
i don’t want to fight right now
and i try
and i fail
and i try
and i fail
and i try
and i tell myself
now
now
now
now or never
they tell me,
50 years from now
you’ll remember this moment
everyone remembers this moment
but i don’t want to fight right now
i just wanna do it
now
I dont think i can write 1000 more words today im sorfy nanowrimo
nanowrimo culture is being really close to crying of anxiety but still finishing your word count of the day because you are insane
Eila steg på tåget, lyckades få en sottplats, vid gången. Hon älskade att vara i morgonrusningen, se alla dessa människor leva sitt liv. Hon kände sig alltid som ett spöke, någon som man visste inte skulle vara där, som svävade några centimeter över markytan. Spröda gitarrsträngar och orgelsträngar tog henne framåt. Hon älskade att titta på medelklassen, som gjorde det här varenda dag. Hon förstod inte hur de kunde leva ett sånt liv, hon hoppades också att hon aldrig skulle vilja leva ett sånt liv. Så... säkert. Att ha barn, partner, bostad, pengar.
Håret blåste frsmför hennes ansikte i rulltrappan, kalluften kom emot henne som en vägg. Kappan täckte kläderna från natten, hon visste inte om hon var på väg hem till arvid eller till skolan där hon en gång gått. Svarta skinnhandskar i hand fortsatte hon gå.
somewhere, on her way to something,
in a lonely hotel room,
there sits a girl.
her name is unknown to the world,
but the world is not unknown to her.
she has it all by her fingertips.
you call me a dreamer?
more like a maker of nightmares
