guys if you see me posting a poem that I already posted 3 years ago-- shhh. it means I stumbled upon it again, had forgotten it entirely, and felt the same emotional response as last time and while I can take that as a sad indication of my memory and mental status, I choose to find the beauty in it. I've always said this blog is a touch stone for my moods, and if something resonates with me now in a way that it did 5 years ago, then I find it comforting to know that despite everything changing around me and within me, I still am touched by the art I am touched by.

#personal #i'll prob delete this #just sometimes I worry that I posted something again and my memory is failing #but I don't think that's a fair way to treat myself.

Michael Ondaatje, "5 a.m."

#and what if I cried #on youth #on time #based on the accidental change of speed #in a friend’s camera into slow motion #sir.
