Rebecca Solnit at Shakespeare and Co, 6/26/18

Me, lying in bed with my partner, about to turn off the lights: ok sweetpea, I think I should turn off the light now so we can get some rest. You wanna go to sleep?

My partner, blinking slowly with sleepiness: mhmmm... can I take you with me?

[Image is an artist’s rendering of a set of “Letters to who I was 5 years ago.” The letters say:

-there are good days and bad days

-it gets quieter but it never really goes away

-you don’t think about them as much anymore

-you don’t end up where you planned but it turns out ok

-you make new friends

-the mistakes you make, no one else remembers them

-you will not regret continuing the life you build around you

-you are doing just fine.]

I have never been a lonely god but when he kissed my mouth I could relate to the creation of a varied terrain like Braille under my foot I cannot say for sure where this is going.

I would make myself breakfast. I would make my bed. I would talk to my mother daily. I would go to job interviews. I would spend a few hours a day working on my thesis at the coffee shop. I would be one of those women at the coffee shop, sipping a coffee, laptop open, looking serious and productive. I would take meds every day that would keep me steady, and have a quiet, simple life. Or I wouldn’t. I would get out and just fuck everything up again. I run my hand against the wall. Keisha laughs at something in a magazine. The bed suddenly feels comfortable, and I curl up in a fetal position. Dear world, I’m sorry, but I don’t know if I will ever be the kind of person who can live with you.
