“Seeking joy has been an active practice, because joy doesn’t come easily for me. I’m prone to long periods of fog, as you’ve called it, and if I don’t seek (and make) light, I would stay in it even longer, would possibly never emerge. I swear by keeping routines, which includes taking care of my body—eating enough, sleeping and waking at regular times, getting fresh air, that sort of thing. I also put limits on things that smother my joy; for me, this is primarily the internet, which provides endless messaging that I am not doing enough, am not good enough, and just generally steals my attention and energy, which I would prefer to use on things which nourish me. I believe in the power of creating small joys, instead of waiting for a big one to arrive miraculously in your life. I made a list of these joys so I can refer to it when I’m deeper in the fog, like a menu to order from. 100 joys. They’re simple, but effective—things like bubble baths, calling a friend, dancing, buying flowers, eating dark chocolate, a cup of tea. Some months, I have to challenge myself to meet a quota, when I’m feeling very down. It helps. Little step after little step. Little light after little light.”

— Leila Chatti, from an interview with Sneha Subramanian Kanta in Parentheses Journal, Issue 10

I miss being in someone’s arms…all of that. I miss intimacy.

don’t know if that’s pathetic or what.

Ugh

[splendid-circumstance]

Radically trying to accept the past. Mistakes. Disrespect is all the closure I need. I tell myself. But I get upset too, I resent I know it’s bad. But it’s not right to waste time. Someone’s time. We are all here briefly…fleeting…everything is fleeting…I try to stand in the sun a bit longer. For those who can’t anymore.

-

Not honest enough

To hold space

For true feelings

I regret my darkest days

For some would wish to stand in the sun

A moment more.

-

I know better

Much better

Than to make homes of people

But I admit that you’re arms

Were my favorite place to hide

Hold someone you love if you can.

Grief is a bitch.

And my stream of consciousness is over now. I’m feeling a lot better.

[splendid-circumstance]

I know nobody looks at this shit.

Im in arms because I miss being in love.

I don’t know.

Is it really too much to want someone around for the good and the bad?

My heart is honestly broken.

I miss having someone.
