It spoke to you so strangely, in a voice that slipped between waves of softly droning static from a television screen.

Don’t reach for the blade, as I already have nearly pressed it into my skin, slicing, carving, weeping blood. Instead, reach for the bleeding ink—black, bronze, silver, red. Show the world, the galaxies— brand yourself with your pain in bold words, symbols, teeth, creatures. Give conscious form to the darkness and let it emanate its power...and then eventually fade away. And if the light is swallowed once more, there will be a clean canvas waiting and welcoming your muted language.

“I didn’t know my voice, if one were given me would be so full of grief, my sentences like cries strung together. I didn’t even know I felt grief until that word came, until I felt rain streaming from me.”

Wild Iris; Trillium, Louise Glück

And there is a hole in me / that I can’t describe / like looking in the mirror and seeing the girl you were before it happened / wondering how you go back / to before, to before

— Hannah Green, from “I am a girl with a human shaped hole, looking in a clear window, wondering how this could happen to me.” ©

Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future

Alternatively: I went through periods of depression so frequent and intense that I never considered that I’d actually make it to my 20s so now I’m kinda just making it up as I go

[strange--birds]

Both are very relevant as I am now turning 20...
