steady being

//\\ vocabulary defines our experience and we live the experience

"...for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."

— George Eliot, from Middlemarch

well i guess there were some times

expanses, stretched on landscape canvas

but no mostly it’s been a girl and then a teen and then a woman

distanced and

sad and

my ex friend once wrote that basically, on tumblr actually and i

well, we were both fucked up

and now i see what my now friend again

saw -

i know it’s possible to

… be happy

but i don’t know what i’m doing

or where i am

i’m just here

realizing i

am empty
