'That's what I love now: focusing so hard the rest of the room falls away.'

Jessica Gross, from Open Wide

You

Why is it that you can do anything,

But I am punished for being whole,

The space you left in me,

Took my soul.

You act as an owner,

But I am no slave,

What was taken from me,

I freely gave.

I am not your mother,

Your wound is clear,

You were never whole,

Despite me near.

I ate your wound,

I called it love,

Despite the messages,

Blocked from above.

But now I can see it all,

The universal truth,

What you took from me,

The space you left there,

Was not yours to abuse.

You smiled adoringly,

Your stomach a mess,

You run from truth,

When you took my kiss.

But now I give it all back,

All the wounds for you,

I ate my truth,

I return yours back to you.

The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear…

The thing about people who wanted to show you things was that sometimes their interest in granting you knowledge was laced with a little voyeuristic sadism. They were waiting for the Look or the Reaction, and they didn't care what it was so long as it inflicted some kind of discomfort.

“How do you know if something is out of the ordinary when you don't know if your instruments would register the progressions?”

INFP vs INFJ

Mirroring and Absorbing are not the same.

If you do not spend time getting to know yourself, you will end up absorbing everyone else’s random and conflicting ideas about you. Knowing who you are on a very deep and intimate level is the best way to protect yourself from internalizing disempowering opinions from others. – Megan Lane
