Isn’t life weird.

That we confine ourselves to the limits we have experienced in our lifetime.

We think, wow, ‘I’m a great architect or teacher or singer’

But you have never flown a plane to know how great of a pilot you could be.

You have never tried to write a book to know you could be the best selling author.

Or planted a garden to know you could be the best French beans farmer owning a multimillion dollar company.

We limit who we could be by thinking that who we are, is all we could ever be.

Give yourself permission to be malleable.

Be water, my friend 💐.

“Poems, even when narrative, do not resemble stories. All stories are about battles, of one kind or another, which end in victory or defeat. Everything moves towards the end, when the outcome will be known. Poems, regardless of any outcome, cross the battlefields, tending the wounded, listening to the wild monologues of the triumphant or the fearful. They bring a kind of peace. Not by anaesthesia or easy reassurance, but by recognition and the promise that what has been experienced cannot disappear as if it had never been. Yet the promise is not of a monument… The promise is that language has acknowledged, has given shelter, to the experience which demanded, which cried out.” — John Berger, And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos existential-celestial

bubble bath, champagne, faux fur 🌹

bubble bath: do you have any routines before bedtime? like skin care, etc. what are they?

i'm a huge insomniac so my real nightly routine is popping 5mg of melatonin and staring up at my ceiling for three hours before my brain exhausts itself to sleep but i do try to do 10 mins of mindfulness nightly.

champagne: what topic could you talk about for hours?

books! literature!! poetry! whether that's class-assigned shakespeare or the newest YA release ppl have to force me to shut up

faux fur: describe your wardrobe.

a lot of skater dresses- i'm not a big fan of matching clothes and deciding outfits so dresses are perfect for me. i also have this one denim jacket i wear all the time it has floral embroidery and it's LOVELY

send me luxury asks 🌹

i am strong. i am going to beat this. for all of the pain that i may feel, for all of the leaves that have yet to fall-- i am here for all of this. this depression won’t defeat me. i am victorious. i am the slayer of demons and bad dreams. i am the voice that will be heard. for all the oceans that had to birth winter to let go of lovers, for every voice caught in the crossfire of a fairytale without a prince, for every hand that was forced to grow calluses over names that can't hear their heartbeat - it's sad to think that we went through it all just to be strangers again, but I'll stay with you - even when you push.
