“unwanted memory” perfectly captures what it’s like trying to forget something. the way trying to forget only makes you remember more.

It’s a pity when we need to give the memories of people we once loved negative connotations in order to forget, that was in the back of my mind when writing it. Then, I didn’t know what was worse; being the one who needs to forget, or being the one that needs to be forgotten. It seems so unnecessary. I mean, why can’t we keep these memories in the pureness of when we lived them? But then again, moving on can be an arduous task. Especially if the heart doesn’t want to. I guess it’s just the mind’s counteraction. A natural coping mechanism.

your poem in response to the prompt “some day” gave me a feeling i don’t know how to put into words

then i shall accept the wild beating of your heart, two clovers, and your favorite shade of dawn light as representation of your feelings instead of words. i’m so v glad u liked it!! it’s a favorite of mine too

an ode to dry shampoo is one of my favorite poems i’ve heard in a while, and the delivery of it was incredible. you have such a soothing voice and are so expressive when you perform poems, you belong on a stage.

doing a poetry tour is a secret dream of mine so hearing this just made my heart flutter nonstop. i adore you. thank you, so so much, for listening & for being so incredibly kind.

‘perhaps you and i will live forever in almosts and could have beens’ this is simultaneously my biggest fear and my greatest wish, fuck.

I honestly wouldn’t mind discussing it with you. It’s interesting that it’s both your biggest fear and wish.

it is 12:48 where i am and i am reading your writing and it's so good i am crying and it's the first thing i've felt all day oh my god

thank you so much for this. i know i hardly ever post here–i work long hours at a stressful job and i’m working on my novel in what little spare time i have–but the fact that people still read and enjoy my work here, the fact that it makes someone feel something, is all the encouragement i need to keep going. i hope the world is soft and kind to you today and every day. <3
