I am NOT lost, I am LOADING

That in-between space

That liminal space

That thing that lots of people call exhilarating, and beautiful, and delicious, but I ask –

what? for who? for whom?(?) what part of not knowing where you are is fun?

[redstressball]

A little part of me dies every time you do this.

But it's okay because I would die for you 

So keep on killing me

[heartstrawb]

The mountain is my father

The river is my mother

But the ocean is my first love.
