Below the Crimson Skies

Writing Over Talking, any day!

If sitting around doing nothing makes you feel guilty, please know that its capitalism, which bases your entire self-worth on producing value.

Just "being" is enough. Your inherent value isn't decided by the money you earn, the hobbies you've, or how productive you're.

So, go ahead and take a break if you need to.

Your chance at showing a middle finger to capitalism and it's poisonously exploitative tendency of reducing all humans to how "productive" they're.

I feel cheated by the fact that out of a set of 3 panties I bought, one fits me perfectly, while the other two are uncomfortably tight.

Why is it so.

Is this another rule of how women clothing supposedly works?

I'm not horny, I'm craving a physical affirmation of the curves and crevices, the bumps and sacks of fat, in my body.

You've grown up when you realize someone's imperfections make them so much more endearing.

You've grown up when you start finding beauty in unkempt hair, an awkward gait, inconspicuous gestures, and honest mistakes.

You're far more forgiving, you take much less words.

You also know how fleeting forever actually is.

So, you just sit back, and adore all that's pure.

Until your fingers can no longer hold the golden sand!

I was listening to "Why won't you Date Me" hosted by Nicole Byer. The guest was Eliza Skinner. She mentioned how ghosting should instead be called hiding a rabbit inside a shoe box under your bed.

You know it's there, you know you've to feed it, or it will die. But you choose to ignore it.

I think that's a perfectly apt comparison and I can't stop thinking about it.

I want someone with whom I can watch serial killer documentaries and discuss the pointlessness of life.

The secret is to derive happiness from conventially inconsequential things

Having a beautiful imagination is a shame. The real world can never fucking match it.

I couldn't quit it because I had been alone much of my life. To be alone again meant an energy my aging had confiscated. And even though I was still alone with him, a future was the crumb of consolation.

If you tell me, you've grown up

I'll say that you're kidding me

Don't you still cry when you don't get your favorite doll?

That doll you used to ogle at everyday while passing through the street

She was the stars twinkling in your eyes, the moon in the cloudy nights

She used to stay just past the glass windows, but oh she was so far off

Running your fingers through her curly hair was your ultimate fantasy, but alas you were too scared to touch her

What if, she breaks down, wrinkles to dust, or her pretty face loses its sheen

That doll which pierces your heart when you see it cradling someone else's embrace

That doll which is more precious than all the world's treasures combined because you can never have it
