Thank you girl

December 24th and we’re through again. This time for good I know because I didn’t throw you out — and anyway we waved. No shoes. No angry doors. We folded clothes and went our separate ways. You left behind that flannel shirt of yours I liked but remembered to take your toothbrush. Where are you tonight? Richard, it’s Christmas Eve again and old ghosts come back home. I’m sitting by the Christmas tree wondering where did we go wrong. Okay, we didn’t work, and all memories to tell you the truth aren’t good. But sometimes there were good times. Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep beside me and never dreamed afraid. There should be stars for great wars like ours. There ought to be awards and plenty of champagne for the survivors. After all the years of degradations, the several holidays of failure, there should be something to commemorate the pain. Someday we’ll forget that great Brazil disaster. Till then, Richard, I wish you well. I wish you love affairs and plenty of hot water, and women kinder than I treated you. I forget the reason, but I loved you once, remember? Maybe in this season, drunk and sentimental, I’m willing to admit a part of me, crazed and kamikaze, ripe for anarchy, loves still.

Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.

If all I am is what I am perceived to be than what room is there left for me to be me? There is too much pain in being painted an angel. I am one mistake away from the becoming the devil. I can't imagine the fall. All these people say they wouldn't be here without me, but yet I am the only reason I don't want to be here at all. Who am I if not the mask I wear? Who am I if not the things I think behind a closed mind? Are they not the same? There's a million different people living inside my mind. Perhaps I'm a collection of everyone I have ever loved. That is both my only redeeming quality and my demise. I'm tired of trying to be the beauty they see in me. Being loved is the heaviest weight I've ever carried. I have so many apologies to hand out. I want to scream you've fallen in love with a mad woman, a true actress who has forgotten her role. When you love a character from a tv show, you think you love the actress, but you only love who she pretends to be. I have forgotten when I am pretending. I am sorry and sorry and sorry and tired. I don't recognize my reflection anymore, but everyone keeps telling me she's so great. I am sorry and sorry and sorry and tired. My heart keeps bragging I am, and I laugh. Who are you dear heart?

Hi, my name is Charley and I am a 25 year old transgender male. I started my transition a little over two years ago, and almost became a statistic. At the beginning of 2015, I attempted to take my own life thinking I could never transition. When I woke up in the hospital, I realized that I had...

a loved banana says what?

Is this a knock knock joke from the moon?

When I write I know. Remember that miraculous saying of the boy Keats — I am certain of nothing, but the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of Imagination —

Highly sensitive (introverted) people process their environments - both physical and emotional - unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss - another person’s shift in mood, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.
