Getting to know you feels like remembering you

"match my freak!" match my sweetness. match my benevolence. match my empathy. match my ability to feel emotions so deeply it tears me apart from the inside out

what will it be, boss? the comfort of misery or the pain of change?

[thirtyfouryears]

I paint a darker shade to help weigh the sun down

to fall faster as it sets

I look at your canvas and you've added clouds, mountain peaks, and comets

Complete with stars, hurling through the night sky...

I'm still staring when I hear you say, "would you like to get out of your head and jump into mine?"

----

Taking that leap was like biting into a cold, fresh cosmic crisp

Like I can't get rid of you, sticky on my lips

You're driving me down a road of silver linings

Only to end up in kissing in cars,

Spilling our drinks, and licking our scars

Watching the birds scream by the water

I wish these seconds and minutes lasted longer.

The sky's still falling and I dip my largest brush underwater.

When paint drowns, light finds a way through.

My 13 reasons to die turned into 26 reasons to love you.

[thirtyfouryears]

I just want the sadness to stop. I'm drowning in my desire to die. I'm swimming towards Charon's boat but I'm tethered to reality by a rope that keeps getting thinner. When am I allowed to give up? Why do other people always have to get hurt? Why can't I be the only one bleeding?

"I'm blind, too" - by DMDR (2022)

I remember drawing this sweet little blind friend and thinking I could help him out. I drew my glasses onto him but it seems they're not his prescription. He just keeps screaming to find his way.

It's still one of my favorite sketches to date.

Salma Deera, "Salt"

[anditslove]

“You have survived everything you have been through, and you will survive this too. Stay for the person you will become. You are more than a bad day, or week, or month, or year, or even decade. You are a future of multifarious possibility. You are another self at a point in future time looking back in gratitude that this lost and former you held on. Stay.”

Slow down, please. Everything's going to be okay, I hope.

Found this blog again after 5 years. I'm 33 now and so much has changed for an outsider looking in - I have a house, cars, some sort of feigned financial stability and career related success.

From the inside out, nothing has changed at all. It's still so cold here. I'm so tired of this undercurrent of sadness in my life. I just want to feel something else.

This comic makes me so stupid emotional. She might have never known.
