Time

Time time time time

What is it? Can you tell me?

Is it larger than life, or all that life revolves around?

Or is it the marking of the passing glances we give each other

The construct of the time we spend at the breakfast table, talking, talking, talking

Time is easier than watching the clock tick by on the oven

It is how many records we finish while making breakfast

It is all the songs we sing to each other

Breakfast to lunch to dinner

The time I spend with you is immeasurable in seconds, only in moments

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

When one thing falls into place, everything becomes lighter

Your breath softer

Your shoulders relaxed

Books seem smaller, and less antagonizing staring at you from the shelves

Isn’t writing such a beautiful thing?

Write a different one to make it jealous.

A new August

New relationships

New roads untraveled.

It is warmer this year, and my heart is photosynthesizing under the fresh rays

Do I miss you, old August?

Of course, you needn’t even ask

But I won’t look to you anymore for advice

I keep my eyes fixed on the horizon

Deleted TikTok, wearing wornout shoes, spending time with people instead of algorithms

I leaned against my car last night and breathed in the ocean, and it breathed in me- welcoming me back home

[writecourtneysloan]

My room smells like coffee, sounds like heaven, and my mind is at peace

[soul-from-another-era]

Listening to music isn't enough anymore i need to eat it.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

“you’re a writer, right?”

me, staring at the one sentence i’ve managed to add in the last hour and the 12 open tabs on the specifics of shoes in 1845 Ireland: In theory.

So excited to make vlogs that I want to see, to make context for me and me alone (and anyone who enjoys what I enjoy)
