There once was a man trying to make a point about the kitchen. "The sink!" He said "the sink is the single most important thing in the kitchen! It washes, it provides drinking water! It helps you prepare all of your meals and cleans your dishes for you after! The sink is the most important!"

"However," said a stranger coming through the crowd "you are forgetting about the countertop. It holds everything in the kitchen together. You prepare your food and serve your food ON the countertop. Even your prescious sink would have no where to be if it weren't for the countertop!"

The man was stunned. He wasn't prepared for a counterargument

“I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.”

I never understood love

I made a poem of what is liked to be loved in my family and how reading about love feels so weird because I've never experienced it.--

I read stories about love

Craving it myself

Every chapter I read, it's like love was something i never experienced, like it was something I was never given

That love never looked like what i experienced

Love was pain experienced through all sorts of forms whether verbal or physical or self inflicted

Love was weaponised, love was forced, love was hateful screams and shouts and demands that ended with I'm sorry but it was your fault

Love was walking on eggshells and crying behind closed doors

Love was insults and shaming that ended with its for your own good

Love was forgetting all the pain caused and saying your overreacting

Love was pain, love was suffocating

Love was being locked in a cage and watching yourself deteriot and disassociate while no one cared

Love was "of course I care" while walking away during conversations

Was any of this love? Was any of it ever love?

The love I kept reading about was something i never felt in real life

has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

Listen to Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips for a musical version of this principle of life. (It’s such a good song)

Do you realize / that everyone you know someday will die?

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It’s hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn’t go down

It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning ‘round
