self-love needs to be taught at a young age.

“Christ alone…has affirmed eternal life as the most important certainty, the infinity of time, the futility of death, the necessity and purpose of serenity and devotion. He lived serenely, as an artist greater than all other artists, scorning marble and clay and paint, working in the living flesh. In other words, this peerless artist, scarcely conceivable with the blunt instrument of our modern, nervous and obtuse brains, made neither statues nor paintings nor books. He maintained in no uncertain terms that he made … living men, immortals.”

– Vincent Van Gogh

sometimes my mother tells me she loves me and i don’t want to say it back / i say it anyway. she taught me long ago that what i want is not as important as what other people need. i am still trying to untangle that lie. sometimes my father hugs me like i am all he has left in this world. i want nothing more than to leave. i stay because i carry his heart on my shoulders and my shoulders are already shaking. if i move it will fall. i refuse to break hearts if i can help it / i cannot always help it. yesterday i fell in love with an idea, with a floating cloud of dust / half-invisible / choking on air, on the particles of you. tomorrow i will try to remind myself to look at the stars. i will forget to stare at the sky but this is fine / this is fine / i can find them in your eyes just as easy. next week i will try to remind myself to hold your hand. i will forget. i am too busy staring at andromeda / the chained maiden. love never lasts and this is how i navigate home. l.s. | HIRAETH © 2017

Here’s how I see it

I want to talk about your 20′s. Your 20′s are a vital part of who you are. They are there for you to make mistakes, be stupid, meet new people, kiss strangers, travel and explore. They are a time for you to figure out what it is you want in life. They are a time of discovery and a time of experimentation. I have friends who are my age (22) and they have a degree, they have a long term relationship, they have 9-5pm jobs from Monday to friday. And sure that’s fantastic and I’m happy for them.  But if I have to be honest with you guys, I feel slightly upset for those guys, I feel bad because you have your whole life to do that… you have from your 30′s onwards to go to work everyday and to have a strong relationship.  But your 20′s… They’re a once in a lifetime opportunity to create memories that you will look back on when you’re older. So that you can sit back with a few friends one night drinking beer at 40 and say  “Hey remember when we climbed that mountain for sunrise” or “Remember that time we got lost on a road trip and we couldn’t stop laughing” or “Remember that time we danced on tables in Greece after too much wine” Those are the kinds of things you want to remember… Instead of I had a steady job and a long term boyfriend at the time, I worked 9-5 and yeah it was alright. I understand that everyone is different and to some, that kind of life is something that makes them happy.  But I guess what I’m trying to say is Don’t worry about having everything figured out by the time you reach 20. Don’t worry about not having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Don’t worry about the pressures imposed on you by your parents or your peers. Take your time, do what makes you happy and surround yourself with people who will impact your life positively and go out and enjoy your 20′s… Life will soon find a path for you and you’ll soon know what it is you want.

I know that that’s what I’m doing… And I must say I am the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

(Referring to “Smells Like Teen Spirit”) - This friend of mine and I were goofing around my house one night, and we were kinda drunk, and we were writing graffiti all over the walls of my house, and she wrote “Kurt smells like teen spirit”. And earlier on, we were kinda having this discussion on revolution, and teen revolution and stuff like that, and I took that as a compliment, I thought that she was saying that I was a person who, who could inspire. I just thought that was a nice little title. And it turns out she just meant that I smelt like the deodorant, I didn’t even know that deodorant existed, until after the song was written.
