in a futuristic dystopian society, air and sunlight must be purchased. people would have to work to live (literally). what would the social caste system look like in this society?

my stubborn worry commands I quit, save myself the heartache of unfulfilled expectations

everything around me — synchronicities, signs, billboards, 333s on gas stations, words from my mother — tells me to persist

I guess what I choose to do from this point onward will define my worth and my waste.

Fulfilled purpose?

Wasted potential?

work and money: an over-thinker girl’s best friend

[michmoodboards]

it's january, and the cold is turning me into a hypochondriac. my joints are swelling, my skin is cracking, my spirits are dwindling.

the city is harsh for an island girl. i miss the nurturing warmth of the sun. i miss the sound of the waves. the smell of the sand.

where has all the magic gone?

don't think

i can

do it anymore

it's so heavy

i'm quite tired

of it all

sometimes, i think the devil wasn't thrown from the heavens in punishment.

i think he flung himself, hoping to end it all, for once.

i think he was tired. unbearably tired. dense like a dying star finally collapsing into itself.

if there was any human-like quality to him in that moment, i think he was tired.

loving you is my religion

intro: like a moth to its flame, I thought of nothing but what it would feel like to be held in the sun's warmth; to be shone upon, to be seen and held and loved in my entirety, in transparency, in sincerity. for once. for the first time.

outro: but the sun, though beautiful, isn't kind. it is harsh, it is disciplined and punitive. I should've recalled the tale of Icarus. it shouldn't have come as a surprise when my skin seared and my wings scorched. i burned for you. because of you.

I wanna be defined by the things that I love

Not the things I hate

Not the things I'm afraid of

Taylor Swift, 'Daylight' (2019)
