Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That’s the only way to become what you are meant to be.

the universe whispers in my ear “you deserve better than this bloodstained broken soul” and I can only think about how wrong the stars are for my heart would have warned me to run  but instead it saw the good person burrowed inside the bruises instead it saw the same shadows that drift over my skin  and it dug itself, bloody and barely beating, to replace the empty space in his chest  the very first time he spoke my name like it was the start of his salvation  so tell me, constellations, I see the good in him and if the universe thinks me so good  what does that say about just how brightly he burns so when his hands touch me with a gentleness he doesn’t grant himself when he looks at me with his knuckles red and raw I know that violence doesn’t equal damned  and the universe whispers “darling, you can’t save him” oh, the fates tangle their threads but this time they are so mistaken  and I can only bring myself to swear “watch me do it anyway”

I wanted you and I got you  because nothing I’ve done matters when you’re not around because with you, oh god, being with you is fucking everything and I look at you, crashing into me  like you know that I’ll catch you if you come hurtling down to earth  I believe that you can do anything  and alright isn’t good enough for me and you  because, darling, we are worthy of being etched in stars our love story written in the history books

you make me better by Abby S (via fireandsteelofangels)

Writing Body Language

How to Improve your writing

This is something that happens every day in your life. A shift of your eyebrow in skepticism, or the way your lip may twitch to a half smile cause you’re trying not to laugh. These behaviors are vital for writing in character, because not only do the allow you to visually see what is happening but it is also reaffirming whatever emotion your character is showing.

So why should you write it?

Much of human communication is non-verbal which means you need to also translate this non-verbal reaction in a post. It allows you to greatly enhance the emotions of another character and always another person to ‘visually’ see how they feel in a post. Most of all, this will add depth and volume to your post to make it feel more real. IT will make your character feel like a human instead of just another fictional person you look at from above.

Below you will find a list different type of emotions and what sort of body language can be exhibited to them.

Three ways to accent an action.

When writing about emotions, there are different ways to verbally write them out. Each one is unique in their own way, allowing you to show more about the emotion.

Emphasize the Emotion. But doing this, you are expressing both the emotion and the body language. We’ll use a simple example. It’s short and simple yet you can sense he is happy. John felt so happy that he was humming a tune while walking down the hall.

Complicate the Emotion. Sometimes, even when you are feeling one emotion, deep down rooted underneath the facade of it all, there is actually an underlining emotion they feel. This is something you have to truly express otherwise no one will know. John felt so happy that he was humming a tune while walking down the hall. However, it was obvious by the way his nose crinkled that he was disgusted by the actions beforehand. Instead, John covered it up by appearing pleased today.

Contradict the Emotion. This is a little different than complicate. Contradicting means that you are claiming one thing when in fact its the other. In many ways, this has a variety of uses, from inner depth of the truth to what you see in person, or someone creating a wall. It could be considered a lie, but when is anything that easy? John felt so happy that he was humming a tune while walking down the hall. In truth, once he was in the classroom, his shoulders slumped and a pout crossed his lips when no one was around, showing just how displeased he was with the situation.

Remember that you do not always have to contradict or complicate anything. Sometimes all you need to do is emphasize and that will be just fine. You don’t always have to have an underlining complicated for an emotion to make it more enhanced.

Do be afraid to use the Thesaurus to also improve an emotion. Such things as “happy” is a nice emotional word, but think of how much more powerful it is when you heard some is “overjoyed” or “content.” She how these emotions matched up with a body language can give two different styles of happiness? Mix and match to find what works best for your character at the time.

Why Are Your Poems So Dark?

Isn’t the moon dark too, most of the time?

And doesn’t the white page seem unfinished

without the dark stain of alphabets?

When God demanded light, he didn’t banish darkness.

Instead he invented ebony and crows

and that small mole on your left cheekbone.

Or did you mean to ask “Why are you sad so often?”

Ask the moon. Ask what it has witnessed.

Linda Pastan from Poetry, August 2003

@clairycanary

I had a dream the other day where I was standing on this platform in a void and a giant sphinx was in front of me about to ask me a riddle and if I answered wrong it would kill me

it asks “what is a human?”

and in my dream my first thought was to that card with “what is a dad” on the front and then “you. you is a dad” inside

so I answer “me. me is a human”

and the sphinx fucking smacked me off the platform
