sometimes i imagine all my past selves living in a house together.

i think the smallest one cries the most.

i think the loudest one is just scared.

i think none of them trust the front door.

do you ever look at someone and think—

i’d love you gently

and never ask you to earn it

[spitpetals]

yes given a half an opportunity i would time-travel in order to kidnap my child self and bring them to the present and raise them with love and tenderness and safety, and that's a completely normal thought that everyone has had

[spitpetals]

i wish i could remember my childhood in full color.

all i have are flashes.

sunlight on carpet.

a hallway.

silence that felt too loud.

i miss people who never really existed.

just versions of them i built in my head when i was lonely.

sometimes i want to disappear.

not in a tragic way.

just in a quiet way.

like fog when the sun comes up.

i saw a girl on the train holding a book like it was the last good thing in her life

i hope she finished it

i hope it saved her
