― Akwaeke Emezi, The Death of Vivek Oji

[ text ID: I'm not what anyone thinks I am. I never was. I didn't have the mouth to put it into words, to say what was wrong, to change the things I felt I needed to change. And every day it was difficult, walking around and knowing that people saw me one way, knowing that they were wrong, so completely wrong, that the real me was invisible to them. It didn't even exist to them. So: If nobody sees you, are you still there? ]

it's the sensation of need that frightens me the most , as if I've lifted the lid on an unappeasable abyss.

i’m so empty i don’t know myself, i think i might be afraid of the wind.

november is going so fast please stop it

thinking about how love is packed in small cartons, cases and containers to be parcelled around. how it is stored in the way you help someone dress or how mothers ruffle their child's hair or simply press it down, making little pointy pigtails on their heads. how you brush the chalk off of your classmate's shirt, whom you probably don't talk a lot to. how love is in the way you flick off the soil from your best friend's trouser when you are walking to your classroom after a pe lesson, how your friend asks you to check her skirt for any period stains and you reply with a quick smile and an ok. how it is stored in the way you roll up your father's kurta's sleeves, fussing about the way he has no sense of fashion.

love is in the way you try keep others' clothes unsoiled.

alright. fuck small talk. let’s overshare about our trauma while we listen to hozier and drink day old iced coffee.

people assume an image and then want everyone to just follow it. it's so unfair. we all do this. it's sad bc it frightens most of us. it makes us guard ourself in the fear of disappointing others. and u see how much harm it can cause . this fear ceases our freakimg growth.

let's stop it . let's be open and understanding and accepting and observant and loving . it'll be so much fun
