Put on this earth to read poetry and experience the full spectrum of human emotion, apparently. Ask me what I’m reading and I’ll love you forever. She/her

Maybe in a year I could write something. There is something in me maybe someday to be written; now it is folded, and folded, and folded, like a note in school.

There are more people that acknowledge your presence than you are aware of, there are more people that care about you than you will ever realize. I have so many friends from over the years who sometimes I randomly hit up and I never realized before they told me that they actually really adore those moments that we do talk. Perhaps the cashier at the store will appreciate that you wish them a nice day, the busdriver likes that you greet them, perhaps that one stranger you held the door open for really appreciated that small gesture. Keep showing yourself to the world, you will influence more people than you will ever realize.

something i have always found really weird is when english texts italicize words from other languages.
i remember reading a book as a kid and the author continually italicizing the word tamales
#poetry#language#yeah my favourite creative writing teacher told us not to italicise words#in her words#let them figure it out#she was also very interested in the ways knowing non-English Indian languages might influence the way we think about sound#incredible woman honestly

one of the greatest tragedies in life is that you will always be loved more than you will ever know. someone in class finds your presence inviting and warm, even if you’ve only ever exchanged a few words with them—maybe none at all. someone on the street loves your smile and it gets them down the next few streets. someone you used to be friends with still wishes to fondly call your name. someone you used to be friends with five years ago would give anything to be in the same room as you today. someone who regularly comes into work is disappointed when you aren’t there to brighten their day. someone missed you today. someone noticed you were gone. someone loves you when you’re there; someone loves you when you’re nowhere to be found at all. you think you have always disappeared when you’re no longer in the picture, but you’ve never left the frame.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.
