James Gunn’s thesis statement for his Superman is simple and effective: "Be good. Do good. Be human despite the bad things. That is the most punk rock thing in a world so stoic and cynical."

And that’s how it should be. That’s beautiful, the new Superman movie is beautiful.

writers introduction

hello 👋 my name is love.

my pronouns are they/she, and i'm a queer writer in my early twenties from brisbane, australia.

i write primarily short poems that dabble with topics of love, relationships, grief, trauma, mental health, chronic illness, the seasons, or anything i'm feeling in particular in that passage of time. i try to write and post my best pieces as regularly as i can.

writing has always been an important aspect of my identity. i have found that in all the different stages of my life, in all the things that flow in and out and all the things i've lost, writing has been what i have been loyal to. it is the place where i feel most honest, open, safely vulnerable, and most importantly it is where i feel most creative. i have a lot of favourite authors that inspire me to write but ultimately i write for myself.

i hope that anyone who comes across my content, finds that the words speak to them and represent their feelings in a way that they've been searching for. for me; a great piece of writing is a piece that allows something that was once incommunicable to be communicated.

i do not have any published books, yet. but this is an ambition of mine. everything i share here on tumblr is my original work, if you would like to share it somewhere else please make sure it includes credit.

you can also follow me on instagram @loosethorns

please feel free to follow and interact and share what most speaks to you. it means the world that my poetry touches even just one heart.

i look forward to writing you all love letters. 🤍

“Of this there can be no question—creative work requires a loyalty as complete as the loyalty of water to the force of gravity. A person trudging through the wilderness of creation who does not know this—who does not swallow this—is lost.” - Mary Oliver

what a beautiful feeling it is to finally get over someone and realize that it was your adoration of them that made them so special. without that, they’re quite basic. just proof that the magic lives in you, not them.

probably feels good asf to have me like your post

Thinking about how love doesn't need to be vocalised to be loud. It's the small, intimate moments like making dinner together, sharing inside jokes, the passing glances and the eye contacts in a crowded room, the occasional brushing of arms or legs bumping against each other under the table. It's how love can be expressed in so many ways other than words ♥

huge shout out to this little kid for writing my favorite poem

[inkandcopy]

my heart is a beautiful place and anyone would be lucky to live there

[inkandcopy]

But you‘ve always had that strange feeling whenever you looked at the stars, don’t you? You couldn’t figure out whether it was the mere feeling of longing itself or homesickness, but you’ve always felt that you don’t belong here, that there are other worlds reaching out for your hand, that there are other dimensions secretly whispering your name.

i wish sadness was a jacket i could take off and put back on whenever i feel strong enough to carry it

okay but saying "i wish i had known you sooner" — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.

my love language is making you cum with my mouth

Staying consistent even when it’s not immediately rewarding is where the shift happens.
