Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

life is just humiliating yourself over and over and learning to live with the inherent shame of being alive !! do what makes you happy !! it is impossible to live life without embarrassment, so why bother trying !!

thread
there is something so indescribable about the way all lives meld
we are all connected somehow
there is always a path back to the beginning
held together as a whole
like a quilt, sown together
my PIN is the same as my dads
which is the last four digits of the phone number to his childhood home
when i call my grandparents house
and speak to only my papa who is left
i am reminded of him
my life is the compilation of all the people i have taken the time to know
i hope i am a part of somebody else’s compilation

medicine
i used to have a boyfriend who refused to take any medication when sick
im still not sure why
when i asked, he just said he didn’t like the idea of it
idea of what?
giving in?
giving up?
was he too proud?
did he want to feel the pain?
remain in the moment?
maybe this is why he never texted me back
he did not want to admit the moment was hurting him
too proud to admit his wrong doings
did not want to give in to me
did not want to give up his pain
maybe he’s still in the moment
waiting for me

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache
life just goes on no matter what

3/3/22
when you left i realised i didn’t believe in something bigger
before now i had held out hope,
i was looking for signs and waiting to be enlightened.
but now i’m certain
it’s like the door to curiosity has closed,
and all that i’m left with is a world without you.

i know she loves me
my mother loves me
i know she does because she tells me
i know she does because she shows me
my mother speaks to me in frustrated tones
she is frustrated that i do not know everything that she needed to know at my age
i know she loves me
my mother tells me she is disappointed with me
she is disappointed that my eyes are hers and my words ring home
i know she loves me
my mother will argue with me that i am not allowing myself more time
today we are yelling about rentals
she is scared
she will argue that i am not doing everything she did not get to do
we are screaming at each other
she is scared
she is not getting her point across with raised voices
we don’t lower them
later she will listen to news broadcasters discussing the rental market
loud enough so that i can listen too
she will not tell me to listen
she knows i listen when the advice is not coming from her
i know mother
i am listening
i love you too
