Poetry and writing or poetic writing can find inspiration in the oddest ugly and turn it into something somewhat beautiful or astonishngly magical.

It is to truly see the world and see where redemption can be found, and the connection we have to everything can heal us.

The question is why are we broken in the first place? What is the meaning of our time in this life? Telling and listening stories is how we find our place. This is where the answer lies.

quote from Pan’s Flute ⚜︎

“I do not wish you much happiness — it would bore you; I do not wish you trouble either; but, following the people’s philosophy, I will simply repeat: ‘Live more’ and try somehow not to be too bored…”

"I love to love...", Paruyr Sevak (translated by metamorphesque)

[nervousyouthcupcake]

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.
