Sutures and Flower Petals
I’ve fallen in love with the lines on my hands. I’m enamored with the way they spill and twist, wrapping around my wrists and curling into my palms.
The love, that’s easy. I’ve never had a reason not to love. It’s the caring that matters, but that part’s—tricky.
The lines on my hands aren’t bends, they’re seams. It’s a rare piece of clothing that’s made from one piece. There’s this idea that tears come from outside sources and are held by the lucky few. There’s this idea…
My mother’s best work isn’t made from nails and hair. She can craft with them, but doesn’t love them enough to focus. Her early lessons were all of stolen time and smudged graphite. Of the hair, the nails, chapstick and clips and bright, incongruous colors, my mother’s first lesson was how to sew. She wanted to be a surgeon, once. It’s easy to imagine her with a scalpel, a needle, her hair pinned up and blood on her gloved hands.
Sometimes, when I breathe, I can feel something blooming inside of me. It wraps around my ribs, my lungs, presses against my skin. The seams stretch and widen, but they don’t snap, not anymore. Not yet. They’re brilliant, gaping and straining, criss-crossed with bright thread—yellow and purple, for my sister, white and gold, for my mother, brown and green, for me. I don’t paint over the seams, like you’re supposed to: hair and nails, it’s all exhausting. I know the rules, but what’s the point?
Isn’t it lovely? People are not clay or skin or broken glass. We may not be molded, but we can embroider. We can break and remake. Isn’t it lovely, that we may sew and sew and snap?

I think we as a society should bring back brotps. I think we should be weirder about characters being friends the same way people are weird about ships. Make those two characters who interacted once or twice besties. Make it difficult for them to get rid of each other even if they want to. Go nuts

Last summer I was on a very expedited acid come up at a music festival and my entirely unaware mother thousands of miles away was at costco and texted me incredulous at how they already had halloween stuff out for sale in the summer but all I saw was a message preview of a giant 10 foot tall skeleton with glowing eyes and "can u believe it??"

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation
because WHAT are people talking about sometimes
