Remember The Rain

The lawn has gone again.

Memories of rain torn apart by thunder. Faces faded, nearly disappearing, forgotten to be full. And lullabies wading through storm, as if softness could overpower colossus.

Driving on a street, splashed in misplaced sea, wondering if we should count the lines or the shrimp. But it wasn’t a Friday, it was someday, somewhere, a place I must have been, to be here drenching my mind.

Hopelessly nostalgic. Maybe it is all display. Some theatrical thought for me to replay over and over, hypnotizing myself to believe in its own certainty. Life happened here—it cannot be erased.

And yet, where is it?

Down waterslides and carpools it must have been slithering there, through all these things, wet and lurking. Too young to be independent but old enough to feel like that’s what you wanted.

Drowning in a lunchroom, tables and chairs upturned in the flood, clouds of mustard and soggy biscuits floating the airwaves beside my face.

I am barely there. Hovering. My legs swirl in the deep so my body stays unsubmerged, but I can barely breathe. I see bodies like lily-pads—motionless, complacent. They have all perished but I remain. Just a remainder.

All this talk of I—memory can be so narcissistic. Spaces which you cling to specialness, all for yourself, as if they had been spaces designed just so you could occupy them. Holy relics. Sacred secrets. They told you something they told no one else.

But that must be wrong. Because these spaces go on without me. But they are impressions, furious and sensual in my mind, touching me and cooling me off. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks they’re special—that’s why they let me remember them.

And yet, where are they?

Integration is a slow process. One mired by mires of placement. If I could classify every object I ever felt, every feeling I ever expressed, every motion I ever carried, would I come any closer to being fulfilled by leaving it all behind?

Maybe the weight would disintegrate. All the things which shaped me and defined me would be conditionally completed, and I could be reborn in layers of new and future me. Like the only thing holding me back this whole time were the times before this. But—they appear as fantasy now.

You cannot be stymied by imaginary obstacles. Especially those you made yourself.

But I am so sure my memories are real—they must be real, or else what good is the rest of me? What definition can I chain around my neck and submit to? Do I bathe in clarity or despair?

Liquids inside me turn more murkier by the minute. Until I am a swamp walking upright; a swamp thing being upstanding. Until I am the steps of a temple becoming reef, stone becoming coral, flesh becoming seaweed.

Still I hang my head. Forget the rain falling in my eyes. I was blind once—never again.

And yet, here I am.

💛🌺🥤 happy pride!!

Pride Truth or Dare!

💛 - Who was the first person you came out to?

Okay so if memory serves me right (and it very well might not, this is a. 8 years ago and b. adhd has poked some very large holes in my memory) I believe the first person I came out to was one of my at the time "best friends" who I no longer talk to

🌺 - List three things you like about yourself

- my eyes. they're very pretty and i genuinely think they're one of my best features

- my writing. it took a long time for me to actually like writing and even when I'm annoyed at a specific piece I'm working on, i like my writing on a whole

- my sense of style. it's finally starting to get to a point where I'm able to really like the clothes in my wardrobe and the way I look in them (especially now that I'm starting to be able to get a grasp on what feels Gender™)

🥤 - Drink some water you dehydrated f

I am!! i just finished a glass of water cause I was walking outside

Happy pride Maya!!!

send 🌹 for a random sentence from one of my current WIPs! @remember-therain

WIP 1

Given how often Bee liked to claim Evil was their Gender, they would have fun with this.

WIP 2

“Yeah I did my research - I watched Gentleman Jack, so now I know how they had sex even with all those skirts!”

WIP 3

“Are you going to let go of my wrist, or are you planning on holding it the entire way there?”
