ամեն ինչ ցավում է: ավարտել եմ։ կարոտում եմ կեզ։ արդեն երկու շաբաթ է: ջհանդամ քեզ

every cell in my body greets grief in the morning and yet i keep getting up to live more

ապրիլի 4/5/6 

դպրոցը պրցնումա։ ամեն օր քշում եմ։ չեմ սիրում էսի։ ուզում եմ պուչուր լինեմ։ 

բարեվ ձեզ։ ավելի մեծ տեսք ունեմ։ ինձ հիշում ես? 

Maybe I was just a kid reading goodnight moon to myself and handing my sister her sweater

Smtimes your house is haunted because there's a ghost sometimes your house is haunted because you miss grandma and your mom misses her even more sometimes your house is haunted because the subtext of how the last owners decorated rubs you wrong way sometimes your house is haunted because you've sublimated the fact that you didn't want to move in the first place and Sometimes your house is haunted because there's a carbon monoxide leak. Lots of options.

my favorite lines from this article about poetry from students grades 3-6

don’t make me tap the jen silverman essay!!!!

[tsirany]

Maybe you weren’t a terrible person maybe you were just fifteen

Edit: some of the reblogs are doing my head in. So to put it here again: “I was both” maybe!!! But don’t judge your teenage self against who you are now. You were a child, working with what you had and knew at the time. Of course you would’ve acted before thinking. Of course you yelled and regret it now. Of course you said a few mean things. Hindsight is 20/20. Give yourself some compassion. You were a kid.

Մարտի 22

ծնունդդ շնորհավոր։ Երևի առաջին նշանն այն էր, երբ ես սիրում էի արծաթ և ոսկի միասին կրել։ Երվի նշան էլ չկար։

այսօր ես լսեցի քո անունը։ արդեն կանի ամիս ա էխէ? կարոտումեմ քեզ։ տուն արի։
