Iโve been fixing up my room and this is kind of just what itโs at rn and Iโm so happy
ROBERT BRYDALL - The fairy woods (detail)
yes.
stop shaming people for being passionate about the things that they love. stop mocking people for having unusual interests. like, honestly, i'm so tired of feeling embarrassed for being "too much". if being too much means having deep interests that fill my life with romanticism and excitement, then let me be!!! i'd much rather listen to anyone ranting about their latest obsession with 16th century swords than have a boring ordinary conversation with those who shame passionate people
when whitman saidย โi contradict myself. i am largeโฆ i contain multitudesโ and wilde saidย โwhat are you? to define is to limitโ and sumney saidย โi insist upon my right to be multipleโ
i am a graveyard full of moments that i could have had with you
Let me fall silent,
Your nothingness stabs a hole in my ribs,
No substance, no form, no tangible hold
I dance between clarity and insanity
I have been looking everywhere for you,
I turned myself inside out,
I am a rabid dog,
I am a wanderer forever deprived of eden
I am your lamb,
Devour me, haunt my dreams,
It is still here,
It wouldnโt stop lest you come home to me
This bile of yearning filling up my organs,
Itโs yours and yours alone.
Would you be the same if I taint my soul trying to search for yours?
a mary oliver quote that peeled me like a fruit
โ Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice
you know that feeling when youโre out in nature at 5 or 6am and everythingโs still quiet and the air still smells like night time and itโs fresh so you shiver a bit but then slowly the first rays of sun peak over the edge of the earth and everything is bathed in foggy, golden light and you just stand there watching the earth awaken.. if thatโs not soothing idk what is
What else could you have done
But pray?
To beg for a divine intervention
To be able to walk on air?
How else would you bear
your feet catching on fire
As the world burns around you?
