What would you be if there were no one who constrained your living space and time?
i pick at memories like scabs on juvenile knees
and i bleed when i could be change,
but i am both the bird and the tarnished cage.
i think some people are steel-toe boots and some of them are sidewalks;
some people live and learn the names of humans, of streets just to run away,
and some of them are cities forged and born to always stay.
and if life is a tree, i have to say, some days i want to leave,
but i think my birthmark is a footprint, and i'm bona fide concrete.

joining the war on “pretentiousness” on the side of the pretentious
Little things that help moods:
- getting enough sunshine - opening the curtains - eating regular meals - short walks with your favourite music - don’t stay up until 3am - don’t try to relate to tumblr text posts - get off tumblr/social media if it’s unhealthy - shower - don’t stay in bed the whole day - plan out your day - listen to music - change your clothes - set yourself small goals - say yes to fun events - drink water, it takes 5 seconds - talk to a close friend - remind yourself: a bad mood can lie to you - you’re not unwanted or hopeless - you deserve love so be nice to yourself
I do not know many things, my love
but I know — for you
even my hate will be soft.
I’ll be writing poems about you until I die.
” The Formula of Love “
” ( ∂ + m ) ψ = 0 “
Dirac equation in quantum physics that defines :
” If two systems interact with each other for a certain period of time and then are separated , can no longer be described as two distinct systems , but in some way , they become a single system. In other words , what happens to one of them continues to influence the other , even if light-years away kilometers”.
