poem: learning to listen to your voice
i have not been writing much lately,
for i feel i do not possess the “right” words to say,
and i have been tossing more poems
than i have been finishing—
i am learning that
sometimes not saying anything
is better than saying something
empty—
so i have spent nights sitting,
paying attention to the silence
despite the hundreds of distractions
begging to break the stillness
on account of their desire to be
constantly moving—
yet, i do not want to be the one always speaking,
acting as if i deserve that kind of authority,
just because i want so desperately to avoid
doing nothing—
i have not been writing much lately,
but i am not doing nothing;
in fact,
i am finally learning to listen.

“i love you.” “it’ll pass.”
is THE single most heartbreaking yet real and intense thing ive ever heard phoebe waller bridge u mastermind u r just like me except a genius fleabag is easily one of the most true to life and wonderfully painful tellings of mistakes that ruin relationships, mental health, religion, the chasms between family members that are caused and fixed by the love u share for them. its about extreme loss and the way that can single-handedly effect the rest of ur life and the way u think and act and how u care for others. its just so real.

quantum entanglement metaphorizes that everything in this world is connected in many of some ways no matter where you both are in the universe
Doing stupid or clumsy things because you forgot to pay attention to the real world again; walked into doors, burned your food, maybe ran a red light…
When someone is having feelings in your vicinity, you are having those feelings right along with them, even if you don’t know them or why they’re upset
Art vs. Science
Really wanting to have your life all organized and together, but also being the sort of person who just doesn’t do that
When you look at a thing and it reminds you of another thing but nobody else sees it and you become the “weird” one
Dropping everything you’re doing to Google something you got curious about, or draw an image that occured to you, or in any way indulging a sudden burst of imagination before it slips away and your boring life returns
Having to say “I don’t know how to explain it, it’s just this feeling” on a daily basis to a bunch of blank faces
Nobody seems to appreciate the value of a long walk by yourself
The sensible, logical voice in your head is constantly facepalming at all the stupid stuff you do, even though it told you it was a bad idea
Your best solution to potential problems is “I’ll just take to the woods and live with trees where nobody will care what I do”
“What are you staring at?”, “What are you smiling about?”, “Why the sudden gasp?”
When you’re focused on something important then you start thinking all these other thoughts about the thing and then it snowballs and you realize you have no idea what you were focused on to begin with
the amount of relativity this post has to me
“I write because I’m poor, I write because words are all I own, I write because I’m tired of hollow talk”

This guy had the perfect vows.
His vows: "I will kill the spiders. I will share my fries with you when you've finished all yours and are still hungry. I won't ever pop my collar. I will never be rude to your tummy- when I hear it growl and gurgle, I promise to bend down and reply respectfully. I will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. I will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed finger, and the counter-bumped hip. I’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. I will be the big spoon. I will let you win at wrestling. sometimes. other times I will not. I will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. not always. not on schedule . just whenever I want to. whenever I think you need one. or seven. I will check your tire pressure. and remind you to take your car in. I will hold your hand. I will love you. I will love you. I will love you.
my favorites in all the movies
