”how did you fall in love with him?”
“a hundred days of longing.”
IM ALIVE. IM ALIVE SO TODAY I ACTED LIKE IT.
i am a skeleton walking, for you have stolen my heart.
the rage in me has made my humanity scarce. i will not be quiet about it.
i am only consumed with my sadness when i am alone. this week my schedule is filled to the brim to avoid mere minutes alone with my mind.
i was a precocious child. it’s a curse.
among the thousands of pages i’ve written, i know there is one constant. you are on every single one.
two years ago i worshipped the man i thought you were. thank god i am off my knees now.
i find space to heal in the margins, in quiet afternoons, and in hugs from people i love.
i swear it almost rained. i swear it almost washed out the whole world. i swear i almost gave up.
