The first day we met, I drew a fish and an eye on his whiteboard. The second time we met, he told me he kept them. It has been half a year, and the fish and the eye are still there. To me, love looks like a fish and an eye.

my favourite thing ever is looking at notebooks of people who are long gone. it's just, something about seeing their handwriting, seeing a physical and intimate proof that they too existed and had ideas and thoughts and had so much to say and worry about, makes me feel like I am not wasting my time. and if they could go through it and live a life, I can too. to see their minds at work, story ideas, letters, poems, all in their handwriting... head in hands
I cannot leave her side when she’s near, I want to hold her, drink in her scent and study the movements of her body and face, her actions have become a new language of its own that I hope to become fluent in
i hate people knowing my business. i never tell my family anything but i will tell all my mutuals

friends to lovers never had a bad track. “scared i’ll ruin what we have” SLAPS. “friendship cuddles while secretly dying inside” BANGER. “teasing each other and holding eye contact for a little too long” KILLS ME. and don’t even get me STARTED on “screaming i love you in the middle of a heated argument.”
I'd like to go pottery painting with a cute girl and get paint all over our hands while making cute mugs for each other with cute messages painted on the bottom.
i think there will always be a part of you in whatever art i create. your essence will be in every poem i scribble on the last few pages of my notebook, on every page i type out on a word document and with every few strokes of paint that i line onto a canvas.
i will carry you with me forever, immortalising you in artwork, because isn't that what love really is? art.
god the loneliness of young adulthood is so real
