Please just write. Love yourself. Live life. Your self advice is that there is no self help advice and we can only exist.
Your brain is sick. The meds you are on are not fixing it completley, even if they are helping. Good words and affirmations cant fix it all either. Art and sharing cannot fix it all either. Love and intimacy and sex cant fix it all either. All these little pieces have been enough to at least keep going. You hope everyday that things will get better, and that hasnt gone away forever either.
I like to take a step back occassionally and review things as logically as I can and ground myself. I'd encourage others to do the same.
Analysis:
The first few lines about science and untroubled silence puts me in the headspace of the learned astronomer. I appreciate how small of a moment this poem tries to capture, and how that is emcapsulated by the subject of the poem a snowflake (though the word is unused in the poem). Perhaps the exclusion of the word snowflake or any such name for the object of focus has some relation to the final line, which deals in form as a "...perfect individual shape is lost".
A perfect individual shape being lost in the mass of complexity, which on the surface appears simple as snow often does. Thats whats so perplexing about nature, makes me want to stare at it for long periods of time.
Its somewhat melancholic that something as perfectly indivual as a snowflake is lost in frost, yet still when one looks at fresh frost it is beautiful. This touches my gothic sensibilities as someone whose come to see beautiful in the misery of a quiet untroubled life (perhaps thats hard to explain to most people but maybe poets will understand that).
A perfect individual shape being lost in its collective also put me in mind of platonic forms (ie what is a chair?) Perhaps something as seemingly simple as snow is really quite inexplicable when you view it in its totality of snowflakes, such is humanity in the context of humans. I find such truths overwhelming and depressing particularly in cold winter months.
Snow is suffocating with this reminder yet it is also an escape, as it is profound.

They crystallize in untroubled silence In this early pause, it's a quiet science When you look up Standing so perfectly still No movement but your Breath billowing up towards the sky One catches your eye Before weaving slowly to the ground Before joining the others in the frost You don't make a sound As its perfect, individual shape is lost
No please I beg you...
Come back...
I love you furry with a basic ass fursona because its what you love, fr.
Being too self aware isnt great
I overthink everything. Sometimes it makes me sound smarter, most of the time im miserable from it.
I prefer when things just come to me
When I can just exist
But im addicted to this
My face reflects
My phone screen
Flat
Fading
Ive never really lived at all
A ghost of god on the awnsering machine
Dialed in, wired
Enter a network
Of words, wallowing and weeping
For all
Literate nonsense
A light on a cave
A theater
A soundstage
Im acting out my life and im a C lister
But im trying at least
Nobodies watching
Im alone, depressed, loneley.
The feeling isnt darkness though
The screen is on now
Blues, purples, particles of pink waves...
Im laying down
Lulling out words
Slurring out nerves
My lips curl, caressing
Confessions undressing
From myself
I take off my clothes, im not in them
Somethings buzzing
The screen goes black
Skyrim glitches for the 1000th time
Its gone.
Water doesnt behave like it should
It sticks to itself
Somehow its wet
The river cries
I wipe away its tears
Rinse it out of my clothes
Why try not to get wet
When its always raining?
Just have a smoke with me
With whatevers ashes left
Some art I did for a dnd campaign. A regular deer was transformed into a centaur esc anthro creature as it accidently came in and out of the faewilds. I liked the idea of anthro centaurs so his bottom half is deer and his top half is basically an anthro deer. His antlers play music in the wind.
This is allowed at my house if you know me
You ever been in a state where you physically have no energy, but you're bored and socially understimulated so you kind of wish you could just invite people to come over like this:
POV your on a date with me
"Yeah so Gastrodon was introduced in gen 4 of pokemon but technically it was initially in development to be added into gen 3. Its a sea slug, thought to be based on the Nudibranch by some, including myself. Oh, did I never talk to you about Nudibranches? Oh they are fantastic lil guys! There so colorful, and theres so many different kinds. Actually hold on...here ya go. What? Yeah I do keep a stack of polaroids of Nudibranches on me at all times, why do you ask? Anyway they are supercool, they have powers sort of like pokemon. They can absorb plant cells and photosynthesize, isn't that wild? I think it would be cool if GameFreak gave Gastrodon Solar Beam to reflect that, dont you? Oh yeah and because Gastrodon is a Water/Ground type it has only one weakness to grass. Granted a 4 times weakness can be really bad grass isnt the worst thing to be weak to. You can cover for that on your team perfectly with a fire/flying type. Of course then you have to worry about getting your ass beat by stealth rock, but you can play around that too. I mean Cynthia's considered one of the strongest champions in the mainline games and she has a Gastrodon on her team, or at least she does in Pokemon Pearl. Anyway so gastrodon..."
I love these lil guys
Terror.
Blur on a black screen not blank
As if electricity still itches
Under its glass skin
A glossy glimpse of my eyes
I long for a longer time
As I look into my own eyes
I see the wires
Vessels of blood and butchery
Bathing in that black
They anticipate a world beyond my own
When I let go of my life
