Feeling Called Out Today

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?"

-"The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver

“fuck you, my child is fine-”

Ma'am, your child is a writer

one thing about me is i don't remember

George Sand, from a letter to Gustave Flaubert written c. September 1871

"would you still love your favorite character if they did [cruellest shit you've ever heard]?" baby you dont wanna know how far my love would go for that mf

“Love never dies of a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness, errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds. It dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings, but never of a natural death.”

— Anais Nin

the thing that sucks is that people love saying sleep early is good etc etc and yeah it is. I've seen some benefits before. but I think it sucks to ignore that late night is the only time with any freedom. I think it sucks to not acknowledge the dread in waking up and it's a work day again
