“because inside each word some memory stalks another memory and without hearing it you know it is there, the way our dreams continue on without us, the way one star spills its light against another star beyond what we will ever see, where time echoes back and forth in their light”
— Richard jackson, from “A Train, The Scottsboro Boys,” B O D Y (Winter 2021)
Reblog this post before October 31st and I’ll say what monster/cryptid/mythical creature you remind me of just from scrolling through your blog a bit. Make sure you have asks open.
Vincent Van Gogh, Almond Blossom, 1890. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
“The scariest thing about distance is you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget about you.”

I Have Called That the New Man – Zorba the Buddha
“First I taught you about trust, the heart, feeling, love; and now I am teaching you about doubt, skepticism, reason, intellect, because I would like you to be a whole man. You can be completely satisfied with trusting, with the heart, but you will not be a whole man. I would not call Mira a whole person, I would not call Ramakrishna a whole person. They are beautiful, but the intellect is missing; it is all heart. It is too much sugar, it creates diabetes. I am diabetic. Too much of the heart, too much sweetness, and you suffer from diabetes – and I don’t want any of you to suffer from diabetes. Yes, just living by the heart you will have spiritual diabetes. Intellect is salty, spicy; it is not all sugar.
“I would like you to enjoy the wholeness of your being, when your body, your heart, your intellect all fall in tune. I have called that the new man – Zorba the Buddha.”
-Osho
You can't blame the monster for doing what's natural to them.
Angels are so far above the evils of men.
To be honest, I don't remember who i was before you. You consumed me so much i made you the reason for my entire existence no matter how much i denied that. People looked at me as if I've lost my mind and maybe i did. I fitted myself into everything you wanted without even thinking twice. And if that isn't madness i dont know what is.
Now that i dont want to be consumed by you or your fucking ideologies, you can't stand it anymore. (I don't know what people think when they romanticize heartbreaks; what kind of sadistic satisfaction do you get out of that? It is ugly, horrible and ends up making you look stupid so make it sound like that.)
I want to be consumed by things that won't leave me questioning myself and if losing you is what it takes then so be it.
And I'm sick of kissing you in my head, when can it be real instead?
k.b. // avery lynch - all i need
What do yall think cuz its for a competition and i need the 1k

I am not okay
Why?
I have a nice life
A good school
Good grades
A good family
So why?
Is it the fact that no matter how many positive things I have, there'll still be negative things?
Is it the fact that I serve no purpose?
Is it our misogynistic society and that I, as a woman, can never do anything about it?
I always knew that, but I still can't get it in my head
I can't accept it
I won't accept it
Regret is something all of us have experienced
I've regreted many things
And talking about my feelings is one of them
You might say
"Get a therapist" or,
"Talk to your guidance counselor"
or better yet,
"Talk to your parents"
I can't trust any of them
I'd rather talk about my feelings to people the same as me or I'd rather not talk about my feelings at all
People were raised differently, in different places, and by different people
You can't talk about loving the same gender to someone homophobic
can you?
The system is flawed
I know that
Yet I don't know why
Living is the most beautiful yet cruelest punishment
I wish I was aborted
You wouldn't like that
You would say
"Don't say that! Abortion is a sin"
Wouldn't you?
Please don't say that
There are people you can talk to
You feel bad for them
Because the fact you can talk to them
Means they've gone through the same thing
Don't help people when you can't help yourself
I've seen people do this
You aren't bound to anyone
Don't let them force you to help them
Pretty privilege is something that I would never have right now
You would probably say
"Don't mind them! You are beautiful"
I'm not
I know it
I don't mind
I'd rather have money
Do I disgust you?
Don't tell me
I'd rather not know
Nothing can hurt me that way
Friends are hard
I don't have friends
Friends are people you can talk to
Laugh with
Play with
I don't have friends
I talk to people, of course
I would go insane if I didn't
But I don't have friends
This poem is all over the place
With no main point
I don't know how to organize things
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Please don't say I'm silly or being dramatic
Please respect me
Please don't make fun of me
Please
I am sad
I feel sad alot
But
I am also happy
I also feel happy alot
I am
Me
I can get through this
I can endure it
I am satisfied
I am okay
In search of my Destiny!! Loves to Read !!🧚♀️🧜♀️🧙♀️ n Believes in Magic🦋👑💫
