Caitlyn Siehl, from What We Buried; “In the kitchen”

Was your star next to mine ?

how is it almost 2025 i didn’t even get a chance to exhale the breath i took in 2024 yet

staying over at your parents is like. wow I’ve spent some of the worst times of my life here feeling trapped and alone. I’m so glad I don’t live here anymore. I’m so sad I’ll never live in the same house as my siblings ever again. I miss being a child. I miss living with my family. or maybe I miss the concept of a happy family. the idea of something I never truly had. I’ve cried in this bed so many times. things have changed so much. I feel the ghosts of my younger selves in this room still. it’s good to be home.

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letter to Mimi Romanelli

after all this time it still makes me crazy that the same act of mercy that saves valjean completely undoes javert. the best thing the musical did was give them the same song to sing. [anguished ahhhhh]

Andrea Gibson, Lord of the Butterflies

i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u

DO YOU HEAR ME? GET UP.
