Btw Archive Dot Org Is SUCH A Treasury When It Comes To Out-of-print Poetry Anthologies… I Am Having

i’m printing this out and i’m putting it on the mirror so i can confront myself with it

i'm like a whore that's shy and also kinda quiet and moody and secretive and mysterious and reserved

Being a little too cold: brrrr i’m a little too cold !!!

Being a little too warm: i am going to kill the next person who makes eye contact with me.

god knew id be too powerful if I was socialized properly

ohhhh i get it now. the little seed of loneliness i’ve carried with me since i was five will never go away

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.

Never did I think I'd live long enough to see a mass genocide in my lifetime, but here we are. This shit is insane. We really need to reconsider who we put in power in our countries. We need to make noise, and lots of it. For all those innocent lives being taken right now, it's the least we should do for them.

I'm begging that we don't have another massive war.

Sometimes you gotta stop worrying about being the smartest and funniest person in the room and just enjoy being in a room with smart and funny people
