Therapy can't fix me, I really need an exorcism
"What is stronger than the human heart Which shatters over and over and still lives."
one time in high school my french teacher told the class that his grandmother died and a kid in the class said “je regrette :(“ and the french teacher burst out laughing and was like “you’re gonna wanna say desolé in this context because je regrette means like…. my bad”
Malyen Oretsev in Ruin and Rising (Leigh Bardugo)
For a second or two
Sometimes I fall in love with strangers,
For a second or two or some more.
Not for the thrill or dangers,
For the kindness, simplicity, and whatnots.
That someone on a park bench
Petting a random dog,
And then someone by the swing
Helping a kid back to her feet.
That someone at the next table
Smiling genuinely at the waiter,
And then someone at the handwash
Holding the door for an old woman.
I fall in love with strangers,
A second for how they look,
Two for their generous smile,
And some more for the random act of kindness.
The universe conspires you around such strangers
At that particular point in time out of all.
Because kindness conjures love.
Even if it's from a stranger.
A stranger,
Who will stop what they're doing
To fall in love with you.
For a second or two or some more.

SCRIBBLE AND SCRATCH
With a cup of tea, a pen, and my book
I sat to write at my favorite nook.
Head filled with voices trying to get out,
And a heart humming with tunes of doubt.
I scribble, and scratch then my words fade,
As I suppress the thoughts that make me afraid.
So I go back to the books that give me relief.
To find my answers within someone else's grief.
There are many problems within these books.
And in that world, solutions aren't mine to look
Within worn-out, annotated, and yellow pages,
I forget my fright as I did for ages.
Soon I'm drawn back to my nook
Holding on to empty pages of the notebook
I scribble, and scratch but the words don't fade
For I've let my thoughts out of its shade.
Man just went from this.....
To this !!!!

the utter romantic notion that the stars have a hand in our fate.
This makes me so happy and sad at the same time.!🥺

Who is the real subject of most love poems? Not the beloved. It is the hole. When I desire you, a part of me is gone: my want of you partakes of me. So reasons the lover at the edge of eros. The presence of want awakens in him nostalgia for wholeness. His thoughts turn toward questions of personal identity: he must recover and reincorporate what is gone if he is to be a complete person. […] Most people find something disturbingly lucid and true in Aristophanes’ image of lovers as people cut in half. All desire is for a part of oneself gone missing, or so it feels to the person in love.

Sunshine In Disguise 🌤
Standing in the middle of a crowd
struggling to find my sound
I put my heart on a silver platter,
every wound unbound.
Endlessly wanting to do furthermore,
to feel a sense of belonging.
Until one day, I was worn out
wishing for an exemption from that longing.
It took me ages to comprehend
that it takes only one soul
willing to give you a corner of their heart,
to pull you out of that black hole.
Someone who'll sit with you
until you're ready to talk.
Someone you can hold on to
until you're ready to walk.
They'll give you an unfeigned smile,
the one that reaches their eyes.
And that is how you'll know
that's your sunshine in disguise.
