The good, the bad, and the beautiful feelings about loving

  • I like dancing around that silly little word as if it doesn’t write symphonies in our subtext. I like knowing it’s there. I can feel it- when our eyes lock, when we wrap our arms, legs, torsos, and toes tightly around each other and it still doesn’t feel nearly close enough. There are so many…

  • Some days you’re so loud in my head that I’ll log into my old email just to search your name hoping everything i’ve ever wanted to know and every reasoning i’ve ever wondered, will be sitting there in a little message from you. Of course! I must’ve just missed your email! probably took PTO that…

  • Why does the thought of being alone feel so scary? I love being alone, by myself, left to my own thoughts, feelings, and actions—taken, felt, and executed at my own regard, on my own agenda. It can be boring, but it’s also peaceful. It takes a lot for me to disrupt my peace for another.…

  • A year ago, I probably wished to be happier. Or just to not feel as lost in life. Or maybe to feel less stressed and worried. Maybe I wished for a focused mind, or peaceful nights, or a life that made more sense for me. I guess I probably wished you away, somewhere in there.…

  • 2/18/2024 Now that you’re gone let me make up for your absence in the pieces of myself that you’ve touched. Now that you’re gone I’ll tell all your jokes as if they were my own because there is no one to tell me otherwise or proclaim “hey that’s my line”. I’ll listen without giving advice…

  • 2/09/2024 There is nothing more unattractive than neediness but why is it so wrong to need? Why is it that the rules are so narrow? I as a human, experiencing the human existence- which involves many other humans simultaneously experiencing their own existence is arguably the most rare and precious piece to consciousness. Everything we’ve…

  • “a month ago I added “make a list of all the things I hate about you” to my to-do list and every day for the past month I got a reminder that I hadn’t done it yet. The irony is that I think about her constantly but can’t seem to find the time for hate.…

  • 1/24/2024 You don’t realize how many colored glasses you wear until you fall out of love with someone. The irony in the phrase “to fall out of love”, as if you fall in love the same way you come out of it. To fall in love makes sense, you don’t often see it coming, like…

  • 1/22/2024 Nothing to do with me and everything to do with you. You were always good at forgetting about the unimportant things. $50 dollar water bottles, gifted jewelry, car keys, headphones, and people. Why waste energy over the replaceable things? I never understood why you’d never go back for them- just even to look. Just…

  • 1/16/2024 It really sucks to miss someone. It feels like the most unproductive emotion. It’s constant and demands so much energy. It really means nothing to miss besides to provide a realization that someone means a lot to you. I wish I could sign an oath of acknowledgement declaring what I miss, so I no…
