When Lorde Said “i Knew That Teenagers Sparkled. I Knew They Knew Something Children Didn’t Know,

An important text from my friend, about feeling like you're pretending with your identity. I feel like I can't add too much more, because her words are enough.

Joan Didion, “On Keeping a Notebook”

when hands touch..

none of my assignments are done but I sure am

feels like every few weeks I have to relearn how to exist, that I do need to sit in the sun and move my body and not drink too much coffee and dress in clothes that make me feel good and talk to my friends and journal and get off my phone sometimes and eat vegetables and drink more tea and generally reclaim the space in my life for myself ya know

I put my sadness in a box. The box went soft and wet and weak at the bottom. I called it Thursday. Today is Sunday.

Richard Siken, from “The Field of Rooms and Halls” (via voirlvmer)
