Louise Glück, From Meadowlands; "The Dream"

Xiao's birthday letters to Traveler summarised:

2021 birthday: I caught crystalflies for you. I visualised them in your hair

2022: I listened to starconches on the beach wondering if I'd hear your voice

2023: I visited a friend and they threw a party, please come if you have the time

This birthday, 2024: I dream of you. Do I deserve to dream so sweetly?

In conclusion:

The new art is so gorgeous

YESSSS im a huge sucker for listening to albums in order! especially with artists that have cohesive albums where the songs after one another blend into each other

please listen to albums someitmes youll be amazed at what an artists songs do when theyree in an order they made. for you to listen to. etc

accomplishments of the day: still alive, slept in, had dinner, did a lot of drawing, snacked

You can’t deserve a person’s love. You’ll drive yourself crazy thinking like that. They either love you, or they don’t. That doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough for them to love you, because love isn’t something you earn by being good enough. It isn’t something that can be quantified or doled out. Don’t blame yourself for not being loved how you need to, just teach yourself how to look for love where love lives.

tender love
