I’ve been telling myself the reason I can’t write anymore is because I’m not sad. Because there’s no pain inside me to flow out of my trembling hands onto paper, there are no sorrows clouding my vision to make my poetry hazy.

I can see straight and sometimes I feel poetry needs to be twirly and zigzagg-y.

But, I’ve been trying to be sad lately. Trying to find wretchedness among the mists, among the nights I stay up laughing, trying to feel what I felt before, trying to pour poetry back into my veins. Maybe this is some stupid excuse.

But here’s how it really is. I keep finding myself beaming at unfamiliar faces and sipping hot chocolate over brunch dates with new friends, or falling back into rhythm with old ones.

Or that one time I snuck out to my best friend’s house and we danced to alcohol in our bodies but we were sober enough to remember one of the best nights of our life. So maybe there’s nothing poetic about this. Or maybe there is.

I know poetry is more beautiful than sad and there’s something really very beautiful about loving life.

-H.S.

When Virginia Woolf wrote, “Yes yes yes I do like you. I am afraid to write the stronger word.” And when Taylor Swift said, “Writing letters addressed to the fire.” And when Phoebe Bridgers said, “I can't open my mouth and forget how to talk. 'Cause even if I could, wouldn't know where to start, wouldn't know when to stop.” And when Lana Del Ray said “I wrote you a note, but I didn't send it. 'Cause that's the best method the women here taught me about.”
