"We could all use soft days"
oh they were.
It was.
It was. It was. It was.
And memory of was
Only slightly softens
the Isn't Now
But maybe
Sweet Maybe
it could be again

I cant help but wonder if you miss me.
Did you almost text me the next morning?
Do you almost reply to my stories on social media?
Or do you not think of me at all?
Does my lack of presence not hurt you like yours hurts me?
I cant help but wonder if what we had was real or not.

I ache and scream and bleed and beg. Just once. Just once can I feel the privilege that I had never been granted to me in my youth. Just once can I know how it feels to be loved?

Today, I want peace. I want my brain relax for a bit, have a sip of wine accompanied by a candle lit dinner. I want my heart to slow down a bit but not completely stop. Today, I crave peace. I want the city noise to ease up just a bit, the birds to chirp a little louder, I want my thoughts to race a little slower. Can the fruit taste a bit sweeter ? Can the breeze blow a bit smoother? I want and want it’s time I get🌸
Just a little mood ✍🏾

I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. - Edgar Allan Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

I read somewhere that the act of peeling oranges for someone is considered love. I found it stupid.
Then one day, I was home after a tiring day and there were oranges sitting on the counter. I knew they had to be eaten that day, a day later, they’d be rotten.
I was just too tired.
I completed my chores, and the oranges were still there, colourful and nudging, hoping I’d pick them up.
I walked past, and found my bed. My head comfortably rested on the pillows.
Those damn oranges.
I got up, sat on the counter and peeled them grudgingly. As I ate in silence, I understood what they meant. It was love alright, not peeling oranges but being taken care of.

So come and meet me again-
In a new light
In a new guise
In a new, and aching form
Stagnation is anathema, thus-
I have no heart to care,
For the many tears you claim to weep
Over an empty seat
Filled to the edges with dust
That was never shaped to fit what I became-
Show me a permanent state of self
And I will show you what it is
To die, alone,
Caught between the cracks,
upon the verge of Becoming
Tell me how you love me,
Show me the works of your hands
All that was done by name and word and deed-
And in return, thus,
"Truly I say to you, you never knew me."
-They called it love

I sleep during the day because at night it’s peaceful and quiet but during the day I’m haunted with all of the noise

I feel like I'm floating. I hope that I never come back down. I cannot feel anything in this place. I cannot do anything in this place. I just exist. Nobody expects anything from me here. I can finally be at peace. I can finally be free. I watch the humans on the Earth from a distance. They carry on with their happy lives. But what about me? Why can't I be like them? Why am I the only one who has been denied happiness? What great sin have I committed?

"I don't want to think about it now," one of my closest friends once told me. "I'll think about what I can do once I'm already in that situation," she even added.
Before we got into this conversation, I was ranting about my life. And why are things not happening the way I want them to? As if the universe is against what I want. These past few months have quite stressed me out, and I don't have anyone to tell these things to. Because, honestly, I never wanted to bother anyone. I am just a typical person who keeps things to herself. Especially if it's too personal for me to share.
Earlier, while I was traveling to work, this conversation struck me once again. And I just remembered that I also said that before to someone I know. I used to think that way. I used to tell other people the same phrase every time they asked me what I would do if I were in a certain situation. And you see, I used to not overthink too much. Yes, I am an overthinker, but not to the point that I am experiencing now. I just thought that my overthinking got the best of me. I'm on the verge of quitting everything that I'm passionate about. In short, I was so close to giving up and stopping everything that makes my heart feel alive. I haven't felt so genuine in a while, as if everything I wrote was nothing but mere words that have no meaning at all. Something I don't really feel like writing about. I stopped having a long conversation with anyone. I stopped listening to what they really had to say. And just think, think, and think until it's time for me to go to sleep.
But then I remembered who I was before. I remembered that girl who doesn't easily give up on things just because she's stressed out. I remembered that girl who loved to lift people up with her words. I remembered someone who would not let anyone stop her from achieving what she wanted. I remembered who I was. I remembered myself saying, "Let's see what I will do if I'm in that situation." Even if I am not sure what I can exactly do when that moment comes, even if I'm not sure if I'm still alive to witness that, I remembered how hopeful I was. And I remembered how much faith I have that things will always work out. And even if they don't, it just means that it wasn't meant for me at all.
I just want to tell you that sometimes you have to remind yourself of the old you—the you who have lived and survived in the past—just to get you where you are right now. And remember that if you don't like where you are right now, you still have a chance to do something that might change where you're going. It might be a tough road to walk on. But the most important thing is that you've done something. You've never abandoned yourself and just given up on what you really want to do.
Hello, I'm just dropping by // ma.c.a
