To anyone who uses the unkindness of others as fuel for them to strive harder to be kind, as you hope to become someone you wished you had by your side when you were struggling, I hope you know you are a positive force in this world, and that this shines in so many ways. Please do something kind for you today too, for the younger version of you who would be so proud of who they become, because you persevered and rose above the indifference of others.

one thing i really love about humans is that we laugh when we are alone. there is no one to show our delight to, no one who we must perform for, no social cue to politely pick up on, and yet, when reading a book, watching a movie, seeing something funny happen outside the window, we laugh. we laugh not because we have to or because we have learned to, but because it is our natural reaction to joy. we laugh because we want to

Forever is the state, exclusive to those between the ages of 13 and 17, in which one feels both eternally invincible and permanently trapped.

one day we are going to live in a house together. no- an apartment. one day we are going to live in an apartment together. and the cupboards will always be full. and the fridge will always be clean. and the dishes will be there. the dishes will be mis-matched and colourful and half thrifted half dollarama impulse buys because you know i can’t resist anything that comes in the colour orange. you’ll know that. you’ll roll your eyes every time i come home with a new bright orange mug but i will place it in the cupboard like it’s a trophy case anyways. and when we have tea at night i will drink out of my silly oversized orange mug and you will laugh at me as i stir four whole spoons of sugar into a perfectly good mug of tea.
i’m going to learn how to make dishes. i’ve always wanted to use a pottery wheel. i am going to paint those dishes orange and yellow too. i’m gonna make you hate orange and yellow by the time we’re forty. i’m going to make you a mug. another stupid orange mug. i am going to make you a mug and i am going to press my thumbprint softly into the handle right where i know yours will rest. i never thought i’d live long enough to have my own dishes.
we are going to have a kitchen with no broken glass or holes in the walls. no rot or mold. we are going to have a kitchen that is a space of joy, where the 2am laughter can’t even annoy our neighbours because we always show up with ‘i’m-sorry-for-the-noise’ cookies the very next day. and most of all, we are going to have a kitchen that just overflows with orange fucking mugs.

i will never not have belief in, and hope for humanity. and if i am killed slowly and painfully by the same people i valued, i would have died for what i belived in. and in turn, i will die believing that my death will inspire at least a few to do what they can to continue the human growth towards a better life for all.

Look at this gorgeous coffee I made earlier ~
One of my favorite things to do is watch the milk dance through the coffee and the ice. It's art. It's joy and magic and simple.
Enjoy the little things ☕

We love hungrily consuming poetry.
Someone said the quiet part out loud.
What we're devouring is vicarious vulnerability.
We're starving to express ourselves safely.
I love
I desire
I need
I hurt
I grieve
I feel...

2023:
Even the smallest joy matters, even if it doesn’t last. Life is supposed to be enjoyed and it is not morally reprehensible to do so.
Your health matters more than any material thing you sacrifice it for.
Life is not supposed to be made of sacrifices.
Your dreams are not too big “for someone like you”. You are not too small to dream big.
Everything is temporary. Use the time you have to love and be loved, to enjoy this life a little, to create the relationships you seek, the safe home you need.
Community is what kept us evolving. The human thing is to ask for help.
Perfectionism is the enemy if you want to get things done. Progression above perfection, always. You don’t have to be so anxious to prove your worth, you are already enough. You can do this.
Guilt and shame are common emotions to us all, but they should not dictate your whole life.

listening to 'who we are' for the first time was a religious experience.
to hold me like water
or, Christ, hold me like a knife
we're born at night
so much of our lives
is just carving through the dark
to get so far
and the hardest part
is who are
it's who we are
you only feel it when it's lost
getting through still has its cost
quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
falling from you drop by drop
like dude. that's going to take 10-15 business days to process
