💙 🌌 Want 🌌 💙

She turned hesitantly with tears in her eyes. Her hands clenched in white knuckled fists around the fabric of her shirt as she croaked out,

“You have no idea…how much I. Want. You.

How much I feel...how much I crave...that kind of connection with you.

I want... I just want...to hold you, cradle your face, wrap my arms around you and never let go.

I want to tell you why I believe in you, help you see all the good you do, and be your biggest supporter. I want to soothe the worry lines between your brows, to remove the tension from your shoulders, be the one you wake up from your nightmares to, and be the one you come running home to.

I want to see your smile reach your eyes every single day. I want to talk with you for hours, tease you relentlessly, be the reason you laugh yourself silly because that’s when I know you’re the farthest from what’s ever hurt you.”

The absolute broken anguish in her voice, shattered my heart. The longing in her soul somehow reached through time and space to brush against mine, and I could feel the bond between our shared ache. “I just want to be with you...in any way I can...”

My Book Review

The beauty of the human condition paired with preexisting words from around the world that are molded into new ones with emotive, poetic meanings. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a collection of essays, fresh words and vivid explanations — created by the author — that are sensory-inducing, illuminative, and whimsical. 

Here’s an excerpt:

kenopsia: the atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.

dès vu: the awareness that this moment will become a memory.

nodus tollens: the feeling that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore.

énouement: the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, seeing how things turn out, but unable to tell your past self.

onism: the frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time.

sonder: the realization that each random passerby is the main character of their own story, in which you are just an extra in the background.

It’s a calming thing, to learn there’s a word for something you’ve felt all your life but didn’t know was shared by anyone else.

This is a logophile’s dream of a book. Only 272 pages, it leaves you longing for its unending.

Argh!

The British Library Fantasy exhibition finishes at the end of February. So far, so fine. I can scrape together the pennies for one trip.

Except…

Obviously I’m not going to stalk poor Michael Sheen, I’m genuinely interested in this talk and, looking at the schedule, I’m interested in the entire bloody thing.

Bugger bugger bugger. Millennium hand and shrimp.

Gotsta scrape together the pennies!!

[words-from-a-ripped-soul]

I can feel anxiety crippling in my skin again, as if every little thing I do will make me crumble into pieces.

Overthinking became a second nature. As if everything I said, or I did was a big mistake that I will regret for the rest of my fragile life.

I want to stay still and do nothing. Or sleep out all these surging and overwhelming emotions I feel. I want to stay still because I feel so vulnerable, so weak. I can imagine my heart dropping at my feet and my bones crushing into pieces at my mistakes- even though they aren't there.

My mind keeps telling me I don't do anything right. Or if I did, it was not enough. It was basic, senseless, tasteless. As if I did it without an ounce of effort. As if everything I did is mediocre, like I am.

Average. Just okay, but never great. Never the best.

🙊🤔 Reflection 🤔🙊

I chew my bottom lip as I glance at my reflection in the mirror.

The same familiar curves stare back at me as I turn this way and that.

I had a good body, one that was sturdy and strong.

It got the job done at the end of day, so I really didn't feel the need to complain.

But in these quiet moments with just me and my reflection, I can't help but wonder as I slowly run a hand over my arm.

Would there ever be a person drawn to me? To this lil ole body of mine? To me?

Would there ever really be hands who yearned to trace this skin? Would one day someone find comfort in this softness even as limited that I felt that it was?

Maybe… even pleasure?

I let out a slow sigh and turn my head this way and that in the mirror before slowly coming to cup my own face.

I stick out my togue at my reflection and blow a raspberry.

Maybe not today, but…maybe…hopefully one day?

Hiraeth (n.) a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return; a home which maybe never was; the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past.

Modern and Classic Generations......

What really is the difference between the young and old, despite the physical difference, but even that factor can be considered more like a blur..

  "All History Is a Current Event"-unknownPersonally, I used to think a lot of elements were different, the sun, the moon; black and white people; red and blue; modern and retro, well you get where I am coming from, but as I have grown to analyze these elements, I discovered that these concepts have different parts and mechanics...yes; meanwhile, these parts come from one source with the colors being created from one color source, the sun and moon being birthed from the universe, and dark and light- complexioned beings are apart  and make up humanity. Now, to get back to the topic, old and young ways of living are not merely different, but are only living based on what they learned or know.

As I was growing older or younger, as some say either or, I was always told the generation that I live in is terrible and that they do not having any morals or "home-training" so to speak, then you have some elders feeling or thinking that their generations do not share responsibility for the behaviors and antics that the new generation is exemplifying or showing. Till this day, there is this thick and visible barrier between young and older generations from they way they act, to clothes, music, style of dressing, to the current issues that our society deals with today. This separation anxiety that some people are still holding onto needs to stop, it only brings disconnect and turmoil between another, both groups have a lot to learn and do in order for future generations to take better care of humanity and this planet, which is burning rather quickly by the way.

For instance, I am going to use music as a separated concept that both parties feel are different(when its really not), the elders feel that their descendants act in foolishly and shame themselves based on the music that is being play currently, while the descendants feel that the past music is boring and worthless, maybe not exactly in these words but close to how they feel. I am a lover of classic and older music, but I have admiration and love for current music as well; meanwhile, music and many other forms of living are nothing but manifestations of past inventions...look at technology, like a pen and notebook filled with trees as paper has now been transformed into a notebook personal computer, so one could not survive or be made without the other.

This may be a little off-topic, but I have so much appreciation and admiration for nature because the very makings and beings that help each system function do not have battles about which group has done worse or contributed, all elements and components work together to bring harmony, peace, and love into their habitat. When you have time, just sit outside and observe how the birds, squirrels, trees, plants, and other organic element play into each other no matter how long they lived on this planet, but how they are able to interact with one another to bring a shift into their existence.

Something had trigger me to cover or mention this topic, originally I was going to write about my loc journey, but I will save that for another time...anyhow young and old still experience this imagined thought and perspective that we are so different from each other, and how could that be when the young was birthed from the old, where the elders taught the young everything that they know and the pattern continues many lifetimes.

Looking at the crimes that has taken place, from racial profiling from police brutality which effects each one of us, of course, these crimes have a bigger effect on others, but it sill has a impact on all of us. Police brutality is a criminal act, just like robbing has been around, since people and objects were brought together, but back on police brutality which is a popular and viewed act that has become a common practice that others are constantly indoctrinated to seeing on new stations like CNN and NBC, but again what is new, police brutality has been around, ever since police were formed into society. Now, this is not specifically on the age groups, but it still brings another idea on how a lot of current events have been seen in earlier lifetimes are deem to be outside or different because we're in a different time zone.

It is time to fill this imaginary gap that has made others feel superior and inferior to one another, which is blocking all of us to bring the change needed to make humanity thrive again. Just my thoughts on a link

P.S. I wrote this piece yeearrs ago, some thoughts I resonate and some differently, but read away and share your thoughts ;-)

Word Nerd: Heliotropic

Heliotropic is the property of some plants of turning under the influence of light. Heliotropic is derived from helio- (a combining form meaning “sun”) and -tropic (a combining form with the meanings “turned toward, with an orientation toward”). Heliotropic was first used around 1870-1875. Heliotropic is a word often used in the plant world since many flowers and plants are heliotropic. I think…

Forever calling myself an “ink drinker” now.

(Stolen from Writers Write on FB, and it’s funny because my high school creative writing teacher once said that all writers are liars and thieves for the good of the literary world because we steal lines of dialogue and tell stories that aren’t true.)
