Allison’s Emerald City

the year is 2023. I abandon my partying phase and stop caring. AllI I do is work and study and start romancing myself. I start wearing glasses and stop caring about what anyone thinks. I make myself intricate breakfasts and go on walks and write myself letters. I throw myself into my research and I go full nerd. Nothing else matters but the peace I have and I’m holding on to it as hard as I can. All breaks in my spirit begin to just feel like wrinkles in silk chiffon. It was a year I came out better than I came in.

it’s 2024 and I’m happy and full of light and love

it’s 2025 and I’m married and a young professional and I’m still healing but that’s ok. Every day I walk in a world that does not speak my language and the face around me do not look like mine, but I’m still kind when I can be. I’m not as shattered as I was when I entered adulthood. I’ve put my little soul on a throwing wheel and I lovingly push and pull as I see fit, testing the limits and compensating for collapse. I’m full of forgiveness and I have become light. I exude love. and it’s an honor to share.

had a dream i found a tape labelled “sex tape” and when i played it in a vcr it was just two fully clothed guys beating the shit out of each other with metal bats

u could never understand a warriors bond

i say "godspeed, soldier" way too much for someone who puts their faith in neither god nor the military

Mewtwo….

#every time I see this picture I am briefly overwhelmed#this piece of art outlived its context and milieu#but. but. in reality there is no such thing#because art is made anew with every glance. it comes to life. awakens laughing#and time compresses. softens. the past is not so much a mystery if we remember we weren’t the first to dance.#this is what art is for#this is what it can do#it doesn’t only speak to us of our own humanity#it reminds us that humanity is shared. this girl isn’t dancing in a mirror. she is dancing with a friend.#paintings don’t simply show us the world. they help teach us how to live in it.
