hi there!! I've been following you for a little time but I must confess that your posts make me forget about how small and broke and hurt I've been feeling during the last years, I know there's something wrong with me and it's breaking me in two, I'd say I'm a lonely person, whenever I want to express my thoughts there's no one out there who can listen to me and I try to always understand them but I'm the one left always and in some way the pieces of those poems you posts make me feel like I do have a reason to be in this world, and I was wondering if you could have a collection of those for lonely ppl like me, ppl who feel so small but still think the sun shines the next day, it would mean the world to me. 💛
“…it is a little thing to say how lone it is — anyone can do it, but to wear loneliness next to your heart for weeks, when you sleep, and when you wake, ever missing something, this, all cannot say, and it baffles me.”
“‘Perhaps you will wake up and find the sun shining and the birds singing,’ she said compassionately. (…) ‘Perhaps it will be fine tomorrow,’”
“As members of human society, perhaps the most difficult task we face daily is that of touching one another—whether the touch is physical, moral, emotional or imaginary. Contact is crisis. As the anthropologists say, ‘Every touch is a modified blow.’”
“I was very often full of rage and despair. I was always lonely. In spite of all that I was and am in love with life.”
“I know that there are thorns in the hedges, but that does not prevent me from putting out my hands and finding flowers there. If all are not beautiful, all are interesting. Such is life! And if one does not take life like that, then how can one endure it?”
