at the end of the day, it’s you and your long distance best friend against the world

what Work is the most important? the work you have to do next. narrow the scope of focus down to that singular glittering point.

open a new window somewhere in the world. 

i love this because it’s such a simple concept but it answers things i didn’t even know how to ask

Looking out of people’s windows is such a peaceful way of travelling… I got a snowfall in Argentina, a nice sea view in Ukraine, a clothes line in the fog in Bangalore. Antonella from Tavernaro, I like your wooden bird.

nobody talk to me nobody touch me i live here now. this is my new favorite thing.

Controversial opinion, but I think it's good to have stories about how people who have done terrible, horrible things can and should try to become better. Especially in societies/under governments that demonize and dehumanize criminals as a whole. Writing off any group of people as irredeemable is wrong and runs the risk of parroting fascist ideals.

I think "fuck you, I hate your work and I will do it myself and I will do it better" is a really funny and epic sentiment. i started publishing poetry because an ex boyfriend of mine was publishing really ass poetry in a bunch of journals and I was like "Jesus christ, this is garbage, I could do that, and I could do it better." now I have a page in the Academy of American Poets and I've published a full length collection and his website says "former poet." You should win by succeeding way harder than they do. Spite is a legitimate energy source.

Honestly I only started writing in my genre field because I saw people much worse than me be really confident about their work.

Do care. Did ask. Plus I hope your day gets better.
