Misguided Ghosts

ok i know we all go cuckoo crazy bananas for tender yearning pining whatever but i was just actually thinking about the roots of the word tender and how a —tender is someone who tends and that “tender” is not just concern and sympathy but also caring for and looking after and nourishing and tending which is a very gentle and beautiful thing and it’s all very “don’t you think they are maybe the same thing? love and attention?” and “i love you. i want us both to eat well.”

what if things go well? that’s a possibility.

Sometimes you read a line from a book and it’s like something from your own head or something from your journal. And that part of you is a bit more defined, a bit sharper, and a bit easier to understand and explain to others.

it can be tempting to live your life like a prequel. to live as if you’re setting up your own story.and once you lose the weight, once you have the money, once you graduate school, once you’re in a real relationship, once, once, once. then finally, you’ll begin to live, and everything you do up until that point is some kind of half-life, some unimportant foreword you can skip. don’t do this. inhabit your life completely. sink fully into the wealth of your existence. the power to manifest is in the fearless owning of who you are, so that you can shape where you’re going.
