Poetry in your eyes

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.

the kid from the nanny mcphee movie is no longer a kid

Das war nicht unser Jahr, ham wir gedacht. Doch im Rückblick war’s übergut, wunderbar!

if she mentions it more than once, it’s bothering her.

Let’s get drunk together so I can kiss you and blame it on the vodka.

1. Lay on the floor of your shower until you can breathe again. Water will always love to love your skin. 2. Start writing with the intention of filling up one page. Write until your pen stops working. 3. Reread a book that once made you cry. Learn something new on every page. Notice how different chapters make you sad. Notice how the book didn’t change and grow; you did. 4. Sleep with your windows open. You can hear both the rain and boys drunkenly singing Frank Sinatra on their deck. Both are equally good. 5. Don’t forget that honey will always taste sweet, but the best way to eat it is off your fingers, laughing. 6. Remember that, sometimes, getting out of bed is enough.

1. If you don’t like the way he kisses you, you won’t like the way he fucks you. Get up and leave. 2. If he won’t go down on you, but expects you to go down on him, laugh. Get up and leave. 3. If you don’t want to do something and he doesn’t respect that, slap him round the face. Get up and leave. 4. If he isn’t okay with the imperfections on your skin, if he says they turn him off, get up and leave. 5. If you don’t want to shave your legs and he thinks that’s disgusting and refuses to touch them, get up and leave. 6. If he doesn’t see your body as a masterpiece, as a complete work of art, get up and leave. 7. If he makes you feel uncomfortable about any part of your body, get up and leave.
