truth resists simplicity.

Realising you don’t have to tell anyone anything about yourself or your life is.. a very liberating feeling.  Realising you can tell the trees and the rivers and the lakes and the mountains instead? Even more so.

being in stores that look like this and play this kind of music always makes me hyper-aware of aging and the inevitability of death

time to write a weird poem from the perspective of a deer in the headlights at 3 am 

together we will create a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no holes punched into the walls so hard that the foundation rocks and cracks. our home will be gentle, it will be warm. i will keep you safe and you will keep me still. no fear, no hurt, no worry. we come from broken and twisted places but together we will build something whole and safe. we will curl around each other like a pair of quotation marks at night, warm and comforted. in the mornings, you’ll sing in the shower again. we will heal, and we will raise a family that doesn’t need to heal.

im not being funny but artistry will save your life. music, painting, pottery, writing, carving, weaving, the act of creating will save you.
