strive. yearn. hope.

here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through. 

Marry me.

I think it’s important that y’all know there are 37 fanworks featuring this character on AO3.

Can you imagine how fucking wild ladies must have gone for the rejection in pride and prejudice right after it was first published. This guy’s making ten thousand a year and her family is expecting her to find accommodation for herself sooner rather than later and STILL Lizzie is like “no. No. True love only. And also while I’ve got you here please accept my invitation to fuck off.” I would’ve lost my damn gourd, I would’ve gone bonkers. And group chats didn’t exist so you’d just have to hope your friends were as far into the book as you so you could meet at the village green to throw a fucking riot

i write you into every universe that i create and in each one you are full of some kind of light

my life is simple these days— i set my alarm for seven or seven thirty, get out of bed at eight or nine. i brush my teeth and wash my face with cold water. i turn on the kettle and step outside to feel the temperature and most days the heat dances on my skin right away. i make tea. i drink the tea. i read whatever i am currently reading and after, i write. or i think about writing. after, i try to remember my dreams. if they come back to me, i tell them to the people who are in them. sometimes they are long and detailed and i can recall expressions. sometimes they are fleeting and all i get is a glimpse, a whiff of something familiar. when i have work, i get ready for work. when i don’t, i go for walks. i clean. i call my grandmother. i write letters and go to the post office. i practice the piano. i delete emails. i swim. i go on brunch dates, lunch dates, dinner dates with my friends. i laugh. i watch everything on netflix. i take my time because i hope this life will be long. it is not a big life at the moment. but it is something. it is big enough for me and everyone i love so it is enough. it will expand, i don’t doubt that. it will move into a bigger space when i am not ready for it and i will probably cry a lot. but it is this for now. it is this small, mundane thing that i don’t mind, that i even love.
