this year, if your head rings from screens and lights and cold, go and stand in the sun. just for a moment. say hello to your world
terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.
for everyone alone on new years eve tonight… turn off your phone. Don’t watch people’s stories and don’t scroll through their posts. Don’t be afraid to start this decade with yourself. Do something nice for them- they are always with you, after all. This is one of the most idealized nights of the year, but real life isn’t always the joy of a party. Sometimes its the joy of chopping yourself some vegetables or petting your cat. Your life has changed in this decade, and it will change in the next one. Be patient and do not be afraid to be alone.
(and if you are… remember you are not alone in being alone. For everyone posting their party dress, there is someone who making up a story to tell their friends about their night. That person is with you. I am with you. If you hold out your hand, mine will be in it)
that picture of hugh dancy while he was at oxford is sending me into the most pitiable state imaginable. i want to paint him.
i feel unwell.
you’re an endless muse. the face that’s gone lives on to inspire every deadbeat side of the road wordfilled brain. i think i’ll always love you. i think you’ll always make me laugh.
winter break is just losing your memory on the car back home and waking up with 78 new poems in the notes app when your brain turns back on
Who would you fan cast to play yourself in a movie? DONT be humble I wanna know

don’t show the music you liked when you were twelve to anyone. nostalgia just tastes like her now
ARTEMIS: lady of the wild things, deep forests, animals and wild hunt. Goddess of the moon and guardian of the young girls and women.
Our Apple tree will become more simple and more poor, but at last it will grow ruddy mellow fruits.
