Time alone doesn’t mean I have an attitude. Time alone means I need space to think. Time alone means I need time to process. Time alone means I need breathing room. Time alone means I want the luxury of disconnecting. Time alone means checking my energy. Time alone means recharging. Time alone is essential.

“Just simple days. Simple days of laughing lots and breathing deep and loving with my whole heart and feeling that love back. That’s all I’m really looking for now.”

S.C. Lourie

I am a weeping sore under a half picked scab

A festering wound

I am the shadow of a former self that hoped for more

A dreamer that slowly opened her eyes

And realised the world is not for dreams

I am a mother that is always hungry and tired

Walking on the edge of a cliff

Hoping not to fall

And some days praying for the peace that comes with hitting the bottom

I am tired, all the time, but never asleep

I hunger for a life that does not belong to me

And wallow in the grief of knowing it never will

I want what I cannot have

And like a child with a greedy face pushed against a window

Staring at the sweets within

I crave simplicity and security that is not mine to crave

I am a haunting symphony filled with notes of blue

That drifts from a corner to dark to turn

I am hatred and frustration

I am alone, stuck in a position I never wanted.

I am a weeping sore under a half picked scab

And yet

I keep on picking and picking

Until it bleeds.

ruthless feminine rules:

1. you must be willing to walk away at all times. doesn’t matter what you feel, how well they meant, how good they are, as soon as you feel icky, you take yourself and leave.

2. you must be disciplined enough yourself to discipline men. that means: no yelling, no paragraphs, no over explaining. actions.

3. stay far away from people who try to humble you (especially men).

4. you must reward inconsistency with unavailability.

5. a man is worth nothing unless and until he has provided you enough financial resources and consistent respectful communication.

6. you must dress well, eat well, take care of your health,looks, finances regardless of how you feel.

7. same rules for everybody in this world. your sense of self does not give people discounts.
