dark days
When I’m stressed I typically go on walks. I have walked the streets of Charleston at all times of day and night. I know that I’m supposed to be careful and not walk at night alone, but I figure if I’m not drinking, and stay alert, I’m fine. But this past weekend a good friend of mine passed what looked like a normal college kid on her walk home and was asked if she was...

peggy in the twilight: 8:34 on a Sunday →
peggyinthetwilight: These may very well be the hours before death; Petaled and burning. They drip down the walls Red as candle wax on cork board. Cantalina, geronomo bay are black holes, Elipses from the map above my bed. But we’re stuck below the surface Watching through the floor. Shadows or dirt make our smiles… I wrote this poem right before I went home for winter break. A few days...

kafkasreincarnation: “I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you...

Is it weird,
That whenever there is turbulence on an airplane (even the scary kind) I have to physically restrain myself from throwing my hands up like I’m on a rollercoaster?

violent femme: hi →
likelava: i felt like doing something today that would put me in the position to feel sort of awkward and out of place. i feel like i’ve avoided it for so long and maybe it’s a rite of passage. to feel a little humiliated. to do something infront of people who don’t understand. so i went to a local coffee… I love your bravery and ease with words. I’m so glad you did this.

Sick & tired of being sick & tired.
I have never been much of a fitness enthusiast. I like to dance, I like to shop for long periods of time, & the only way I fully exhale is on long walks to the battery around sunset. But as far as deliberate physical activity goes, I’m not the biggest fan. Or at least I wasn’t. This past year I have spent more time than ever being sick (pericarditis in the spring, sinus infections,...
