this place just drains me, I guess. what else is there to do at 6 AM other than contemplate all the ways in which failure permeates everything, remember very slowly what it feels like to fall in love, or reach for the first time in many months the point at which one has no choice but to give up? I’m tired, and sick, and with my filter gone I have no urge to throw a disclaimer on that. ...

10 Ways to Love Others
ohapoeticsoul: Some guidelines for loving: 1. Tell them about their brilliance. They likely can’t see it and they don’t know its immensity, but you can see it, and you can illuminate it for them. 2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions. Share your real beliefs. Go for your real dreams. Tell your truth. 3. Don’t confuse...

you look great! have you lost weight?
broadist: ATTN: “You look great! Have you lost weight?” is not a compliment. I know it has been the go-to praise-route towards many women since the inception of puberty, but I’d like to put an end to it. Why do I hear this like a broken record every holiday? Some alternatives: You look great! How are your new jobs going? You look great! How is your blog doing? You look great! Things seem to...

– On Turning Ten by Billy Collins (emphasis mine, just a few lines that resonated then and still do to some extent) I remember this. I clung to it because it was the way I felt growing up, but now all I feel is that no matter how much time passes, everything is always growing and getting better, or...

casimirpulaskiday: Why are you leaving me? He wrote, I do not know how to live. I do not know either but I am trying.  I do not know how to try.  There were some things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So I buried them and let them hurt me. Jonathan Safran Foer this.

Scheherazade, Richard Siken →
nps2011: Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake                                                              and dress them in warm clothes again.         How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running until they forgot they are horses.                It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,        it’s more like a song on a policeman’s...
