mini bottles and jars

i collect bottles

small, mini bottles.

1 inch by 1.5 inch cork bottles, 

centimeter sized jars,

and they are functional

and quite cheap.

so when i buy these bottles and jars

it is done quite obsesively.

i can feel the dopamine rush when i see small, functional objects.

i own 4 cork bottles

20 jars

and they don't take up much room,

so i can buy them in bulk.

my mother never understands why 

i refer to this collection, these bottles, as "cute"

as if one would be attracted to these objects,

but when you fill these bottles,

with even smaller objects,

these habitats of color and fake life

blossom and become beautiful.

so,

try collecting mini bottles and jars

they might just find a special string in your heart to hold onto.

  • red lipstick

    one stick

    one swipe 

    that represents my love

    my adulthood

    so where is my lipstick?

    who's borrowing it tonight?

    who's borrowing my courage coat tonight?

    I need both to appear ready for anything

  • notes

    take note of everything I say

    my feelings are rooted in symbolism and poetry

    my femininity washes over me

    and a guilty realization sets in

    I get to play both parts in my head

    man and woman

  • limerence

    what can only be described as an unhealthy need for chaos

    chaos that fills an emotional void

    to be devoid of feeling is to loose your humanity

    your identity

    your self, and sense of self.

    I lost it once, too.
