It’s 1123 pm
and I am writing because it’s
dangerous for me to be alone with my thoughts right now.
the world is an unfair place, you know? you work and worry and feel and sometimes-
sometimes it doesn’t pay off.
sometimes you are
left on the ground
with your wrists snapped and your
legs shattered and your
heart crushed
by the weight of the world.
sometimes you pour out your love, give all your passion to the people and things you would
give everything to,
give every ounce of
You.
and sometimes, it still doesn’t pay off.
but still, you keep doing it because maybe one day it will love you as much as you love it.
But the more I am left
half-dead, the more I think that the world is really just trying to remind us to look for those people.
because even when life crushes your very bones, those people who you have gone
through wins and losses with,
saw hurt and change and power with, the ones who you have laughed and loved and
lived with,
they will pull you back up. they will take one look at you and help you from the ground, hold you into their own arms when you can’t stand on your own feet.
Yeah. So just
remember that yeah, the world can destroy you, but being destroyed can also reveal the ones who love you as much as you love them.
Who would do anything for you, just as you would
for them.
The ones who pull you up

lessons of the forest
I wander through the woods. The day is cool and dry, with a wind blowing that smells of wood and fallen leaves. The bracken has begun to brown, though the Joe pye weed and goldenrod still stand strong.

an encounter
Fear is such a funny thing, which looks at you with no humor in its gaze
and never blinks wide eyes, and is thin and crippled and seething, and has tears glinting off its cheeks, and is
small and alone -
