Thinking This Way Changes Everything About Life. Whenever I Align My Mindset With What I Want I Can Feel

romanticizing my anxiety by calling myself a false prophet

Behold, a spiral of insanity

You don't understand

— Franz Kafka // Richard Siken

After hesitating for forever to share poems online (like my overthinking brain usually does) I finally posted one about how I was feeling at the time. One of my moots on insta told me I inspired her to start writing poetry again. Moral of the story is, do art and be bold, bc you never know who needs to see what you create. Even if the only one who needs it is you. That is important and that is enough.

This is your call to action.

I just opened Tumblr, I did NOT expect to be slapped in the feelz like that😭

And from between my ribs will sprout little weeds, from the shallow surface of my shallow grave --

I care not if they are pretty, or invasive --

If I couldn't be filled with someone's love, in life? then at least I can be a home for something living, in death.

V. Rue, 2025.

Why aren't cuddle hookups a thing? I just want someone to drop everything at midnight to come and hold me for a long time. Just because I seem soft and beautiful, and they need to be held too. I want to run my fingers through someone's hair.

That is all.

As you were, peasants.

I looked at myself in the mirror while blow drying my hair and said "we are so back" in that over dramatic Disney kid tone of voice, and I immediately started hearing groovy background music playing in my head.

"Hi, the names Reverie, I'm the new kid in this town. Nobody knows who I am, but they will."

I would prefer to ache than to feel nothingness. I want to listen to songs that make me double over in emotional agony because pain is beautiful. Pain connects us. I want to skip down the street and run over train tracks. I want to be early to weddings in my best dress, and stay late at house parties helping my friend get the crumbs out of their couch. I want to sway with the ocean. I want to grow like a sunflower, to face the sun and have no regrets.
