When I Was Born, The Word For What I Was Did Not Exist.

I seek for the universe yet it does not seek me back; a travesty, it called me.
The moon weeped the stars alive, and then me. It weeped me alive.
So mon amour, I am not just any travesty, but the moon's.
I am the moon's travesty.
“You have always been the worst of my children,” he said. “Be sure to not dishonor me.”
“I have a better idea. I will do as I please, and when you count your children, leave me out.

is wanting to vibe under wisteria with my chai and a book too much to ask for?
The thought was this: that all my life had been murk and depths, but I was not a part of that dark water. I was a creature within it.

Make it stop

So, I've been pretty productive today. Did groceries and attended the lectures. Need to do a chap rn. I need to study and do well. I'll study till 9pm and then, sleep. Slept a good 10 hours yesterday. Sleep is the most important thing ever.
i no longer find the need to explain myself or the vast multitudes i contain.
some times what i feel is much too big, somehow entirely intangible and incomprehensible for the world at face value and i have made my peace with it.
i do, however, have a habit of leaving clues as footnotes, in digressions, in parentheses, and annotations in margins.
only those that pay attention may understand.
I love the creased spines of paperbacks, and I'm pretty sure the book wears those creases with pride; "I have not just been read, I have been devoured"
