Icarus Has Abandoned Me:
Icarus has abandoned me:
The cosmos cries comets, the moon bleeds lullabies, and here i am, icarus; i, who can bear the quarrels of fate and time no more. you sought the sun, but did the sun seek you back? does it mourn you, or am i the only one doing that?
Who's stars am i aligning, are they mine? certainly that is what i was told (did you not tell me that, icarus) . those promises that I kept safe so dearly in my pockets, how did they find me? who am i to chase after the remarkable (i thought i could, in the name of you, icarus).
i, who sought icarus, can hear him no more. i am searching. where are you?
it is your time to find me, icarus; search for me. heal me. answer me.

Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.

I studied for 6 hours today. It feels so good to study. I wish for academia to take over my life and consume me. I want to be a workaholic.
You threw me to the crows, but it turns out I prefer them to you.

To everyone who's going through loss in life, whether it be a person, wealth, your job, your health; it's okay to be vulnerable and to complain 🌻 Just know that this feeling of grief isn't forever and it's all gonna be okay.
I'm proud of you 🌻
