Chill out!
Surrender, Earthlings!
Amethyst Angel 💐 Author IconMail Icon I second that sentiment.
The fact that somebody looked right at a purple onion and named it 'red onion' really irritates me.

It must be the same person who name the Red Bud tree. It's pink. *Laugh*
There are four things in life that will change you. Love, music, art, and loss. The first three will keep you wild and full of passion. May you allow the last to make you brave.

Erin Van Vuren
At every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss.

To fall half in love with someone, be alone.

Be alone for so long that you forget how to properly fall, that you forget anything but sideways glances and chance encounters and whomever you're standing closest to when the bar lights come on at the end of the night.

To fall half in love, lose faith in people. Decide that everyone leaves and everyone screws up and that you are more than included in that pool. Tell yourself that there was a time and a place for love, but it was long, long ago, and not here. Decide that for a long time, half-hearted replications are all that you're going to get. Decide that nothing's going to feel like it once did, and let that be okay. Let yourself accept that as a cold, inevitable truth.

To fall half in love, make a mistake. Linger one moment too long at a bar or café. Invite the wrong person into your bed. Listen too intently to somebody's story and fail to realize that we can fall in love entirely accidentally. Fail to realize the moment in which the chain-link barrier around your heart lowers and lets something in because it has been up for so long that you forgot it was not entirely indestructible. For a long time, fail to realize that you can feel anything at all.

I like punk because it says there's still something to fight for. I like goth because it says even when things get dark, beauty can exist within it. I like Appalachian bluegrass because it says pick up your banjo and hit a politician with it.

A great lifetime goal.
If you simply cannot understand why someone is grieving so much for so long, then consider yourself fortunate that you do not understand.

I don't love music because of how it sounds. I love music because of how it makes me feel.

Nobody offers to show me a cool rock they found anymore.

Adulthood is so dumb.

They're not hanging out with the right people. A few years ago, I spent a week in Colorado with astronomers and geologists, and I had a LOT of cool rocks (Earthbound and in space) pointed out to me.
I love looking for rocks and showing off what I find and I am well into adulthood. *Laugh*
Feeling the need to be busy all the time is a trauma response and fear-based distraction from what you'd be forced to acknowledge and feel if you slowed down.

When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.

Friedrich Nietzsche
With all of my
capacity of wonder,
I am but a poet before perfection,
rambling in vain attempts
to capture a pause.

Arh.
I want Al to do my laundry and dishes...
so that I can do art and writing.
Not for Al to do my art and writing
so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

Yes. YES. YES!
Your terrible job is the dream of the unemployed. Your house is the dream of the homeless. Your smile is the dream of the depressed. Your health is the dream of the ill. Don't let difficult times make you forget your blessings.
