It is November. The year on its deathbed. I have outlived my body so many times these months. Like wildflowers in concrete, I am trying to grow between the syllables of my name.

Fishermen in Gaza, I love this…such a beautiful sight

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.”

— Charlotte Eriksson, You’re Doing Just Fine

what can you say to someone who feels utterly alone and unloved?

your feelings are valid, but not a mirror of reality. you are neither alone nor unloved; the fact that you feel unloved reflects your ability to love, so why not pour your love into yourself and be your own companion? you are your highest priority

btw if you tell me something and i reply with “oh???” that’s the equivalent of a dog’s ears perking up
