Tell me a soft memory
“that’s just some dude” well i fuck with dudes. What do you want me to say
There are kind people in the world
There are people who would care for you
There are people who would love you without expecting you to suffer for it
There are people who would be your friend. Good friends, who don't want you to hurt
There is more to the world than the cruelty you were force-fed
I promise you
Culture is so obsessed with the idea of lone geniuses that it doesn't really appreciate that most of the progress of science (and likely every other discipline) occurs collaboratively, in babysteps, and usually through a lot very tedious, utterly unsexy, work.
I need a way to say this character makes me feel insane amounts of lust but not in a sexual or romantic way
I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.
It was the way you saw me, like I was a cherry a day too ripe, the bruise you got while scraping your knee from when you were five ( it hasn’t left, it never will ) , the color my eyelids saw when they were mourning the loss of never being known by you, how you imagine jellyfish to look like ( don’t touch it, don’t touch it )
I touch it, I am consumed, I transform. I did not drown, I chose to break the dominion.
A spare gravestone, I fall on it. It’s blurry ( the death of reappropriation ) the absurd moth you saw from your window sill , the act of letting it linger for far too long, a written letter that your mother tore out of anger, a wounded deer that won’t let anyone touch her ( stay away ) ( but it’s calling to me ) (or do you want to be called out to )
Sickly smooth, easy to touch. Soap covered hands, I bring them to my eyes, they sting. ( I thought it wouldn’t, not to this extent
But it is also feeling jealousy for the first time, it is also smelling burnt popcorn that my best friend made, I laugh ; it’s soft , it is okay

“ Sometimes a thing gets broken, and when you rebuild it, its stonger for it, you know? A lotta things are like that. You put a sword in a steel forge, you gotta beat the hell outta that thing to get it nice and hard and sharp, you know? Breaking things isn’t bad. ”
