chess isn’t always competitive. chess can also be beautiful. it was the board i noticed first. it’s an entire world of just 64 squares. i feel safe in it. i can control it. i can dominate it. and it’s predictable, so if i get hurt, i only have myself to blame.

“Please be patient with me. Sometimes when I’m quiet it’s because I need to figure myself out. It’s not because I don’t want to talk. Sometimes there are no words for my thoughts.”

— Kamla Bolanos

“I was always blue behind the red-blood stain on my lips

You were always green with envy, saw right through the tenderness

We were like a California sunset, fated to die any minute

Gettin' rid of you might be the best thing I ever did”

Head in the clouds

“Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.”
