In any burning building there are at least two exits but when everything's red how are you supposed to read the signs?

Is there any chance you could make a web weaving of wanting to be a better parent than one’s own? Like a protective individual wanting to spite a bloodline of pain to foster love and care to their own child? To be better that one’s own parents? I think a web weaving of this would be gorgeous!

What I thought was forever was just last year. My body has attempted every rebellion at least twice. Like ice in a snowstorm, the future has solidified on the doorknobs. It asks me for the key. There's no way I'm making it out of here alive.

“I Wish I Could Live Through Something” — Caitlin Conlon

after Lady Bird

as in, I wish anything I’ve lived through would finally end. As in, wish I could say what the other side of grief looks like but I’m still wading through the relentless center of it. As in, I’ve removed fistfuls of last words from the back of my stomach and cannot remember any of them, but maybe that’s for the better. Have you ever slept wrong on a terrible memory? Slept worse on good one? I’ll be blunt: my trauma has begun to bore me. This wicked heart is yearning for the power of hindsight.

I just want to look at something and know, without ever having to kiss its face, that I can survive it.

YOU COOKED FOR ME

once, in the time that we were together. Pasta. Vegetarian.

I leaned against your doorway, not yet comfortable in any place that belonged to you, and said how touched I was that you'd listen to my nervous babble on our first date. No meat, but dairy is fine.

It felt like the kindest thing anyone had ever done for me — mixing handmade pesto in a white bowl. Clearing away a stack of unopened mail from a stool so I could sit and watch the steam rise.

In retrospect I can see that you gave me very little and I tried to build an entire future with it.

You must understand, I had never been remembered like that, before.

With purpose. Without begging for it.

I took what I was offered and ran.

-Caitlin Conlon, The Surrender Theory
