Why Does Healing Have to be So Lonely?

Do not fall in love With people like me. people like me will love you so hard that you turn into stone into a statue where people come to marvel at how long it must have taken to carve that faraway look into your eyes Do not fall in love with people like me we will take you to museums and parks and monuments and kiss you in every beautiful place so that you can never go back to them without tasting us like blood in your mouth Do not come any closer. people like me are bombs when our time is up we will splatter loss all over your walls in angry colors that make you wish your doorway never learned our name do not fall in love with people like me. with the lonely ones we will forget our own names if it means learning yours we will make you think hurricanes are gentle that pain is a gift you will get lost in the desperation in the longing for something that is always reaching but never able to hold do not fall in love with people like me. we will destroy your apartment we will throw apologies at you that shatter on the floor and cut your feet we will never learn how to be soft we will leave. we always do.

wed | 05.25.22 [9/100 days of productivity]

been missing two posts of this, honestly i’m still catching up with my motivation and there’s nothing worth romanticizing for, but i’ll try to stay consistent while i’m at it. for the past two days, i did:

• watch another movie a girl with the dragon tattoo (2011) with a friend over discord (mixed feelings and very graphic)

• groceries shopping (i started cooking again, it’s just the best coping mechanism)

• crosscheck my intl scw journal before finally submitting it (i procrastinated this for so long because the variables started to become unclear to me, revision is a must)

• cook two meals by myself, tuna spaghetti and spicy tuna enoki 

• attend a social development class (i skipped a few classes beforehand, feels like i’m still stuck in time)

• arrange an interview with the committee at my internship place, which is an NGO (scheduled for friday, it’s for a primary data)

• start reading how to die by seneca 

This is how you move on

Brown University students are launching an indefinite hunger strike for Palestine

they are asking for their university to divest from companies profiting from the genocide in gaza and openly call for a ceasefire and will not eat until the university governing bodies hears and considers a divestment resolution. if you are not familiar with the physical toll a hunger strike takes on the body, it might be worth looking up to get a better sense of what a significant action these students are taking. the university's highest governing body is having their first meeting of 2024 on february 8-9th so let's rally around them to muster even more pressure on brown university.

brown university contact page: let's state our support for these students and let brown university know the world will be watching what happens next!

whitby abbey, where dracula arrived in england

I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.

I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.
