I want to throw a party for the
heartbreak
that turned you into a poet.

Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
— Franz Kafka

Recent visuals I'm into.

His voice rolls
and humms
so deeply
I feel it like honey on my tongue
my vagina stirs
opens and awakes
I feel each syllable
deeply inside of me
as if the echos of his words
have crawled inside of me
coaxed and asked
kissed until it is wet
ready to take inside
all of this
from a red hot chilli pepper song
— Janne Robinson

And I said, ‘I feel so lonely’, and he said ‘Lie down and tell me about it.’

It's hard to say goodbye to summer. There are some visuals and sounds to hold onto.

I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they need constant attention & one day I decided I had better things to do.

It's therapeutic to begin writing again. Here is a short piece on the hesitation felt when developing as a person. Growing up and standing in your full power is intimidating, and it can be tempting to stay in your comfort zone. 

 

Being connected

In a world disconnected

Is uncomfortable as hell

I'm getting to know myself, just now

Someone I neglected for 25 years

Someone I drowned out with smart phones & Netflix & vibrators & Pinot

She isn't letting me ignore her much anymore

She makes my tummy ache

She makes my hangovers hurt like hell

She throws tantrums until I say

Hi

You

When she's scared, I tell her I'm here

When she's lonely, I tell her she doesn't have to be alone anymore

When she's mad, I validate her feelings

This relationship scares me

I avoid it often

Probably because

It's the most important one I'll ever have

And I'm terrified of how powerful I will become with her by my side

Power means responsibility

And I like my Netflix & wine a lil too much
