I wonder if I set my heart on impossibilities so that I know with a certainty I won’t succeed. It’s a hurt less painful than the other option.

Why do we write?
We write because there is an intangible, ever-present yearning that burns within us. We write because we are the bearers of a hundred thousand stories, real even when unreal. Because within fiction, we find truth. We write because we suffocate under this caul of silence. We were conceived with an indecipherable sigh of pleasure, born into this world with a cry of terror. Yet even this cry is a...

I sat on the roof and watched the clouds roll in, smothering the bright lights of San Francisco.
We are no more than the embers of a cigarette. Pulled into life, and fighting to flare brighter before growing weak again. Each drag another attempt to burn and scream to the world, “I AM HERE” before you fade away into nothing but ash.

In class, we had to write about a childhood space. Deluge of memories, and as I sit here in the front row, the smell of someone like a character from my childhood flooding my body with nostalgia.

Sex Without Love by Sharon Olds
How do they do it, the ones who make love without love? Beautiful as dancers, gliding over each other like ice-skaters over the ice, fingers hooked inside each other’s bodies, faces red as steak, wine, wet as the children at birth whose mothers are going to give them away. How do they come to the come to the come to the God come to the still waters, and not love the one who came there with...

estherbeekim asked: will you be my other half, forever and ever? even after you graduate, even after 10 years, even if we go our own ways, so when we're grandmas .. we'll be sipping tea, eating finger food, and laughing like we're in college again. :]

things that make me happy
When my friends video chat with me just so I can (poorly) hum a song that I know no words to to try and help me figure it out.
