Not me quoting "Interview with a Vampire" to my therapist during an EMDR session. (In which adult me tells teenage me, "I'm going to give you the choice I never had.") πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I think of heartbreak like sticking a pinkie into the spindle
hole to wind the pulled-loose tape taut and expecting it to play
the same as it did before.

Most of your writing will never see the light of day. But neither do diamonds until someone digs them up. Keep going, little goblin.

Rewatching the Harry Potter movies. Honestly, I'm surprised the Dursleys even let him have glasses. Also, I have so many questions about the house in the middle of a stormy ocean.

I pour my coffee slowly in the post-apocalypse glow and dream about the moon. πŸŒ™

But what if every time I visit a city, we don't meet up for coffee - we meet up and get tattoos?

I don’t want to β€˜work to live’ or β€˜live to work.’ I want to sit in a sunbeam like a cat and have snacks appear in front of me

I wrote a Twin Peaks poem for a workshop even though I told myself not to write a Twin Peaks poem because then I'd want it to be in my already-published book, but the prompt wanted it to be a Laura Palmer meets The Little Mermaid poem, so I wrote the poem, and now I'm mad that it's not in Blue Rose.
