life-and-bliss:
this is a rant. and I love you. and this is not to put anyone down or make anyone feel guilty. I am just so torn up and people don’t understand.
this is a major rant. sorry. I hope God works through this.
i weep for you. my heart is wrung out and stretched and bruised for you. not only does someone else hurt you, but then you go and hurt yourself. you believe so many lies....

today the air is thick and it’s chilly and it’s the same feeling in my gut that i have when i can feel you close. these days are like milestones for me because i know you’re here and you will get me through. i trust you now, more than ever.
keep breathing you in.
If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.

le vingt-cinq septembre.
what if there was a way that we could track every invested moment? look at art and see the hours, the days, the processes and trial and error behind it. see the way the artist cried and laughed and fought for it. see the moment where he sat back and whispered “finished”. see the way the architects behind these buildings so carefully and intricately composed the blueprints for their...
