this random poem from 2 years ago i don't remember writing

i don't write often but the second half surprised me, i like it a lot. maybe i'll keep working on it i’m not interested in a career never have been i don’t want to devote my time i wanna have it things spin around me they evolve and they live so much going on at the edges but i’m stuck on the axis i cry and whine about it but what am i actually doing surely i just have to.. start if only i could lift my limbs why is it so goddamn hard i just need another excuse why can’t my brain process failure i just need to be good and i’ll do it yeah i’m a creative person i have a guitar and some watercolors and 5 unfinished sketchbooks tucked away in a closet maybe i just have to branch out don’t have to be in it, i can be around it don’t ask me to talk to new people though don’t ask me to follow up tick tock time’s a ticking you already lost 3 years, why are you waiting it’s already too late, sit tight maybe in another life

you should write something beautiful about the worst part of your life

important part of moving on for me…getting the story on the page solidifies it, encases it in amber, makes it no longer something alive in your head. try it and see‼️

BELIEVING IN SOMETHING

alright, this is not like anything i’ve posted before, but with it being Easter and all, it’s on my mind!  i’ve had a complicated relationship with religion for the majority of my life. i was raised in the bible belt, so i found myself in a church pew, singing hymns and listening to a southern old man preach for an hour almost every sunday morning from the time i was a toddler.  that being said, i wrestled with the idea of God quite a bit - i saw and experienced the hypocrisy and hurt within the church - i think i almost tried to get rid of Him; if being with Him meant i was grouped in with these people, i needed to get away. however, i then realized he would not leave me. he was knocking at my door; he’d always been there, and he always would be. he didn’t shame, scold, or abandon me like i expected because of the people that surrounded me. in my most painful moments, i found myself crying out to him - i decided to finally go, “sure, let’s see what you’ve got”. i believe that to be one of the best things i’ve ever done for myself. time and time again, i’ve started to worry about how a certain situation might go, gone “ok, you take this one”, and it has worked out more beautifully than it ever would’ve had i tried to handle it on my own. even better are the times that something has landed in my lap that i could’ve never imagined would. sometimes, i go back and look at the little moments in my life that have gotten me to where i am now, and i think, “wow, God was there.”  and you know, maybe it is all coincidence and all of these are just the little wonders of life, but i find it quite amazing and comforting to believe that there is a being of the highest power (whatever or whoever that may be for you) that loves you and genuinely wants the best for you. i think believing in something is simply a human trait; it’s a healthy thing for us to do. sometimes you need to hand your anxieties over to the universe. sometimes you see the sun hit something in just the right way, hear a certain song, or notice how perfectly the human body is built to hug or hold hands, and you’re smacked in the face with the thought that there must be a creator. our souls should not have to feel that they are alone and bound to this earth and that’s it. it gives us something to strive to be like and live for. having the freedom to believe in what we want to is such a beautiful thing, whether you choose to have faith in something or not. i think this is something i could go on about for much longer, so i’m going to try and stop it here. there is so much wonder and whimsy in believing in something, and i think it’s worth exploring. i’m not even sure if there’s an actual point to all of this, but that’s it. that’s the rec!

Reclaiming SZA

My ex-friend used to play SZA so much so I could never listen to it without thinking of her, but now I'm enjoying SZA's music for me!
