59. reminders to myself

Postby wishbone! » Sun Aug 26, 2018 11:58 am

act on the impulse to create
do it because you can. don't you want to?
pretty boys can get bent, the rules for them cannot
seek meaning from yourself
if you're curious, then look
don't make people wait for you if you wouldn't want the same thing
it matters. speak up

60. rush (a poem)

Postby wishbone! » Tue Aug 28, 2018 9:42 am

I have become a liar within a matter of days
everyone seems to be fine with it anyway
I know better but it's so easy for people to say "ok"
my proficiency is enabling myself through others

my natural state is scum atop the water
once in a while a sickly green glint
lurching slowly with the current

recently we knew it would have to happen
the current is strong
fish are swimming steadily around me
we are headed somewhere new
and I don't know what to do

I figured if I could reach my roots to the ground
that I'd come out safe in sound
but instead, I am slipping
slipping. dragging. drudging.
sludge. have I always been sludge?
I don't want to I don't want to budge

you have to move you have to act
contrary to popular belief simply existing is not enough
I am a hypocrite and often a fool
cesspool cesspool cesspool

flow faster you are stagnant and filled with worms

61. 10:20pm on a monday night

Postby wishbone! » Tue Aug 28, 2018 2:21 pm

I can hear rodents scurrying around in the ceiling
wonder what they're up to.

I'd like to have a pet rat someday. maybe a few so they aren't lonely.

10:22 update: they ran off to the other wall and now I can't hear them anymore :^( it's a sign for me to go to bed

62. A&P

Postby wishbone! » Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:32 pm

doin my first essay of the school year bois... the first paragraph already takes up more than half the page lmao. keep you updated as I struggle to finish this before midnight because I still wanna get a decent amount of sleep

edit 11:25 - the first body paragraph has been completed! I just gotta finish the 3rd one and then I can probably just do the conclusion in the morning. I'm here for a passing-grade, not a scholarship. this essay is probably littered with errors thus far but I am way too tired to try to comb through and find them

edit 11:49 - ejsahh the last body paragraph is complete, now I just gotta edit and finish the conclusion in the morning. way to go me, we did it!! this will be a great starting point to improving our essays and you should be glad that you actually have almost completed a very detailed literature analysis. it only took like 6 years to become a good student... wow :')

63. reparations

Postby wishbone! » Wed Sep 19, 2018 1:34 pm

I have broken the trust of my two closest best friends. I have breached their boundaries and been inconsiderate of their wants and needs. I have been a leech to them; emotionally and financially. I have hurt them in ways that I cannot understand, but am working to comprehend.

The following things are true about me:

    I'm self-absorbed, I have great difficulty seeing outside of my own head and when I talk, my speech revolves around myself rather than others;
    I am a hypocrite, I say things that I really believe in but become weak and bend my actions to my convenience rather than my convictions;
    I am not considerate of people's feelings because I don't know how to process other people's emotions, but that's no excuse to not try to be mindful of my effect on them;
    I keep putting deadlines on things that shouldn't have an anticipated end, which makes people feel expendable and unappreciated;
    I am grateful that they are willing to talk to me about the mistakes I've made because that means there's a chance to grow from this.
friendship is a continual effort. it is not established and automatically maintained, you have to be an active participant in expressing your appreciation for the people around you or else they will leave. love freely and unapologetically. don't mooch.

65. limits

Postby wishbone! » Thu Nov 22, 2018 6:56 pm

if ever you find yourself in the situation where you have the opportunity to see an internet stranger's face,
don't do it.

whatever character details you think you'll gain from their desperate, commiserative selfies and cat pictures,
you won't.

I guarantee that you don't need to, and 9/10 times you will be disappointed by your own pointless expectations.

67. ichor of god (a poem)

Postby wishbone! » Wed Dec 05, 2018 1:34 pm

if you are to ever see the sun move, do not begin to fear the sky
for the amaranthine heavens still crave voyage, just as you and I.

when you see the stars part way for the family of all things,
you are to obey with a comprehension of sanctity as it sings.

a languid song of space and time, an ancient breadth of life;
a tale recounting myriad millennia of prosperity and strife.

the clouds will part with breath, gold and silver in rainbow glory
as the beloved beings descend to our planet and share their story.

though there will be grand celebration, there must be sorrow too,
because after great presence, a gap of great emptiness must ensue.

the warded clouds will collide back together in their vast domain,
and with their desperately lovely reunion will come torrents of rain.

without versicolor visages it will become darker than you've ever seen;
all the creatures, all of the people, will mourn the lost gilded queen.

an expanse of shimmering black opal wind shall push away the blight
as we lay down amongst the ubiquitous Earth and regain our sight.

if we had felt enrapturing love before we still feel it coming to us so;
if we are to regain our lost endeavors we must continue the daily flow.

the sky will continue to glisten and wane with all the colors of magic;
we must learn to see intense blooms as a gracious rather than tragic.

68. compensation

Postby wishbone! » Sat Feb 02, 2019 9:42 am

Ha, I never wrote down my 2019 Resolutions here! I guess I should probably type those out, huh?

      Snart's Committments for 2019

      ✨ No more fast food! None! No gas station potato wedges NEITHER

      ✨ Act on the impulse to be kind! If you feel like complimenting someone, do it! Say "thank you" and "you're welcome"! Do little things for people like getting some water or picking things up!

      ✨ As much as the no-punctuation/capitalization style of speaking is fun, you're gonna start capitalizing things because you wanna be Professional.

      ✨ Speak directly and have confidence in your words. Even if you're crying and your voice is disappearing every other word, say it!!! Speak your truth you funky little worm! If you want to talk about something, who's to stop you?

I guess another goal of mine this year to be honest with myself? That's... very broad and it's actually making me very slightly nauseous to think about it in depth uh,,, Let's see if I can untangle my thoughts on this.

Honesty can be hesitant at times, but the answer will always be clear. It may be hidden among other things that lurk around the mind, but honesty is known very quickly. Being genuine is good; let your feelings be free-flowing without judgement while still being cautious of how the manifestations of those feelings might affect others. If you see you're being facetious about something, adjust accordingly. Apologize but know that when you say/do something, you usually really do mean it in that moment.

Your affection is not shameful! This is in direct relation to my feelings about Shinsou, whom I love dearly and will continue to do so. It's silly to be embarrassed about liking things. Let yourself be happy. Stop criticizing and rationalizing ways to make yourself feel less joy. I know you're very wary about the implication of "deserve," but who literally who cares! Be happy dude, whatever that means for you.You're not hurtin no one.

If you're not feelin it, don't force yourself. It's ok to say no. It's very good to say no, in fact; boundaries are something you've never understood for your entire life and it's about time you start practicing them.
