GISHWHES has been amazing this week. And many of you have been - in big ways and small ones - a very real part of my participation in it.

One of the things GISHWHES aims to do (aside from the admirable goal of introducing more whimsy into the world) is to also make a real impact in a variety of ways.

Along the course of the Hunt, we who are participating get new items and tasks to complete. This one is one of those that represents the positive change that GISHWHES is making happen.

Please please please take a couple of minutes to read this over, and if you can, contribute. If you do so before or by *Saturday*, you also help our team, but the main goal IS to help this family. <3

Share too, if you can! ‪

Icarus and the Sun 

Inspired by Icarus, who dared to fly too near the sun on wings of feathers and wax. If he was in love with the sun, then this might as well be a story of forbidden love.

I’m not always kind, I don’t believe it to be a constant thing, but a path I have chosen even if I’ve veered off it. In fact cruelty have come easy to me in the form of indifference many times. I don’t believe in fate, at times I’ve been so lonely I’ve thought it better to be haunted, so I at least wasn’t alone in this mind of mine. I think I could build a dollhouse and stuff it full of my tiny ghosts; I play with them for my own amusement. And I drink too much, I’m refusing to quit smoking and I won’t think to brush my teeth before I kiss anyone. Coffee makes me shake like it’s laced with battery acid, but I’ve created a game where I ask for it, I enjoy making myself beg for things I know I can have. I enjoy having things, pretty things I can run my hands over, things that bite back. We were promised nothing, not this, not us. So yes, I’m not always kind. And yes, I carry sugar on me to remind myself not to be so God damn bitter all the time. And I reached for you, knowing full well I have no place in your life. I was promised nothing, so I’m not being kind, I’m simply grabbing this with both hands, with my teeth, with my legs wrapped around it. And should my heart speak out of place, I’ll remind it we were promised nothing, not this, not us,  not kindness.

What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you.

When people say you’ve changed there’s a 95% chance that you just stopped acting the way they wanted you to.

Truth

[fridayfreckled]

I crave the innocent acts of affection. Hold my hand and rub your thumb against my knuckles. Kiss my forehead or my nose. Just hold me tight in your arms. Rub my back or play with my hair. Draw circles on my back with your fingers. Play footsie with me. Kiss my knuckles when you are holding my hand. Kiss my cheek when you wrap your arms around me from behind. Tuck my hair behind my ear before you kiss my lips. Whisper how much you love me in my ear. I’m sure sex is great don’t get me wrong, but doing innocent intimacy will make my heart race like no other.
