I work at a movie theater.

And personally? To be in the tickets booth, and see young girls, teenagers, adult women, coming in to see Barbie,

the most highlighter pink outfits, some of them coming in with the dolls they’re dressed as, laughing to each other, cheering for each other,

to see the men they’re coming to see it with, dressed in pink, cheering them on, taking their pictures with smiles and cheers in the lobby at the photo op

touches something so deep in me

I can’t say any nuances of the movie that haven’t already been said, but like, fuck man, love is so deep and so kind and to be able to see glimpses of it from behind my little ticket desk makes me a little less nihilistic.

force it down, swallow it whole

[sarahsinferno]

I am a specter in the glass,

an echo of longing trapped

in the thin light of morning.

While I dissolve in the quiet of rooms,

a silence heavy with the weight of wanting.

Each moment you pass is a blade,

cutting through my stillness,

leaving a mark that never heals,

an unspoken confession of my hunger.

I am the hollow shell,

the empty gaze that follows,

burning with the cold flame

of what I cannot grasp.

In the mirror, the truth is unspoken,

a color I cannot name,

a shadow I cannot escape,

an endless loop of never enough.

I like good strong words that mean something…

[cocoabuttavasa]

you are too full of life and love to be half loved by someone. you deserve a love that feels satiating for your spirit. you deserve a love that makes you feel seen. you deserve a love that makes you feel heard. you deserve a love that listens and a love that is patient. you deserve a love that is kind and a love that feels warm. you deserve a love that makes your heart explode and a love that sends shivers down your spine. you deserve a love that takes the time to study you, that takes the time to understand your mind. you deserve a love that is patient and compassionate. you deserve a love that grows old. you deserve a love that doesn’t judge but instead accepts you wholeheartedly; flaws and all. you deserve a love that sends tingles through your whole body and leaves butterflies swarming in your stomach. you deserve a love that gives you 80 on the days that you can only give 20. you deserve a love that sends you into overdrive at the slightest thought of their touch. you deserve a love that lasts. you see how you simply read this, you deserve a love that is simple and extraordinary all in one. you deserve to be felt, you deserve to be loved. you deserve love.

I dream too much. I don't write enough. I'm trying to find You everywhere. It's like a sweet sickness.
