“I’m not sure what I want more: certainty, / or to finally set down this longing.”— — Cynthia Miller, from “Eurydice video calls her lover in lockdown,” Honorifics
(via lifeinpoetry)
idk who needs to hear this, but your wants are not outrageous. you want love? you want attention? you want peace? you want comfort? you deserve it. you’re not asking for too much.
Shout out to people who are chronically ill but don’t know how, people who can’t afford a diagnosis, people who have spent years trying to figure what’s wrong and run into dead ends at every turn, people who are self-diagnosed with a chronic illness that runs in their family, and people who can’t afford medications or treatment.
character in a movie: Oh no, angry dog, please don’t bite me!
the dog: I’m at work! I’m doing so good at being at work! I’m barking because my handler gave the sign ‘bark’! I am going to get such a good grade in being a dog actor, which is completely possible to achieve, and normal to want! I am doing a great job! I am proud of myself for doing such a great job! I love this, because I’d make it physically impossible to get anything done if I wasn’t enjoying it! I’m barking!
