so on our first date i made a joke about having a cardboard cut out of myself up on top of the walker center downtown and later on when we were dating dani said he was going to put his own cardboard cut out up there to be with mine and anyway it’s 3:30 am and im making a little paper version of the building that im going to print out tiny pictures of us and put on it for his birthday on thursday
I am very proud of doing something new and silly

Handling my anxiety in a new context and in new company
i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

its wild tho bc for like two years this dude would come into the bar and i would hope he might flirt w/ me or look at me and i would look at him and it was just
pleasant
nothing more
but i looked forward to catching his voice in the crowd or when I saw his friend I knew he was somewhere near and he was Polite and Pleasant and it was nothing more and I would wave them over if they were in the other bartender’s line and I would sometimes charge them less for their drinks if only to show that I recognized them and I tried to remember his name because I never heard it out loud and it was that and nothing more and it was pleasant and nothing more
and now I want to fall asleep in the cradle of your moon
i really can’t believe i told the world i would not settle for lukewarm love and it responded by setting itself on fire
Like??? I’m not ashamed of my heart. I spent so much of my formative years feeling like my heart was a burden to others and to me, like it was this glass, filled to the brim that I had to carefully transport. Then as time went on, I realized it was a vessel overflowing with love and I grew comfortable in the way that I found the details of the world romantic and they would make my heart swell and flow. And now! Now I realize that what spills from an overflowing heart does not go unaccounted for!!
