Sleeping In the Forest, Mary Oliver
like literally when catherine earnshaw said “i wish i were a girl again, half-savage and hardy and free, and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them; why am i so changed? why does my blood rush into a hell of tumult at a few words? im sure i should be myself were i once among the heather on those hills.”

what is everyone’s starbucks order? there’s a profound emptiness inside of me that never goes away no matter what i do. i’ve never gotten over anything that has ever happened to me in my life. i’m deeply nostalgic and romantic and i miss everything and everyone. i have no idea how to express my appreciation or affection for others so i lose everyone and everything. i’m afraid i’ll never have healthy relationships that last. anyway my favorite is an iced oat milk latte with caramel
I would sell my soul to be skinny
talking myself out of having any expectations for events I’m excited for so I don’t get disappointed like usual
Or maybe it’s all exasperated by body dysmorphia

God help me sometimes you get exactly what you want and want to give it all back with no consequences
quote by Rachel Wiley
Marie Howe, MAGDALENE: THE ADDICT, from “Magdalene: Poems”
[”I liked Hell, I liked to go there alone relieved to lie in the wreckage, ruined, physically undone. The worst had happened. What else could hurt me then? I thought it was the worst, thought nothing worse would come. Then nothing did, and no one.”]
