wrote this for myself two years ago & I'm hoping it helps someone else the way it helped me


you often forget that your bruises 

soon bloom into daisies

and that this

 impenetrable, starless tunnel

 soon leads to a 

radiant brilliance

. . .

"I'm glad you decided to stay."

"Me too, me too."

    I myself, am quite glad you decided to stay.
    I hope you can say the same.
    I like this, and you.

      It's amazing the amount of power we have to motivate each other when we are anonymous. I love all of your posts. When this blogs of masks is all said and done at the end of the year, I'd love to get to know you.

      This was very kind, I appreciate you. Made me really happy. I showed your comment to my mom and it made her happy as well. Thank you.

      You are such a good human. And it really is so cool getting know someone directly through their writing; cutting to the real stuff, skip the small talk. Learning to love people for their mind. Really excited for your reveal, I have throuroughly enjoyed you and your writing.

      You always know just what to say.

      This has always been my fsvoeite poem of yours. I remember you wrote it like freshman year and it is SO IMPORTANT TO ME. Certain lines literally come to my mind at certain times when I need it most. Thank you. It has definitely helped me

    Not really sure where to post this, but I wanted to make sure you saw it.

    1. I think it's insane to me that you commented on my blog after a month of not posting on it. You da real MVP

    2. I don't know if you know who I am in real life, but I'm an explosions in the sky nut. So when you commented about "Remember me as a time of day". I mean. Damn that's a good song
