they gave me formulas to get over you
like loss was a textbook science
One day for every month you were together.
Two months for every year you loved each other.
but suffering isn’t linear
mending isn’t chronological
and yesterday i was peaceful
but today i almost cried on the bus ride home
and maybe tomorrow i’ll grip my mug with a strength my hands couldn’t have this morning
there is no timeline for healing
the only science i found in my suffering
was my body’s instinct
to want to breathe again when i woke up

Thomas Knox has been hitting up train platforms across the city with a table, two chairs, a simple vase of flowers and, occasionally, a game of Connect Four. Then, he waits for idling commuters to take a seat and, well, get to know him a little better.
“I wanted to do something fun in the subway due to all the negative things that happen,” says Knox. “I wanted to make people smile and enjoy the commute. I feel each date has been successful in its own unique way. The general reaction has been positive and hopeful.”
HOW CUTE IS THIS
I aim to be
lionhearted,
but my
hands still
shake
and my voice
isn’t quite
loud
enough.

At seventeen,
the hardest choice you should have
to make is what clothes you want
to wear,
or what food you want
to eat;
not sitting at the edge of your bed
at four in the morning
considering whether or not
your existence matters in this world.

Loneliness is dangerous. It’s addicting. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don’t wanna deal with people.

This morning I was working on something, and made an interesting metaphorical observation.
The cutting discs used on this rotary tool are very brittle. You can break them with your fingers. However, mounted on a spindle and spun at thousands of RPM, those same fragile discs can cut through steel.
So the next time you’re feeling weak or useless, consider that you may simply not be getting utilized properly, and that your true potential awaits.

Life advice
It seems like cats never forgot the fact that they were worshipped as gods thousands of years ago
One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: “This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.

Dear Older Generations/Old People,
…If your generation was truly so great, our generations wouldn’t be forced to deal with and fix your poor decisions, debt crisis, hyper-religiosity, your shame about sex, your racism, rape culture, sexism, fascism, homophobia, heteroism, genderism, xenophobia, and your misuse of the earth’s resources.
