i think as adults it’s our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least

i want to think of it more as “my future is waiting for me patiently” than “i am waiting impatiently for my future”

Can we talk about the moon / tonight? Low & full / in the baby-blue sky. A friend / at my door, the sound / of her laugh & well-loved / heart. I want to be held / up like that. I need a poem / about happiness I haven’t / written yet, an ode / to the ducks in my neighbours’ / pool, another for the pink / magnolias of spring—some trees / make it look so easy: Yes, / I can hold all this beauty up.ALT

life goes something like this: you meet the best and the worst of yourself in other people. you come to terms that you are the universe experiencing itself. you get overwhelmed at 3 am being so close to seeing through the veil. you get what you give. and then, the next morning, you do it all over again, all over again, all over again.
