Heather

In your sadness you are close to the thing that makes everything beautiful, the thing that makes actions count; a purpose, which would otherwise be lost in the vastness of it all. You are not alone either. The truth is held with wavering hands by many, the scared wide eyes of passerbys matching yours with a plea “I don’t want it to end”. You are worrying about tomorrows which aren’t even tomorrows yet and I wonder how that must feel to love something so much and oh so painfully. This is the feeling which shows me you are a child in a way I think I have never been and that is something bright and wonderfully alive. Your soul feels younger than mine and I like how we just accepted that as fact. Honey, you are living up to your own words: “I’m not going to grow up”. The world does not care and ticks along ruthlessly. You want to break unbending rules with something as fine and young as hope. That might just be the bravest thing I know.

New Year

2017 I know my soul exists. I have felt its presence, but it has become so comfortable it has fuzed with this bubble i call my life. Somehow, among the stories I mindlessly consume, the idea of writing flowed back in. It reminded me of how it used to be without the safe guard. Boundless. And so I start to write inside my bubble. It is getting bigger. I have to see colours again, even the painful shades of yellow that can make you fly. The dusty blue hues must wash away and mix to become green, the colour of new things. The first few leaves are thin. They need rich black soil to grow, but you can't make that without the colour red. Maybe

I'm Still Young Enough to Know Everything

2014 I see people with bleeding knees and scarred wrists and they tell me I cannot write if I have not fallen. “Words won’t rest on your skin without any cracks to cradle them.” And I show them my hands palms up and empty.
