Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

I never realized how maybe ways there were to say that.

Help I've platonically fallen for someone but we are both silently terrified of emotional intimacy due to past abandonments and therefore incapable of any even remotely meaningful friendship plus we only have a semester left before we both graduate and go our seperate ways so we silently agreed it isn't worth the pain but somehow I'm still platonically in love with them and I can't stop

I know you said no need to respond, but may I suggest pouring all of this into a hearbreaking story/other piece of art? I truly don't really know what advice to give otherwise, and it seems you'd rather go without it anyways, so... Yeah. Channel it into something beautiful, if you can?

Yeah I've already written about two poems about it just since Monday but it's still just *shrieks noiselessly into the misty, wintery sky*, you know?

Don't limit yourself! Even if you start a whole series of books about it, I'll be first to read it!

Jaybells I--
I think I just read that last sentences like twenty times and then almost cried. No one's ever said that before.
That means a lot, so thank you. Really, really thank you.

One of the reasons I love when people comment on my poetry is that I have to go back and read whatever I wrote again. I never do that otherwise. Whenever I try to reread them without the voice of another inserted into them, it just feels cringe and hollow and like another failed leap towards the sky, whilst forgetting I am but a mere human without wings; as if the reader injects all colour and meaning into a portrait of whispers of shadows and grey tones.
Like, when I reread them on my own I literally have to peel my mind away from everything else I'd rather be doing, and drag it over to painfully watch its book born of love get turned into a sad third-rate and passionless excuse of a movie adaptation. But then again, it reminds me of how meaningless the authorial intent truly is.
No matter how good I strive to be or create, no matter how deeply I long to portray beauty and raw emotion, no matter how long I try: It all amounts to nothing at all without the willing consumption and regurgitation of the audience I have been graced with.
It's kind of absolutely terrifying but still awe-inspiring at the same time.

^^ That is so true.

I get to sing Sister Christian (well, a small part of it, anyway), and hang out with my friends, various acquaintances I'm hoping to get to know better, my crush, and my platonic crush, plus some of my favorite teachers keeping us somewhat under control, in my favorite classroom. All of this wonderfulness will be happening in the span of about an hour, give or take some time, on Monday. That, my friends, is how you cure the Sunday Scaries, which I don't believe I'll be facing tomorrow.

I just realized that I have the maturity of a doorknob.
(December 17, 2022 - 9:48 pm)
Yeah...me too.
(December 18, 2022 - 9:39 am)
