april wasn't very kind to me tbh and i'm still picking up the pieces. everything i've done this month was to keep myself afloat long enough as i waded through the days like waves during a storm. this may i will find strength to swim with the current than fight against it.

“from the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through, all the way to the moon, it feels like everything & everyone is crying out in pain, arching towards love. love is that inhospitable land beckoning and then rejecting us.”
