Earth

Take me. 
You know I’m prepared
to savour death at the gold of your fierce. 

Consume me. 
This is not sheer lust talking through sacred tips, 
this is my gift to your hands. 

Swallow me. 
Crescendo and beat your strings. 
Clutch at my own.  

Hold me. 
Cradle me.
Tell me that I am your very own
the most sacred of souls
the breath of morning
night’s eclipse
I could be it all
the stars
the cavernous scars across the sky
each bloodied petal
each dawn song

Nature’s exhalation would mirror me
and you would think my name
when you taste it.  

I feel sad today

I feel sad today. The weather is horrible. We were meant to go out for the day but we didn’t because they started trying to find holidays. They didn’t find one. We always leave everything so late, and then suddenly it’s my fault for reading as opposed to searching with them. Family bonding. Not. 

Also, he hasn’t replied to my text, despite saying that he would. I know he’s busy - he’s on holiday, for God’s sake…but I just feel even more under-appreciated and disliked. Sometimes I just wonder what the point of me being here actually is. I want to write but I’m not in the right mood. 

I had plans and I had to change them for this supposed ‘day out’ that never materialised. And now I’ve been exiled to my room because everything is my fault and I am the daughter that does everything wrong and I just want to say: I’m so good! I do nothing bad! Look, look at these photos! These people are my friends! Look at what they do and tell me I’m bad! 

They’ll just say that it doesn’t matter what anyone else does. But of course it matters. That’s why I feel sad half the time.

The Top Ten Relationship Words That Cannot Be Translated Into English

Saudade (Portuguese): The feeling of longing for someone that you love and is lost. Another linguist describes it as a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist.”

Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love. 

Forelsket (Norwegian):  The euphoria you experience when you’re first falling in love.

Ya’aburnee (Arabic): “You bury me.” It’s a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person, because of how difficult it would be to live without them.

La Douleur Exquise (French): The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have.

Ilunga (Bantu): A person who is willing to forgive abuse the first time; tolerate it the second time, but never a third time.

Retrouvailles (French):  The happiness of meeting again after a long time. 
Yuanfen(Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. 

Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone’s hair.

Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start.

ZANDER OLSEN

It’s not always easy to come up with a new idea and execute it in a way that seems effortless, but artist Zander Olsen has done just that. These simple yet extremely thoughtful temporary installations were created using white material and creative camera angles in various locations around the UK.

This is great!  Totally brain-bending.

That terrible feeling when

you meet someone who could be everything to you in a moment, and you don’t know how to tell them. 

Work Experience

I got some work experience! Technically it’s more of a creative outlet, but I’m really, really excited about it. I get to review books, and write pieces inspired by them for a website. I get an audience. More details to follow. 

Thank you everyone for your continued support x
