(ALL MADE OF STARS.)

"You’re a house in love with the trees beside you —
able to look at them all day, aware of how faithful they are —
but unable to forgive that they’d lie down
leaving you exposed and alone in a large enough storm."
→Jenn Habel, from “Another Poem About the Heart”

"You see, I want a lot.
Maybe I want it all:
the darkness of each endless fall,
the shimmering light of each ascent.
So many are alive who don’t seem to care.
Casual, easy, they move in the world
as though untouched.
But you take pleasure in the faces
of those who know they thirst.
You cherish those
who grip you for survival.
You are not dead yet, it’s not too late
to open your depths by plunging into them
and drink in the life
that reveals itself quietly there."
→Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours I, 14 (trans. Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy)

"Whatever you felt last night, whatever needle was stitching its initials into your heart was felt by a hundred other hearts. Whatever growls in the darkest corner of your memory is a beast that others have fed. You are not the only person who feels ugly tonight. You are not the only person who can’t seem to find the right words until the conversation is over. Who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing on this carousel. Who cries for no reason or never cries or only cries when you feel like your life is finally standing still and you don’t know what to do when nothing is going wrong. […] It isn’t about always being happy. That shit is unhealthy. But you are only alone if you ignore all the other people who are exactly like you."
→Sierra DeMulder, Ariel (x)
