the things of a life that finds its way always,
as the daisy in the sidewalk crack"

Low key love that pulling my metal water bottle out of my bag sounds like I’m unsheathing a sword in a B action/fantasy film.

[Abby @Applestoabby]

Got a lil tipsy and wrote 3 new poems about Buffy, the MCU, and Godzilla. We'll see if they're good tomorrow...

Today’s energy: Made coffee. Poured coffee. Sat coffee cup NEXT TO ME at my desk. And still forgot about it until it was cold.
