“What is a broken wing?”
She spat.
“Worse than useless—
A dead weight you carry
Like a body that should be in the ground.
Worse than that,
Always, a reminder of—
Never mind.
Remove these cursed wings, physician.
Let me forget the sky.” #vss365#wings
Roller blading at the rink to lyrical genius @vanillaice ICE ICE BABY is the closest I have come to feeling like a preteen.
Having my 9 year old zoom by demanding I stop rapping is the most cringe mom moment I love to own.
Yes, I did start rapping louder.
Word to your mother.
Remember art is resistance. To create something true and earnest in a world that values neither sincerity nor conviction is rebellion. If that’s all you can manage, so be it. Fill your notebooks with revolt, your document files with illicit beauty. Hope is a Molotov cocktail.
To say this app changed my life would be an understatement. I wouldn’t be the version of the person I am today without the people I met here. I would be unhappily marriage, still fully constructed. This app brought me awareness I didn’t know I desperately I needed.
I pray you find something good and bright during this long, cold dark. Empathy has never seemed thinner, human nature never more callous, but hope is still plentiful, compassion still blooms in the warmth of sympathetic hearts. Bask in the glow of love. Fight for a better spring.
