St. Emo's Fire

Don't take this too seriously. I don't. I mean, why would anyone? It's not like I matter; and neither do you. Ow, ow, ow, neither do you.

walking on eggshells
the house pregnant with silence
the things you've broken

[St. Emo's Fire @stemosfire]

how simple the mind
the vindictive suicide
one last selfish mess

[St. Emo's Fire @stemosfire]

I can do this.
This too will pass.
There is a happier me in the future who is glad to exist.

I need this journaling app to have more creative prompts that I might actually be able to trick myself into thinking

I feed it coffee, sugar, ice cream, but nothing sticks. I try to make new lists and social posts and poke at projects, but interacting in any way brings new moods, weakens some, strengthens others, sneak attacks metaphors as they seek to bind, explain, or assuage.

[St. Emo's Fire @stemosfire]

My mood roams the streets of my body like a savage beast, untamed, at times disinterested but mostly struggling to attack or escape. It's constrained, afraid of disappearing, desperate to be remembered, understood, played with....

Feel like I’m ghosting myself.

@prufrockluvsong I went to go to the bathroom in an Irish themed restaurant once, and as I was about to walk though the door marked "Laddies," I looked over to see if the other door said "Lassies," but it said "Men," and that's when I realized I had misread my door.

The other day my son and I were talking about how sites have automated systems for identifying pornography at time of upload--not foolproof but they are a first line of defense.

And my son asked why these systems aren't used to detect dick pics and ask for recipient consent?

Nothing like a Monday to start hating everything you’ve ever said or done.

[St. Emo's Fire @stemosfire]

@rustybarnes23 I made another account just for that. Which makes me feel better about feeling worse but doesn’t really make me feel better. And sometimes makes me feel worse.

Deep in the “fuck everything” phase of the day.

Starting to wonder if there are other phases.

Starting to wonder if there are other days.

So tired. Just want to cry. Everything I’m not doing is crushing me.

[St. Emo's Fire @stemosfire]

I used to believe I was very smart. Which of those qualities did I lose and when? // me, 2013-03-11
