Eternity is patient.

Just make it to next year. That part’s easy, right? I’m almost there! Please let me stay a little longer. Maybe I’ll find what I need. Just give me a little more time.

Eternity is a long time. Please stop rushing me.  Eternity is patient. It can wait a few more months for me. It can wait a little longer. It can wait. It can wait. It can wait a little longer. I can wait a little longer. I can wait. I can wait. I can wait.

On Jealousy

A friend recently mentioned jealousy in a conversation, which got me thinking…

I don’t get jealous so much. I don’t hate others — I just can get very very sad if I lose something important, and internalize it. I have a problem with myself, not the other.

On Emotional Suppression

I suppress the surges, even when I don’t mean to. 

They swell, then subside. 

I swallow and swallow and swallow them. I push them so far down, I think they must be gone. 

Empty in the outer layers, but, underneath, tiny vibrations, too far away to register with a label, yet present enough to remind me of my worth.
