kpop doesn't really capture my interest enough for me to be super into it, which is a shame because sometimes you get shit like this with an absolutely banger sample

y'know, I enjoy taking photos and I've really struggled to know whether they're any good, but I think I've reached a point where I feel content in finding my own work pretty. like idk I've found a style that makes me feel stuff and that feels significant

tried writing a poem just with music titles idk
forest in the flowers, 
mother of the world:

if you are to bloom earthly love, 
strangers to the blade

turn, turn white light, 
not unlike the waves

to everything there is a season 
a river ain't too much to love;

darkness at the edge of town, 
they'll only miss you when you leave

when using the RAW format on my phone's camera there's a period after zooming in where there's some aberration before it adjusts and I fucking adore it. it makes everything look so chunky and low rez

had a few shutdowns but all in all I'm really proud of myself. first vacation in a long time where I feel like I actually was (mostly) able to take it at my own pace and I feel like that was worth it

maybe they're depressed, maybe they're too autistic, maybe they just need to pick the movie for movie night for themselves; stay tuned to find out
review of The Wild Robot:

maybe I have a cold dead heart because this was gorgeous and touching and I will probably forget I saw it by tomorrow. was intriguing before the animals started talking; ain't that just how it go

quick poem
a poem:

it's there.
somehow, only in glimpses, 
a light on the other side.

you've seen flashes of a life worth living. 
white picket fences become insurmountable, 
towering over a crumbling normality.

if only it were easier, 
if only you were stronger,
if only there were more than "good enough,"

it's there, 
it's there, 
it's there.a low-rez photo of a tall white fence, a lamppost in the foreground and some woods in the background behind the fence

haven't written a poem in a bit so idk if this is good but yeah
incandescents sear 
half-conscious eyes. 
amnesiatic blinking 
brings no relief;
close them.
this place knows you.

it hurts.
it's all sensation,
but discomfort lodged in the sternum 
feels like inevitable death;
it'll pass, 
just not now.

there it is again— 
cortisol, on the hour. 
teeth grind into cartilage, 
what's left of it;
sleep now.
these are tomorrow's worries.

this movie makes me happy
my review of Spirited Away:

all time banger. the film shows so much empathy to each and every character; each of them in turn show each other so much compassion, to the extent that their roles allow them to. even when capital causes corruption and callousness, the heart always shines through. perhaps a perfect movie.
