Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The door stays cracked. The shadow stays seen. And I stay free. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I am not the darkness. I am not the grief. But I am the one who survived it. And I will not pretend otherwise. Not anymore. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And that's okay. Because solemn is not broken. Solemn is not cold. Solemn is just someone who has been to the bottom and came back with the door left open so they'd never forget the way out. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's woven in my voice. It's woven in my wound. It's woven in my heart. It doesn't hurt anyone. It just keeps me a little solemn. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I sit in that room and I feel it all. The decimation. The gutting. The awful, bottomless ache. And I crack there. Not to break. To remember. To never go back. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I visit. Not to drown. To witness. To say: I see you. I never forgot. I never ignored. It will never happen again. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I don't live there anymore. I step out. I breathe better. I laugh sometimes. But I never lock the door. I leave it cracked. Not to fall back in. Not to be swallowed. Just enough to see the shadow. Just enough to hear the grief. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The Room With the Cracked Door Most of my life has been a dark room. Not a phase. Not a mood. Just the truth of it. Devastation so deep it became the floor I walked on. Grief so heavy it became the air I breathed. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Some people don't want a friend. They want a witness to the version of themselves they're performing. Nepotism taught them to be seen without ever being known, to be loved without ever being held. I was a good audience once. Not anymore. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 04/09/2026A video of dv and women posting their own photos. Disgusting. Vile. And it shouldn’t be “violence against women” it’s MEN. BEING. VIOLENT. Words matter. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026That's what I want. That's what I'm holding out for. Not because I'm waiting. Because I've already learned what it costs to settle for less. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026A companionship that lands not just beside you, but with you. One that adds, not subtracts. That brings laughter that lives in your ribs, honesty that doesn't flinch. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026But I'd like to get used to something else. I'd like to get used to someone showing up not just saying the right things, but walking them. Someone whose feet follow their mouth, I want to get used to the relief of not having to carry it all. To the quiet ease of being met. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I am used to the words that sound like love but don't walk like it. Used to effort that's measured out, presence that's borrowed, love that's always almost. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I am used to choosing myself not because it's easy, but because no one else would. I've held my own hand through more goodbyes than I can count, walked away with my chin up and my heart still beating, a bit bruised, but still open. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The Other Side I am used to the empty chair. The door that stays closed. The love that comes with fine print and never quite arrives. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Standards and self respect don’t coincide with male friends or spouses. Don’t coach grown men, walk. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 31/08/2026And I hope our pieces You buried are still alive They're breathing, waiting To be dug out when the times right 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 31/08/2026So If the world caved in, would you come on back I'd break it myself for the smallest chance That you'd retrace your footprints before they fade out But I can't see them now youtu.be/YydKC2x8aks?...youtu.beIke Dweck - footprints (Lyrics) "so if the world caved in would you come on back"YouTube video by BagOnly 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026That love was real. Even if he wasn't. Maybe I created him. Maybe he was, I don't really know anymore. All I know for certain now is that is not him today. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I don't need it. I don't want it back. But I miss it the way you miss a season that can't return, a book you can't read for the first time again, a version of yourself that no longer exists. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Part of me regrets reaching out. I could've kept it the fantasy, the fog, the beautiful ache of unshakable, absolute love. I could've let him stay perfect in my memory, untouched by the reality of who he actually is. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026That love was real. Even if he wasn't. Maybe I created him. Maybe he was real , I don't really know anymore. All I know for certain now is that is not him today. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026That love was real. Even if he wasn't. Maybe he was, I don't really know anymore. Maybe I created him, filled in the gaps with my own hope, built a version I could love because the truth was too hard to hold. All I know for certain now is that is not him today. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I don't need it. I don't want it back. But I miss it the way you miss a season that can't return, a book you can't read for the first time again, a version of yourself that no longer exists. 000
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026They move on with a better version of the story, a version where they were never really the one who broke it. And you're left holding the original the one that doesn't feel good to tell, the one that doesn't make anyone the hero, Or the villain the one that's just... true. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026They make sense of it in a way that makes them good and you the one who couldn't let go. They don't sit with the weight of what they've done. They don't stay in the mess long enough to understand it. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026They take the story and they rewrite it smooth the edges, erase the harm, polish their reflection until they look like the one who tried, the one who cared, the one who was never really wrong. 100
Pinkette @pinkstink7.bsky.social · 30/08/2026But people don't meet you where you are, but where they are. They don't see. They don't learn. They don't change. 100
