We both carry something heavy that doesn’t quite have words. That tension between wanting to be held and wanting to disappear into it. I related to this. Thank you for sharing.
i am both glad and sad that this piece resonated with you. there are things in life that are difficult to carry with us and it feels better to know we’re not alone. thank you for reading 🤍
Oh wow. This is extremely well done. The darkness is tangible, and the descriptions are extremely tactile. And especially the constant of both the feel and visceral wording throughout the piece feels like craftsmanship.
Gods this was devastating and so intimate I appreciate the way you created it from a child’s POV that’s not always the easiest to do and yet you did it exceptionally well it’s a gorgeous yet visceral piece 🖤
thank you so much for reading. it was definitely a difficult piece to write. it’s a vivid memory for me, even now, but it was hard to translate it into words. i’m glad you enjoyed it 🤍
thank you so much for reading 🤍 it was a hard piece to write but i feel like i was letting the things i couldn’t write get in the way of the things i wanted to write.
i knew it was going to be a doozy when i first started drafting it 😅it was hard to write and even harder to convince myself to post. i’m glad you liked it 🤍

i tried to warn y’all 😭 but i appreciate that you liked it. it’s something i’ve wrestled with writing for a long time.

She memorized the sound
of bone meeting wood.
And still asked
for her hair to be braided.
That is not weakness.
That is what it means
to love someone
who was supposed to be safe
and wasn't.
The love and the wound
arrived in the same hands.

Deeply reflective and devastating.
“when the left side of my skull
made hard contact
with that solid oak doorframe.
a bite into a ripe apple —
loud, wet crunch.”
