Getting used to Happy

For those used to writing about the weight of depression, happiness seems hard to define as something solid.

A good day

And then, you have one of those days where, peace is

everything.

It’s small and quiet and unobtrusive but it’s powerful. Taking up the spaces that are usually raging, and the cracks that are empty and crumbling. It’s not even silence, more a peach wash of warmth. Faintly glowing in the background of a good day.

Fuck resolutions, here’s my 2017 Bucket list.

“Be a whole person. Alone. Be okay with being alone. Be whole in myself. Don’t allow anybody else to rule my happiness. My happiness belongs to me, and I choose when to share it.”

2016 wasn’t all bad (even though it was pretty bad).

Tomorrow is Tuesday 5th January

I don’t like the numbers and the decimals. I like long, drawn out things and constancy. Tomorrow is a long(ish,), full day I am excited for. And I wish for some honesty. I wish I could be wholly honest but that is not the expectation, the expectation is only to be kind, and firm, and […]

Sai Mai Waiting; 1 and 2

Give me sleepy, slow moments
and half-murmured conversations
about nothing important,
but everything worth saying
to us.

I long for that constant image
circling
around, and around
in my mind, almost like
a memory that won’t let go.
