14 lines one topic abab cdcd efef gg iambic pentameter (./ ./ ./ ./ ./) — write even if its poo poo thats the point??? __ wrote this diddy abt being in bed all day (ed endings are pronounced (chang-ed)) — “Sickness” Suns rise lungs depress eyes spine lay downward  Shifts beneath cotton wool illusion of silk Such soft stills as the heart beats blood onward Sores spinal cord twists stretch crackle joint ilk Side turn legs cross eyes sore from prolonging  Silence as someone checks you’ve changed place  Slight defiance in latitude daylong Same ceiling above responses in haze Simple it feels to concave for hours Stretching not standing or shower taking Stench of clothes unchanged beneath cowers So avoid your duties sleep awaking See dreams gravity press patterns close eyes Sick day sweet laughter you lay on your lies

lost love (original poem)

in a garden where the roses wither and tulips grow limp where colors have never been touched by the enchantress above in a garden covered with vines soaked in tears, slowly suffocating forget-me-nots but not a grass blade stepped on buried 6ft underground lies the hope and faith that once ran through my bloodstreams when's it gonna be my turn? **i wrote this at night when i found out one of my ugly guy friends got into a relationship before me LMAO i haven't been in one since 2021. no shade to him i just lost hope (still somewhat feel the same) lmk any critiques u have thnx!

keeping an ongoing pleasures list

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but it’s different when I do it.  My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called “target fixation”. It’s a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing they’re trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.  You will follow your gaze so be aware of where you’re looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think it’s just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things. Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you. Xoxo, meg

Forgive because this where I get a little ~woo woo~ but I think you should only wear necklaces that are imbued with a potent magical vibe… amulets only near the heart and throat you can do whatever you want with earrings/rings but heed my warning about necklaces
