“I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edge
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.

This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
on your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.

And I will not be afraid
of your scars.

I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.

”

“Always listen to yourself, Peekay. It is better to be wrong than to simply follow convention. If you are wrong, no matter, you have learned something and you will grow stronger. If you are right, you have taken another step toward a fulfilling life.”

My journal is becoming more like a workbook,
a sculpture,
I’m trying to fill in the blanks.
I’m trying to find my lines.

I know I am filling and finding and growing.
This summer will be good, but not in the way I expected.

Today, instead of doing anything I had planned to do, I went and sat on the floor of a record shop for a couple hours. New records is such a good feeling. I got:

Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams - That’s What Friends Are For
Air Supply - The One That You Love
Lawrence Welk - Yellow Bird
H2O - All That Glitters (Rusts In Time) Single
Earth, Wind and Fire - The Best Of
Roberta Flack - Blue Lights in the Basement
Johnny Mathis - Close To You
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass - The Brass Are Comin’

I’m so excited.

My refrigerator sings me to sleep,

there is peace here. It is quiet and it is hidden. There’s nothing original I can say about this sense of “becoming” I feel. Maybe that’s okay. I’ll settle into my unoriginality and say,

Life is beautiful. Being 21 is quite the fucking experience, and no one really warns you about it. I think that’s okay too. Not having everything together and being able to feel and think and process and churn out daily me, who I am, makes me smile like

I feel like I’ve found centre. Like I’ve squeezed and scraped this heart-skin into so many different and incorrect spaces, and have finally found the right one.

This is the life I am going to live. That feels like a title to a story. If I only ever make one statement in my life, I want it to be that. I want to learn to yell that as loud as I can. My Statement of Purpose.

Spring night,

I had a half-asleep dream of you, a quarter of a continent away, drifting away further from me into a dream-filled ocean, your bed a giant wooden apple crate. I’m drifting there too. Lets meet in the middle.

Spending my night playing GeoGuessr, where you’re shown a random place on Google Street View and you have to try to place it on the map. I didn’t do so well this round.

This is actually super addictive and fun.
