Young people are more isolated from adults than they’ve ever been. Unless you’re an adult who is getting paid to somehow be involved with young people, chances are most adults have no contact with young people that they’re not related to. And the isolation is kind of structural and it’s very deep and it’s very visible. It’s basically divided the country into people who have daily...

Snowdrops, by Louise Glück
Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn’t expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring— afraid, yes, but among you again...
things i can write about:
*daddy issues
*feelings of inadequacy
*questionable boy decisions
*the like zillion paper cuts of ADD
*sense of failure
*liking it kinda rough
*history of depression
things i cannot, it turns out, write about:
*food/body image/weight
what the FUCK urban outfitters

a part of me is afraid the snow will just never go...
this is, i recognize, an irrational fear. but holy fuck: i was in the west village today - the west village! rich people live there! - and there was not a slush-free spot on the roads. i was planning on spending like the 23-25 with the fam & then heading home on the 26th, but i got waylaid that day and then the snow happened and now i’m like, afraid to go home, because who the fuck knows...

If you were holding off on reading my 2010 In The Rearview series of posts until they’d all been collected on one long, poorly-formatted, Flash-overloaded page, you’re in luck!
on tumblr or over there you all really should check them out, every single one of them is super terrific.

If you don’t write for publication I’ll be so mad at you.
aww, what a lovely thing to say! even if it makes you sound exactly like verbatim like my mother every time i show her like anything i’ve written. but you know, it’s not exactly that i’m lazy? …well, no, it’s like a lot like i’m lazy about most things,...
i miss wanting
not that i don’t get horny as FUCK, which i do. but wanting someone, a specific someone - and, oh, this part is important/depressingly relevant to my life, a specific someone i’m allowed to want - so bad even sex almost wasn’t enough, because it had to end. being utterly unable to be in the same room with someone and not have some part of my mind thinking about doing obscene...
