One of the worst feelings that I can have about a friend is an ache- the feeling of missing a person and being together, despite them being physically there by your side.

My parents have ‘surprised’ me with a brand new pair of low-cut bright white Converse kicks, and whilst I am extremely appreciative for the gift, the last time I bought Converse was in 2006 where black hi-tops and dresses were cool to pair together.
pica
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the smallest measurable unit of human connection, typically exchanged between passing strangers—a flirtatious glance, a sympathetic chuckle, a nod of mutual respect, a shared laugh about some odd coincidence—moments that are fleeting and random and unexceptional but still contain powerful emotional nutrients that can alleviate the symptoms of feeling alone.

20 Ways
by Eva Heisler
A woman sits up straight: she’s on edge. She leans into the cushions: she’s provocative. She leans over to another woman: she’s a gossip. She holds the other woman’s hand: she’s queer. She hold an apple in her hand: she’s a temptress. She slices the apple: she’s tame. She slices your heart out: she’s a bitch. She wear a heart at her...

my parents are coming back home today after their one month holiday, and the only way that I’ve managed to ‘fuck shit up yo’ in this time is leave the kettle unfilled and fed the dog some lasagne.

The Bunya Mountains [circa. 2007]
Us on the couch. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on the television. You were at one end. I was at the other. Those were the unspoken conditions. “Two years difference” was all you thought when you looked at me. (Occasionally, it still is.) It was cold outside. It was anything but, inside. I had never seen the movie before. You told me...

Music In The Morning
by Dorianne Laux
When I think of the years he drank, the scars on his chin, his thinning hair, his eye that still weeps decades after the blow, my knees weaken with gratitude for whatever kept him safe, whatever stopped the glass from cracking and shearing something vital, the fist from lowering, exploding an artery, pressing the clot of blood toward the back of his brain. Now, he sits calmly on...

Swallowed by a whale — a true tale? →
youmightfindyourself:
If, I’ll pretend for a moment, you were swallowed, it would happen like this: You would first be chewed. Sperm whales’ teeth are 8 inches long – longer than most blades in your knife drawer. Then you would be gulped to the fauces, the back of the mouth, and forced down. Here is where Bartley apparently touched the quivering sides of the throat. You would also touch the...

I’ve just come home from seeing Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Anthony. Despite its high acclaim, I was completely lost. Between the spy jargon, several dozen names and characters that disappeared after 10 seconds of screen time, and the unclear time transitions between the past and present sleuthing (the only key giveaway was Gary Oldman’s glasses but unless he was in the flashback, I...

The Thief
by Dorianne Laux
What is it when your man sits on the floor in sweatpants, his latest project set out in front of him like a small world, maps and photographs, diagrams and plans, everything he hopes to build, invent or create, and you believe in him as you always have, even after the failures, even more now as you set your coffee down and move toward him, to where he sits oblivious of you,...

Your skin naturally has water in it, your whole body does and when you are around water for too long the skin soaks up the water and makes it prune-y. Think of skin as a crap sponge.
