Words and Tiny Worlds~
Sitting here with my pot of green tea (‘Jade Ring Green’— I think of Imperial China, dinosaurs they thought were dragons) and infinitudes of sugar plums. I sort of like where I am right now, in that I have the luxury of time to really, fully throw myself into things. I’m learning so much, hmm. But I was thinking how good it is to write down thoughts and consider them, and...
The Floor -- Russell Edson
The floor is something we must fight against. Whilst seemingly mere platform for the human stance, it is that place that men fall to. I am not dizzy. I stand as a tower, a lighthouse; the pale ray of my sentiency flowing from my face. But should I go dizzy I crash down into the floor; my face into the floor, my attention bleeding into the cracks of the floor. Dear horizontal place, I do not...

I feel like often people assume things of me, a sort of ‘Kate would do this’, or ‘that is such a Kate thing to do!’ mode of thinking, and almost just as often I think to myself, ‘that’s not a ‘Kate’ thing to do at all.’ But I was thinking lately that I do actually hide a lot of myself from…
I experience the same thing partially. Always have received “that is such a...

aspirations:
I want to fall asleep in a dark room. Wake up, light coming through the curtains and the silk. Float in jellyfish arms. I’ll wake up one day and stand out there in my underwear; breathe on the window and press my fingers onto it. Outside, there are other things happening but meanwhile I watch motes of dust alight on wooden floors. I’ll think about things like how silence is a sound and...
lately (a flowchart):
wear less makeup> have less skin irritation> have clearer skin> need to wear less makeup in the first place.

Just, I’m very aware of perception and...

rebelqualitybutter replied to your post: oh how about that. My shit is suddenly together.
wat happend
Nothing in particular. Just came to the realisation a lot of my problems were self-created— a sort of, I-have-no-commitments-so-I’ll-make-some-issues-of-my-own type thing going on in my subconscious.
But yeah, there are other (better) things to do with my time. I was sort of...

– Chuang Tzu (via cavesoflilith)
I’m in the car and it occurs to me suddenly how volatile this all is; how much comes down to my decisions. Every time I eat, that’s a choice to be alive. Every time I get out of bed in the morning, a willingness to function. There’s a certain amount of autopilot in there, for sure, but it’s interesting to think… just how much control I have. Watching that. How things...

Top 5 Things Every Extrovert Should Know About... →
“Extroverts tend to think introverts have something against them as they constantly seem to refuse generous invites to social engagements. Introverts do appreciate the offers, but it’s just that they know it will take a lot of energy out of them if they pursue these social functions.
They need time alone like they need food and water. Give them their space. There’s nothing wrong with...
“October 17, 1946
D’Arline,
I adore you, sweetheart.
I know how much you...”
– Richard Feynman
In June of 1945, Arline Feynman — high-school sweetheart and wife of the hugely influential physicist, Richard Feynman — passed away after succumbing to tuberculosis. She was 25-years-old. 16 months later, in October of 1946, Richard wrote his late wife the following love letter...
I’m watching clouds pass across sky. I’ve been here a long time. It occurs to me at this point how unreal all of this is— that there are birds and trees out there, people other than me perceiving this and I have no control of perception. I sink to my knees. I could pray. But I wonder what the motivation behind that is, to get whatever I want. I picture my body in a hundred years...
