2012 Resolutions
Be better than 2011.
“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and...”
– Neil Gaiman
novicepen:
With both hands firmly gripping the axe haft, you aimed and hit me directly in the centre—- unsatisfied, you chopped me into pieces, piled and stacked against the wire fence to season, ready to be tossed in the fireplace so I can crackle in pain just to keep you warm this winter.
“Oh god it’s wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke...”
– Frank O’Hara
New Years Resolutions
clavicola:
This year I’ll make myself another promise that I’ll be better, that I’ll lose those ten pounds I gained when I was sad and indifferent. I’ll be kinder; flip more pennies face-up; be a masked vigilante in my own fucked-up reality. I’ll tell myself that this, this is the year. Now is the chance, the big change, my metamorphosis. I’ll peel off my cocoon and emerge with wings that span...
slekes:
“Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person’s throat…Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be...
Two things I learned this year:
wordsandfeathers:
Things can get worse.
Things can also get better.
thedustdancestoo:
i remember summer like last week.
not the details really,
just the leftover feelings
hiding from the winter chill
inside pockets and seashells;
the little things that stick with you,
and when stumbled upon,
(after an absence)
make you smile.
like the sensation of sunlight on skin,
the sweet, salty taste of the ocean’s breath
inhaled after a kiss,
or the brief...
mrsdalloway:
Being a person, and being a person who loves other people, is just so difficult and painful sometimes.
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day, you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I’ll give it to someone special
pallid-fire:
My best advice to anyone caught in the tangles of love is to not seek advice at all. Friends mean well, but they work like antibiotics combating the infection around your lungs. Let it consume you. If it burns, it burns. If it hurts, it hurts. If it makes you dizzy, then it should. Love is an extreme. You either live with it or become immune to it.
literarycollective:
I do not know how to explain these feelings so I will call them love or loneliness, depending on the weather.
“Memories of you pelt me like snowballs, cold and sneaky, when I least expect...”
– Dear Old Love
I Wrote This For You:
The biggest scars are unseen and unremembered, always from a smile you forgot long ago. We would never get anything done otherwise.
onlinejournals:
And the twenty fifth of December was just another day. I could still see my breath in the air, my family was still my family, and I was just another kid with shit to think about.
“I made it through the year and I did not even collapse,
Gotta say, “Thank God,...”

January to December, my year in review
wordsandfeathers:
A year ago I was in love. I was in love with an idea of a person, not to be confused with being in love with a breathing oxygen, exhaling carbon dioxide kind of person. This idea never flourished into anything, but rather wilted rather slowly over the course of several months while I blindly watered this toxic idea. On a cold day in late February, after returning from a...

born under water
you sometimes try to pry open clams
sometimes you find pearls and sometimes
you lose your fingertips, your sense of
touch
left bleeding on the ocean floor
“Never try to be something you’re not - instead, be something you want to...”
– Joanne McClean
shootingmoons:
The good days make me wish the bad days never happened and the bad days make me forget the good days ever do. So so so so so sick of this.
“Understand that, the prisons you’ve built are of your own design....”

I like your flaws
I like how you mispronounce words sometimes, how you fumble and stammer and stutter looking for the right ones to say and the right ways to say them. I appreciate that you find language challenging, because it is, because everything manmade is challenging. Including man, including you.
I enjoy seeing you insecure, vulnerable. I like to watch red steam light up your cheeks, a spreading mist of...
On days like this, I can only listen to Bon Iver.
wordsandfeathers:
I can’t remember what it felt like to be in love with you.
I Wrote This For You:
I picked up my hat and started to write. “You are a place in a story, in which I stop and find myself. You are my best problem. And I want you to feel this. Because this is what it feels like.”
thedustdancestoo:
i forgot how much i loved remembering you,
but then i wept, remembering the reasons
why i wanted to forget.
pavorst:
I wonder how many people held a teddy bear today. I wonder how many people made a cup of coffee, or listened to a Jeff Buckley song. I wonder how many couples broke up. How many children cried. I wonder how many people flushed a toilet, or smoked a cigarette. I wonder how many people walked, how many grew jealous, how many slept under cardboard. I imagine all of us, living under this...
rightwritecj:
Although I’ve lost my footing and my favourite coffee mug, I’ll keep on the venture, climbing any which way but up. She knows that the sunset falls earlier every night but she can’t stand the lack of light. In a corner of darkness is a reading lamp. Although every last handhold has been used to hang on, I’ll find a new heart that I haven’t completely wasted. The journey is the most...

“I only miss you when I’m breathing.”
– Jason Derulo
I like being alone too much, that’s the problem.
loveyourchaos:
I always just want to reach out to people and yell, someone make me feel better, but I know that’s not the way this works.
