I do have a couple social media profiles, but I've always kept them pretty strictly separate from any sort of creative online profiles that I've had, given that dA has always been my safe space to unload... plus, I'm not really active anywhere. I mostly just lurk food blogs on instagram!

Of the poetry I have read from you today and so far, it has been beautiful and I just want to say thank you for expressing yourself so beautifully and sharing it, so people like me can be touched by your words too.

Hi there. Posted the following on your old profile, sweet-lyrical (and then realised you were no longer there) so thought I should pop it here for you too. It's in reference to 'In the quiet'.
Thank you again.
Orig comment:
Do you listen to classical music at all? This piece reminds me so much of some of Stravinsky's work which (if I remember my lectures correctly) is written like this, in layers that move back and forth, alternately hiding and revealing themselves.
It's stunning.
There's also a subtle beauty here, reminiscent of Debussy's 'Prelude a l'apres midi d'un Faun'. That piece is particulary, if you've never heard it go and check it out.
I found you through LiliWrites, who very kindly posted on one of my pieces. I'm glad she did, that it brought me here.
Thank you for sharing x

Hello~
I'm really sorry to bother you, but me and my friend are looking for more people to join our contest at pixiedust-inc.deviantart.com/j…
We really wish to make the group more active and we're working hard to do that, so it'd be sad if no one joined. If you can't, maybe you can suggest someone who would be willing to join the contest. Prize donations are very appreciated as well.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day! ^_^

I responded, appropriate, with Bon Iver Erotic Stories.
And then I smiled.

let's try this again, since my iphone spazzed out at me the first time.

dude I just did that to like six comments and felt terrible. I'm just... really, somewhat unsettling depressed right now, for no real reason. lover showed up in a panic yesterday because an ambulance drove past him at the end of our street and for a minute he thought I'd done something terrible. I can barely drag myself out of bed. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Ouch. Sounds like something Jenner would immediately think, too.
I don't have anything specific to be upset over anymore than any other moment in my life. There's always SOMETHING. I know mine is ... something chemical. It comes and it goes.
one of my friends said she thinks I have -> [link]
some websites say it doesn't involve serious depression, others say it can. *shrugs* It often has a "trigger" but realistically, there are times in my life where something really bad happens and I *don't* get depressed, so I know it's more... of a mental disorder of some type. But I've been like this for as long as I can actually remember...
Whatever it is, depression sucks.

From Maine to New York
I once read in a poem that the heart rests
between beats.
My suitcase holds three books, a nightgown
and clothes for six days.
It takes five and a half hours to drive to Harlem.
My grandmother sleeps until 11. I leave
Portland at 9.
We have dinner at our favorite restaurant
on LaSalle Street. The waitress is new.
She can't recognize us.
I re-explain the specials to my grandmother who loudly
complains about the noise.
We share a fig salad. I begin to tell her about Eric,
but she doesn't look up.
I hand her a piece of bread. Zer gut. Our
pasta arrives. We eat and pay.
I carry her walker up the five steps to the street, we make
our way home.
The corner deli on 123rd is under new ownership: Welcome
to the Bahamas.
Praise the Lord Dental has closed.
We watch Jeopardy and play Scrabble.
It isn't until she goes to bed that I remember that my heart is
still beating,
that I cannot feel it rest.

Of course I will. You are basically the only person that actively watches me and comments. You are also the only person that seems to feel as if sharing my work is worthwhile.

For some. Of course some early cultures believed orgasm was the only paradise, and that women were the source of heaven.
