"There’s a big big chaos in me because I horribly need people to understand my side, know my truth, perceive what I perceive. But I guess time and experience has already taught me that because we don’t share the same experience and that we have very much different capacities and incapacities, — some things, for some people, are just impossible to learn. And I guess I somehow already settled with that; like, I know there’s a chaos, but I managed to build a roof and walls somewhere that will serve as my shelter. And that now, I just want that settlement be not disturbed."

"
i am not easy.
i want to be easier. first meeting laughter and conversation.
i want to be heartfelt hugs with strangers. deliberate handshakes.
i want to be soft and sultry, all ‘babe’ and ‘darling’ and ‘what’s cooking good looking?’
i want to be ‘lets do dinner this evening’, last minute plans and ease.
but i am not easy.
i am slow and delicate. words on a text message checked three times before sending.
i am anxious, replaying conversations. over and over.
and i am faultering.
all: ‘hey…um… are you busy? i..err… was gonna go and do something. but you don’t have to if you don’t want to…’
apologetic, pathetic.
i am all heaviness and weight. all dragging my being through life.
i want to be easy. i want to float through life. light and air.
love and grace.
i want to be easy.
