This writing is so intimate and deeply touching 🩷 “My sadness has always been the bayonet to my heart, however I am thankful for its presence in my life.” Sadness as a life companion tethered to its person… such resonant imagery! Thank you for sharing!!!

there’s something very intimate about being comforted by sadness & you capture it exceptionally well. it’s something I keep looking back on & trying to detangle as well. it feels kind of strange and wrong to be so close to something that’s ultimately doing harm but like you said it’s often all there is. anyways thank you for this!!! such lovely writing

not unrelatable at all! I do get it though, it makes you feel guilty at times. I wish it was a more explored topic, but it makes me appreciate pieces like yours way more <3

Everyday we die and become reborn, we shed and grow, we are old and we are new.
