β€œto try make suffering beautiful and poignant by attaching it to an aesthetic or give it artistic meaning, we actually end up avoiding letting it go” so relatable…

Your writing is really beautiful🫢🏻

i needed to hear this so bad. i'm tired of feeling like i'm wasting my potency by mourning instead of creating.

Such an important take on the poet's temperament! I have one thing to mention: the excerpt from pinterest you included is actually a poem, and a beautiful one. Highly recommend you read the whole thing.

The line about drowning not feeling like anything else, just drowning, hit especially hard.

really love this reminder that pain doesnt need to be compared. and that pain shouldnt be used as an artistic angle. really insightful read! love the bojack horseman quote. ive seen a few things here and there about the show, maybe i should watch πŸ€”
