And yet, When thrushes call, Or winds awake And sigh – and sink – And fall – Into the evening’s grey I think – And think This small heartbreak Will wear my life away. - A small thing by Marion Angus #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

It is wild how many porn accounts I have to block on instagram on a daily basis. 🤷

One year bedbound, I lose track of the natural world, the only place I didn't question if I belonged. But strains of it still drift through walls in birdsong, distant banter of crows, whispered echoes of rain. Found this on https://www.reddit.com/r/cfs/s/rNWOl9QN3A #mecfs #chronicillness

Balanced there, suicides sometimes meet, raging at the fruit a pumped-up moon, leaving the bread they mistook for a kiss, leaving the page of the book carelessly open, something unsaid, the phone off the hook and the love whatever it was, an infection. - Anne Sexton #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

🧶 knitting - Off the needles! Now I need to block it. I am glad that I went for the sock yarn instead of silk. It has more texture and it feels like touching the leaves. Undoubtedly, my best work so far! Extremely proud of myself.

🧶 knitting - Started the decrease section and have to unravel 😬 I have become a tinking expert, but even that couldn't save me from this mistake. So going all the way down to the lifeline 😭

Six more months and then i am done

Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too, The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars, All things are changed, save in the east The faithful beauty of the stars. - Winter Stars by Sara Teasdale #Poetry #LiterarureSky 💙📚👀
