Glorious People of Planet Earth and Hopes of Self Love

Yesterday I had quite a wonderful interaction with some strangers, and I wanted to share them with you internet! I met a lovely man at the library. His name is David and he is probably around 90. I have seen him before about a year ago, and he and I chatted a bit and he was so quirky, interesting, and had a lovely slightly British accent. He told me today that I restored his faith in humanity. What an honor and complement. I thanked him, got his email, and will contact him shortly. I also met a lovely women at the Thrift Store who was a teacher at a local high school and was wearing bright blue eyeliner and had great style. She and I talked a bit and she was so nice and complemented me profusely. Then one of the workers at the thrift store told her how I was a good kid. She remembered my past purchases of children books for the kids I babysit, and then said good things about me. I am so lucky to live in such a wonderful, loving, and fantastic community. I sometimes feel not so great about myself, and think I have hurt others immensely, but then I remember what is true. Sometimes only for a split second. But I know it will come. I hope. That one day I will know that I am good like these glorious people say. And until then these complements and stories and bursts of love serve as reminders to myself, like an alarm, that I am worthy, wonderful, creative, and kind. I know these things about me now, but I tend to forget until I am thinking about them, until the love I hold for me will slowly emit like a glowing sun from my heart until it surrounds me in a warm glow and I feel safe, cozy, and good. It will happen. Until then I write, create, draw, and observe the wonders around me. I am only 16 after all.

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
