November 2016 - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2016_11_01_archive.html

On being independent (reprise). Monday, November 14, 2016. I’ve a spent a lot of this past year chasing after independence. Obsessing over it, even. For some reason, independence felt like a thing to claim, the next necessary step to my growing up. Fresh out of college, I was ready to soar – as if I had been waiting my whole life to finally be set free into the world. I felt a need to prove my competence, to show my strength, and most importantly,. To do this all alone. My survival tactic was to work har...

If you're lost and alone, and sinking like a stone, carry on - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2013/09/if-youre-lost-and-alone-and-sinking.html

If you're lost and alone, and sinking like a stone, carry on. Monday, September 30, 2013. 8221; My ten-year old self blossomed at these words. I believed in myself. I felt strong, confident, fearless – I knew I’d do big things with my life. Cut out of a flimsy sheet of blank paper, surviving delicately. 8220;Can you make me this box? 8221; I asked my boyfriend, slightly pathetically, as I buried myself under a shield of bedcovers. I felt like such a coward. 8220;But then what would I. It’s funny, b...

A few thoughts on surviving my first semester of grad school - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2015/12/a-few-thoughts-on-surviving-my-first.html

A few thoughts on surviving my first semester of grad school. Sunday, December 20, 2015. I was scared to come here, honestly. Moving to a new town, switching majors, being in a long distance relationship – this all sounded terrifying to me. Fortunately, the last few months have been nothing short of wonderful. Inside the front cover, the author himself had scrawled a note to his mentor: More than anyone, your influence, your passion for poetry, sparked these poems. You live more deliberately. So I am det...

Letter From My Conscience - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2013/12/letter-from-my-conscience.html

Letter From My Conscience. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 1 Stop dreaming about a world where you live among the howling wolves and the snarling tigers that you always envied so much. I know you yearn to be wild and beautiful, to run so fast and so free that reality falls away behind you – but the only tigers you've ever seen were at the zoo, anyways. Even they had their cages. 4 Do not resent the happy people. 5 Why do you keep waiting for the world to inspire you, to move you? 7 "The brick walls are there...

October 2016 - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2016_10_01_archive.html

This one's for the lonely. Sunday, October 30, 2016. If there is one thing I am good at. It is tucking away sad thoughts. Like pieces of stray hair tucked carefully behind my ear. I have swept every bad feeling. Into quiet, dusty corners within me. Neat little piles of garbage. That I look upon almost fondly. As if they are some kind of perverse testament to my. But lately they’ve formed a landfill. Cluttering my ribcage, spilling. It’s funny how walking around with all this inside me,. I was scared to c...

Young and wild and free - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2016/05/young-and-wild-and-free.html

Young and wild and free. Monday, May 16, 2016. You reach for the whiskey because you long to feel that burning near your heart — to feel your rib cage go up in flames, setting you free at last. You long to toss your head, give the world the finger, and disappear in one grand gesture of rebellion. You want reckless, you want passionate. You want wild. You wonder if your soul ran away long ago, because it feels like you’ve been chasing it for a while now. June 5, 2016 at 5:27 PM. View my complete profile.

The best way to die - the streame

http://www.the-streame.com/2013/11/the-best-way-to-die.html

The best way to die. Saturday, November 30, 2013. December is a cold month, an old month. It is tired and weary and its bare branches wave goodbye as they suffocate under the beautiful, white snow that gleams with hope, that promises a beginning after the end. But it is still an end. Everyone always writes about falling in love, but nobody ever writes about falling out of love. But then I saw her eyes. There was not even the hint of a sparkle, the tiniest glimmer of love! I am a 23-year-old compulsive pe...
