formally asking for permission to print that so I can stare at it every day as a reminder that we are allowed to feel our emotions and that joy deserves to be cherished and felt and expressed loudly. <3

"if volume were an indicator of emotion, every single feeling would be synonymous for me. I do not know how to feel anything quietly (I do not want to feel anything quietly)." This was a very fun piece and I think more people should be open...or unafraid to share their emotions.

through you, i’ve been able to touch that joy you describe as a bomb. it must be such a dreamlike feeling to be in that place where everything feels as if you were floating in the air. i loved this a lot, and i hope to be in that same place soon too!

"I am trying to explain how the movies are playing at the same time, but the words overlap and the audience only has one set of eyes."

I want to return to this and leave a more thoughtful comment when I'm not so out of it, but this line blew me away. You're incredible, holy wow.

WUT. this is so searing and every vignette cycles back to the same intense shine it’s like staring into the sun as it’s also loose in my hair as it’s also warm on someone else’s face as it’s also leaving again. you made happiness as open as light, the same way grief extends out and out and out. I’m reeling over this! so so happy I found you here ࿐ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ * ⟡
