You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for aĀ hundredĀ milesĀ throughĀ theĀ desertĀ repenting.
You only have to let the softĀ animalĀ of your body
love what it loves.
Tell meĀ aboutĀ despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile theĀ worldĀ goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and theĀ clearĀ pebbles of the rain
areĀ movingĀ across the landscapes,
over theĀ prairiesĀ and the deep trees,
theĀ mountainsĀ and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in theĀ cleanĀ blue air,
areĀ headingĀ home again.
Whoever you are, noĀ matterĀ how lonely,
theĀ worldĀ offersĀ itselfĀ to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese,Ā harshĀ andĀ excitingĀ -
over and overĀ announcingĀ your place
in theĀ familyĀ of things.

the best, most human piece of writing to ever exist. it is my belief every person to walk the earth needs to read this. it is a gift.
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your kneesfor a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.Ā

Bram Stokerās Dracula in newsletter format, each journal entry is sent to your inbox on the same dates Jonathan Harker wrote them. Iāve only learned about it half way through the whole thing last year so Iām trying again and itās been super fun to read the book like that. They started on May 3rd so thereās still time to catch up!

Look, first and foremost, itās normal to want to look cool. We all want to fit in, be accepted, be validated and feel like we belong, itās a natural human thing.
But the only way out is through. You have to accept and love yourself. You have to embrace your cringe, and your wonders, and your quirks. You have to learn to be proud of them. You have to validate yourself and understand that by choosing to be you, you will lose some things. Maybe some friends, maybe some validation. But you will get so much more. Thereās nothing cooler than someone who is unafraid of being who they are. Thatās the key, I guess. And itās freaking hard, so itās a process. Just start with the basics. Dress how you want to dress, look how you want to look, and experiment with it, see how you feel, face the rejection with open arms. Be cringe, but be authentic.
