outpatient is lowkey saving my life

thank fuck for IOPs!

been having A Time and i love love love

there is no language on this earth to describe how much i love her

today i sold a book about animals to a very sweet & talkative Black boy named Mason & his mom took a photo of us together

(i’m working it out, all is not lost, etc)

harvard approving me for a *medical* leave & promptly cutting off my health insurance……i guess the real outpatient treatment was the friends we made along the way

got my first piece of mail to the bookstore, too

today i sold a copy of my favorite picture book from childhood to a pregnant Black woman. never kill yourselves, divas

I had always imagined it would be Anas announcing to us live on Al Jazeera that the genocide has come to an end while he takes off his press jacket. I can’t believe he’s gone. This is so devastating

when I get to Heaven I’ll ask God why he was scared to make Ace a stud

shoutout to my ancestors for steering me away from that omfg

me after gathering all the poets around for a watch party because there was a new zendaya show premiering that night called euphoria with minimal info leaked beforehand:

super random, but i’m thinking about how important the bucknell fellowship for undergrad poets was to my life as a writer. a *month* of reading & writing & laughing in the woods will really change you lol

“pop crave (temporarily) disproved my extensive schizophrenia allegations” is a crazy sentence but it’s on my heart

my roommate showed me this on live tv right as i came in the house and tbh it felt too close to a hallucination to take seriously

defo gave both of those tonight

at any given moment i could be either one of these lovely people honestly

mani-festing (rather than manifesting) is only for people named imani btw so if that’s not ur name you can’t do it :/

i saw things i imagined i fear….
