| sooo im bleeding. hooray.
and i came here to describe the crippling pain im in. well. my lower abdomen is throbbing. i go through waves of crushing pain where it feels like someone is just squeezing my uterus or rather trying to pull it out of my body. then i feel the soothing comfort of a warm bath. its like my body is fighting with itself. pain, comfort, pain, comfort.
__________________ The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience. |
