spit out from one half of the world to another, it’s tremendous weight to start again. when times are apart, the internet can only bring us together by sacrifice… sometimes a shared sorrow bleeds out !!:!/&!/

feeling antsy, snippet from blog

Screenshot of a blog post snippet with ant graphics overlaid. It reads: "Ants crawl on top of me. I’ve not seen an ant in ages. The tiny, black ones; ones that taste sweet when they drown in water, or perhaps it was because the water itself was sweet. It doesn’t matter, I drank it anyways. They stray from their path, lost, having to reckon with the fact that I might…swipe them off without even looking. Right now, I feel lonely."
