An obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point where I couldn’t even talk about it.

What is my life for and what am I going to do with it? I don't know and I'm afraid.

sometimes i just really need my space, it’s nothing personal, but i need the time to breathe and take care of myself every once in a while, it has nothing to do with you

1) I want to talk about something that deviates from my normal tweets. I've been hesitant about expressing this since I am not an Asian American. But I want to talk about Chinese culture's implicit acceptance of pain in exchange for survival. And how that makes us silent.

I will hold you as you tell me about the moment that everything changed and you couldn't look at the world with a smile anymore.

my heart is an angry little thing. i'm trying to help it be more gentle. sometimes i'm trying too hard and it rages. i want it to learn how to live like a small leaf amidst a storm, silently enduring, softly breathing in and out, forgiving everything

I'm sorry I disappeared. I'm not myself yet.

polysemy, n.: When I say β€œlove” and you say β€œlove” our meanings overlap, but they are not the same.
polyphonic, adj.: You are lost but insist you know where you are. You want me to leave, stay, ignore, focus, push harder, and tread lightly, all at the same time.

When it feels like you can’t go on, that’s when you have to.

Don’t tell me you love me, because anyone can tell me that. Tell me that I make you tear up with anger and frustration, but at the end of the day you still want to lay down next to me, put your arms around me, and sleep.

Do you know how it ends? Do you feel lucky? Do you want to go home now?

One way to measure your comfort with another person is to see how often you feel the need to clarify or apologize not for your actions, but for how your actions may be misperceived. This could mean a lot of things, but one of them could be that you don't feel understood by them.

Everything leaves me and I don't know what to do with the nothing that remains.
