Juxtaposed : Day 64 #100daysofwriting

I'm in an emotional jumble. In the space of a week I've felt so juxtaposed.

I've mourned the broken shards of a friendship lost because of rejection. But been told by at least three people that I am one of their favourites. I've felt afraid and cowardly, but had my courage praised. I've held a tiny life in my arms and felt heartbreak over life lost.

I could write more, but do you have any idea of the emotions contained in that single paragraph? How complex our lives are, how precious are the moments. And yet, here we stand, alive.

Abscess Abacus #100creativedays Day 88

"Click, click, click
I slide the beads and count
The minutes
Hours
Days
Nights
Weeks
Months
Eons
Since
We spoke
I drank
We danced
I ate
We laughed
I cried
Click, click, click
Counting
Counting
How long till
A baby
(Not mine)
A wedding
(Not mine)
A heartbreak
(Not yours)
How long since
I drank
I loved
I cried
We spoke."

"If you hurt inside, If you confide in me again..."



In 1997 a boy made me a mixtape and hid it in the hedge next to the gate at school.
The music on that mixtape shaped my musical education and was the soundtrack of my teenage years.

This song "Said Sadly" was on the tape and has always had a really special place in my heart - it's a really beautiful, heart twisting ballad...

I've missed the nights were Billy Corgan sung me to sleep.

night all
