#me #i adore this #text #innerlife #this cuts straight to the heart #remember this #very relevant right now #to the system with loveI am aware of it, the very many ways to die. I am aware of the darkness but i am more aware of the light. I am aware of the falling but i am also aware of the flight. I have known the lows but i have tasted the highs. I am aware of the scars that run through my heart but i am also aware of the few souls who have held my heart and stitched me back. I know the many reasons to drag myself into despair but i know many other reasons to hold myself towards the light. The living is for those alive and i know we must believe in our souls to push forward. I believe in pushing forward and I believe in fighting for my life.
Yellow,
Ijeoma.

OCTOBER 7TH
Whenever I get deeply depressed or hopeless, I set this as my computer background and just stare at it.
The intensity of the color, the numinous silent grace of it, completely nullifies any dark mindstates in seconds– it entirely overtakes them, drowns them in luminosity.
The simple fact that a place like this exists is enough to calm me down, really.
This is one of the most beautiful little places in the world, I think– Sainte Chapelle, in Paris. One day I’ll stand within its walls and see this in person.

Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis — 20 different artists covered 83,000 square feet with mosaics (41.5 million pieces of glass). Mosaics started in 1912 and were completed in 1988.

Guys. Laurie’s birthday is tomorrow, that means she’s been in our System for NINE YEARS. That’s amazing.
I really cannot imagine life without her. She’s been such a powerful, pervading force in our innerworld, everyone here has been affected by her presence, for the better. She honestly means the world to me.
I’ll definitely be writing something bigger about this for her later, but as for now, I just wanted to announce that here.
Laurie, you’re my knight and my best friend, you’ve always been there for me no matter how dark and lost I may feel, and I love you. You make me want to be a better person just by existing. Thank you, for all of that, and for everything else.
It goes without saying that I want you around for the rest of my life, but until that happens, here’s to the first nine years of yours. They’ve been priceless.

Oh my gosh I almost forgot today is julieenantios‘s birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART.
We’re all so, so glad to have you with us, as part of the Spectrum at long last. 4 years strong already, that’s amazing.
Really dear I hope today was lovely for you; in any case we’re all going to have to throw one of our famous last-minute nighttime celebrations together now. Consider yourself warned!
Here’s to the rest of your life. It is absolutely worth celebrating. ♥---------------------------------------
AUGUST 18
❝i. You fight because it is the most intimate act you can think of, the way blood flows from one body and spills onto the other, the way your bones collapse on impact, a meteorite fist landing in your concave crater cheek.
ii. There are no skeletons in your closet–they’re stuffed into the confession booth beside the altar to which you have chained yourself, and they rattle and they shake like a warning when you feel yourself drifting too far. (You are unsure whether this is because you are pious or because god is something you can see without a working pair of eyes.)
iii. Your memories are flame-licked and stained with blood, you’ve learned to read the wind and it whispers secrets into your ears. You know there is a pair of lips waiting to swallow you whole, heart and all; the shifts in the air tell you that you are gravitating in the wrong direction.
iv. There is a compass tattooed to your insides and still you are hopelessly lost. Heaven and Hell are warring inside you, always brutal, always merciless. If you fall, does it mean that you, too, were once an angel?

Song of the night.
Here’s a live performance of a track from a musical that has become very beloved to our heart over the years– the one and only Razia’s Shadow.
I dream of one day seeing this live, so suddenly stumbling across a unique recording of such online has just made my night.
In other news this man is also after my own heart because look at him perform, I can’t stop grinning. That is what I do when I get wrapped up in song, except he turns it up to eleven, which honestly I want to be fearless enough to do as well. It’s really great to see someone so sincerely animated by the music– especially a piece that I also love.

#poetry #this is incredible #innerlife #ME #honestly this is me in a nutshell and that is uncanny #dark and light alike #ice and diamonds both #sunbeams and fluorescent buzz #i keep forgetting that i DO have this sort of potential because it terrifies me #but here it is #i adore this #favorite #this cuts straight to the hearti accidentally built a city under my wings.
i want my eyes to be white-hot and leak smoke from the sockets while i take the sharpest knife i can find
and shove it through the heart of every photo album that holds a baby picture.
i want to be the way the world ends
i want to be a destructor, heartless and cold. in the desert, the only path i could find
was a trail of loose molars like the ones embedded in the soles of your feet.
i accidentally stepped on a small desert town. single-story buildings turned into dust between my toes,
and the hot air wound around my ankles and tried to push through my skin.
i took my tongue (the sharpest knife i could find), and unto the dust i spake, saying
I am a dark and unforgiving God,
shoving rough muscle through rows of pointed teeth, shredding flesh and renting the atmosphere, acidic breath tearing the skies apart,
I am a blind and questioning God,
stumbling
delicate.
my fingers are covered with lace, my skin
is smooth and beaded with moisture;
and instead of nerve endings my fingers are filled with flower stems. there are thorns where my bones should be.
furious rushing water has replaced plasma and there are rivers in my veins, whispering,
touching the deepest edges of leaves in my cheeks,
and the trees rooted in the darkness of my throat are a constant reminder.
i accidentally flower and let petals burst from the pit of my stomach like blessings.
i accidentally set my friends on fire.
I am a quiet God, accidentally empty
and in the desert afternoon i am not cold.

#me #innerlife #stained glass #personal aesthetic #if you ever needed a photoset to describe the essence of my being this is it #favoriteWhen stepping into a holy place, our eyes seek the light. If we’re lucky, the light will be shining through a stained glass window, adding illumination and beauty at once. Stained glass windows tell stories, educate and inspire.
And these are the most beautiful in the world.

Song of the night.
“Show Some Respect” from The Last Ship.
This musical is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever heard. Virtually every song in it pulls at your heartstrings something fierce. It’s really a gem.
This song, however, is the one that moves me the most (and that’s saying something). It’s joyous, determined, rough, hopeful, all at once… it sounds like our System, and it just… I love it. It’s a spectacular track.
#the last ship #music #musical #song of the night #video #youtube #i am in love with this musical #this makes me so happy #to the system with love #i want the exact vibe and color of this song etched into my bones #also laurie i will FOREVER think of you when hearing that woman sing #she's got your edge and energy dear #me and you need to duet this now #FAVORITE #show some respect #spectrum songs

MAY 27?
I’m still reeling from the loss of 85% of my life’s creative work a few years ago. It was a massive blow to my spirit, and having to “restart” so much of it all, almost from scratch, was daunting. I honestly did not think I could do it.
But I love my ‘creations’ too much to quit on them.
I’m still trying, bit by bit, every day. I still give it the best I can that day, even if I’m not always sure if what I’m doing is worthwhile, even if I feel utterly worthless compared to other “artists,” a term I still admittedly hesitate to apply to myself.
This sounds kind of whiny but I guess I’m just trying to show that yes, I really do still care, I really am still trying, I’m not letting the trees die. It just takes time. And I’m really happy just to see green things growing again in my mind.
