My days spill out in front of me
A torrent I can barely see, let alone catch
To-do lists scrawled in Pilot G-2 ink
Every item elbowing for space
My days are run-on sentences
My asthmatic lungs can barely read
I wish I had an inhaler for my brain
And punctuation for my life
Except
There’s something beautiful
About a life that leaves you breathless
“Dear God,” she prayed, “let me be something every minute of every hour of my life….And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.” -Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Literally so good, this is my life, except for the asthma part 😂. “I wish I had an inhaler for my brain” #STOLEN I love that

I think the coolest part of this is that you didn’t use any punctuation. When I notice that, it made the punctuation line so much more impactful

felt this, right down to the detail of the pilot g-2 (superior writing instrument in my opinion)

Oh my god I love this! Ahhhhh it makes me want to start writing again.
For real though, you were my favorite teacher in high school! I miss your class so much 💔
I still think about you a lot- I don’t know if you know how much you mean to me and how much you helped me through my depression
Thank you Gull ❤️❤️ keep being amazing
