the truth is not cowardice

February 16, 2021 ~ Dani ~ Leave a comment

CW for trauma and suicidal ideation. Go gently, good hearts. I remember almost everything about the day I met the first person I ever loved. It was my second or third rehearsal with the Georgia Renaissance Festival and I was sixteen and excited out of my mind to be PROFESSIONALLY ACTING and I was only … Continue reading the truth is not cowardice

12:32 after valentine’s day

February 15, 2021 ~ Dani ~ Leave a comment

12:32 am, and I do not know how to be awake at this hour and so I am sopping up the dragonberry rum with leftover potatoes and vegetarian gravy. (There is also cheese and hot sauce, I am not a monster.) 33 minutes after Valentine's Day and I am full and I am loved, I … Continue reading 12:32 after valentine’s day

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I am thinking about frogs today. And not just Kermit, but we'll get to him. (Always.) No, I am mostly and vainly thinking of myself for the past nearly seven months. I've been saying for a long time that I feel like I've been having a months-long panic attack that began on Monday … Continue reading and what’s on the other side

of unreturn’d love

March 4, 2020March 4, 2020 ~ Dani ~ 1 Comment

Sometimes with one I love I fill myself with rage for fear I effuse unreturn’d love, But now I think there is no unreturn’d love, the pay is certain one way or another (I loved a certain person ardently and my love was not return’d, Yet out of that I have written these songs). (Uncle … Continue reading of unreturn’d love
