Garlic in the Cake


 1 Grad school

I really want to go to graduate school, and in particular I want to get an MFA in fiction or poetry. I think I decided this morning that I'm leaning more towards poetry, and one of the requirements for the application is that you need to have a few poems under your belt in your portfolio, so I've decided to start writing poetry (instead of fiction or non-fiction, which I'll still do, but idk). Idk why I decided I want to do poetry, but I kind of wanted to write some love poems anyways, so here it goes: 

2 Garlic in the Cake

Ser un principio de un historía del amor, baby

The door opens and what comes through it is a sieve

In the beginning everything was so sweet, like honey, bees were buzzing

Now it feels like mincing garlic

Flowers became flour, x (kisses) became eggs 

And now I'm baking a cake ... with garlic 

En el principio everything was so sweet, honey

My lips are buzzing

Waiting for the taste of your voice like an unopened letter

Maybe it's better this way, maybe if

Time could turn back to the beginning everything would taste comme sucre again

But we wouldn't want to get diabetes or any other sugar-related illnesses

So that's why I put garlic in the cake

Babe

Omg why am I putting garlic in cake. Lmfao. Writing poetry feels like a fever dream x schizophrenia teas. I feel like I have so many ideas in my head at once and it's like sifting through words, so maybe that's why I thought of cake. Garlic because I'm making noodle soup right now for my mom's birthday because she wants to eat noodles (I wanted to go to Urban Plates). Do you think the poem is too short? Aren't poems supposed to be short? Anyways, I feel like this is a manageable task, writing a poem everyday. Poems aren't that hard to write I feel like it's just hard to write an actual poem that hits. Anyways, signing off for the day! Love you x 60secondfairytales lolz.

Revisiting Caffeine

* * *  It's true, caffeine is a socially sanctioned  addiction  that is more pervasive than any other addiction.  I've been reading through r/decaf and going through my own ups and downs when it comes to caffeine and /or coffee and my present presentiments about it. On the night before Christmas, I prayed to G-d to release me from the grasp of caffeine, and on Christmas, I spent my first day in a long time without caffeine. I didn't even drink decaf coffee that day.  And I'm not even going to lie, I did not have a very tea day that day. I mean, I didn't even have tea! I think I pretty much spent the whole day lying on the couch in the room adjacent to the backyard door, with the sunlight streaming in through the plexiglass (?)--I think it's more like plexiplastic--door and with me lying on the brown couch alternating between consciousnesses. It wasn't my first time in recent memory doing this--sleeping all through the day, but I think it was my first time in...

秋风秋雨一场梦 《第一章》

  秋风秋雨一场梦 author’s note- 我是想写一个爱情故事关于两个大学生同学，就像致我们单纯的小美好同样的幼稚童年小说，只是就讲两个男的。我知道中国人有点不像美国人一样包容同性恋这件事，以毕竟我在简书上发布的文章被禁闭了，所以我觉得我得小心翼翼地写，不要自找麻烦。但是，因为这是我自己的博客，那我想写什么就写什么吧。我一直都想写网络小说。这是我第一次试着写自己的小说。谢谢关注和阅读虽然我的中文基础没那么先进。而且我很多词感觉不太对劲，然后很多成语是我自己编的。所以，谢谢读者，你的耐心和原谅，我都 appreciate 。那么，故事正时开始！ 1 喝点咖啡想想看 2004 年， 8 月 9 号。外头狂风狂雨，风刮地嗡嗡响，大家都往里面去呆着。妈妈跟小孩，到里面的图书馆，看渔港里的鱼游着转，各种少年小朋友放学进咖啡店望着外面的雨景，男女朋友一起到电影院看恐惧片。而邱峰正就坐在他家卧室里，喝着杯小咖啡，想事情，写作。 邱峰今年要 32 岁了。他的生日就是明天，可是他还没约好什么计划。他正在想他是不是要约他的女朋友菁菁一起去吃个晚餐。他最爱吃的肉面就是他心目中的愿望。算了吧。菁菁一定会很忙。她毕竟是个高名鼎鼎的大律师，长期工作很晚。应该会没有时间跟他吃牛肉面吧。他心里开始郁闷，怎么好像没什么别的朋友可说的？叹气。 忽然，他的电话开始嗡嗡响。邱峰这时叹口气，拿起他的 Motorola razr ，接电话。 “ 哈喽，邱峰大哥，你忘记了吗？今天是你小说发布会！都已经 4:30 了，你怎么还没到？！ ” 原来是小旭，他的 PR 人。他老叫他 “ 大哥 ” 。邱峰低头看了一下他的手表，确实是以 4:30 ，发布会 4:45 就正时开始。不说他还能不能赶得上去，他还需要吗？

My Anxiety - Doechii

 1 Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ?  Recently my therapist has been trying to push something on me. Dialectical behavioral therapy. She has been suggesting that I come to the dialectical behavior therapy group for weeks, and I've been telling her I already go to so many therapies that I am running out of the ability to keep track of when I'm going to them. So I told her I'd think about it.  The concept of dialectical behavior therapy intrigues me though. My therapist told me there were many different techniques and skills involved in dialectical behavior therapy, one of them being radical acceptance. Radical acceptance is the concept (I think?) of radically accepting things in your life as true, even if or especially when you don't want to accept them. An example of this is me with my anxiety, like radically accepting that I have anxiety, and accepting it when it does come up.  But I think more than things like radical acceptance and mindfulness, I'm interested in d...
