i was wrong

i locked myself in my bedroom today. certain that if i stopped spinning, so would the earth. certain that if i refused to look at the sun, it wouldn't be day. certain that if i stopped ticking, so would the clock. i was wrong.

a little affirmation was all i needed. so thank you.

you know what sucks about honesty? it makes you vulnerable. and you know what sucks about vulnerability? it makes you open for getting hurt. and you know what sucks about getting hurt? it makes you feel stupid for being honest.

and yet...knowing this, i continue to be honest. knowing this, i give you a little more every time. and today, i think that maybe i won't feel stupid in the end.

my least favorite part of being a woman: cramps.
