On Green and Growing things
This is something to help give you a little hope in life ๐
DISCLAIMER: I did not take the bumblebee photo. Everything else is (was?) courtesy of yours truly and Mother Nature.
Welp, that’s all for this post! I hope you enjoyed it, even if it didn’t exactly incite hope in you. I had fun making this, and I spent waaay too much time (and storage) taking pictures. And sorry if the photos aren’t very good, I am not a professional photographer.
K, bye! (For real this time) ๐

However you wish to say it, purple is amazing color.
It symbolizes royalty/authority, intelligence, wealth, wisdom, bravery, and spirituality. Purple can also be associated with eggplant. ๐
Plus, purple looks good with every single other color out there.
And there are many shades of purple, so there’s something for everyone.
Most of all, purple is just a beautiful color.
(Second only to red)
I literally looked up the word “purple”, and here are some of the photos I kept (I saved like 90! ๐):
Welp, that’s all for this post! Hope you enjoyed! ๐
<Edit: captions are below the images.>
P.S. This post was kind of impromptu, so I’m not sure if I should have done it or not…๐

Some music for us depressed poets (my version of a love letter)
I know this week is supposed to be about fear, but I can’t help but feel like we need to adress another emotion. Depression. Or any emotion like that of depression.
Here is a playlist for y’all:
Listen to it if you’re a poet but not depressed
Listen to it if you’re depressed but not a poet
Listen to it if you’re depressed AND a poet
Listen to it if you’re neither depressed nor a poet
Also when you feel like there aren’t enough depressed poets out there.
And/or when you feel like the ONLY depressed poet out there.
In short, listen to it. It is soooo soothing, and actually helped me write this blog post. It takes a lot of courage to admit that.
I hope the music helps you like it’s helping me.
Most importantly, stay safe and find something to be happy about.

The Compass, the Map, and the Traveler
This is a poem I wrote. To me, it’s about having a semi-dysfunctional mind and being different. Enjoy!
I hear the whispers on the wall
I see the writing in the halls
I can smell the fire
And feel the smoke
I can taste your feelings
And sense your blood
(No, I’m not a vampire lol)
Over my skin
In under my head
They pointed me in every direction
I went the other way
I’m that purple sun
Against the angry yellow sky
Levitating like a black hole
Grounded as space
I’ll be that evening sunrise
A morning sunset
I drowned out the soft pills
Swallowed the voices
Went off-key
Harmoniously
I don’t want to take the popular road
I wanna get the heck out of Rome
Paint the people
Save the town
Build the castle
Storm a wall
I’m finding my place
Taking my way
I’m the smallest giant
The largest dwarf
Please don’t try to stop me
Or turn me into your me
I’m becoming my OWN home

Push & Pull
Ok, so, I wrote this when I was feeling a bit lonely, so the lines might be kinda sad. Or weird, i dunno. Also, sorry if the rhyming isn’t very good, I’m still working on that… ๐ Alright, I’ll stop blabbing and let you read the poem. Enjoy! โค๏ธ
Could you plz go away?
But I’m just gonna beg you to stay
I don’t ever wanna see you again
No, stay right here and be my friend
You can leave now
On second thought; don’t, or I’ll have a cow
You can see yourself out
Wait, actually, please, could you stick around?
This game of tug-o-war
I can hardly take it anymore
But if I stop now
I’ll just shut you out
Forever
And I never
Want you to get hurt
Give you something you don’t deserve
Push and pull, push and pull
Move some dirt, dig a hole
Yank and shove, yank and shove
I’ll shower you with my love
Then build a stone wall
I burnt the bridge so you won’t fall
I’m a bad person, so I try to be a good friend
If you end up hurtin’, sorry, didn’t mean to offend
Truth is, I’ve got your best interest in mind
And that is why I’ll leave you behind
Again, this was written according to what I was feeling in the moment. So some of these lines may be only semi-true. Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed! Have a great day! โค๏ธ (I sound like a Youtuber lol)

I shall build
I wrote this poem at 8:00-ish PM, and it’s not very good…. ๐ Please don’t judge me.
With these bricks in my hands and at my feet
I shall build
Create
REcreate
Maybe I will build a house
To get one person out of the streets, and humanity one step out of homelessness
Maybe I’ll construct a wall
Around MY brick house
To match the walls surrounding my mind
Maybe I’ll rebuild a city
Build it back up from the rubble
The shambles of its past
Or maybe I’ll build up a bridge
A long one; to make up for all the bridges I’ve burned
But then,
how will that save the people drowning?
Maybe I should just use the bricks as an anchor
So I can dive down and bring them back up to the surface
But I’ll need to anchor MYSELF first
Or maybe,
I’ll just
Use these bricks
For a fire pit
To burn the scars
I’ll replace these old scars with new ones
Maybe I will take these bricks and break glass windows
That way no one has to see the inside
Because no one can see through a boarded-up space
Maybe I’ll use these bricks to hold down the Weeds
Because if I can’t hold down my own thoughts, at least I can hold down SOMETHING
Maybe I’ll build a highway to Mars
To fully embrace Alien
And any Outcast can come with me
But no normal people, sorry
I’m not sorry
Maybe I’ll build a hospital
So the people with burn scars can heal
And those who fell off the bridge can be rehabilitated
And the ones who got cut from the glass
And/or splintered by the wood
Can find a proper band-aid ๐
Maybe I’ll take them (the bricks) and build some random structure
And we’ll paint those bricks
To cover up that boring red
Oh, did I say boring?
I meant morbid
Because some of these bricks are coated with blood
Wait
Is THAT why I’m empty?
But that- I can’t be
Cuz I get angry
Maybe I will use these bricks and build a stairway to the sky
And use broken glass to search for the things I’ve lost
Assuming I didn’t lose them on Mars
In which case they’ll never be coming back
Maybe I’ll build a 12-story building
So I’ll have enough room to store peoples’ stories
But everybody’s story just keeps on building
So then we’re gonna need 12 more stories
Or 12 more buildings
Whichever is least expensive
Or maybe I’ll build an empire
To give everybody somewhere safe to live
I will be your refugee camp
But I only wear pants so you’ll have to settle for buildings
There’s no such thing as a brick tent
And when you’re done coloring what I’ve built
Color me
There’s my poem! Again, sorry it’s so cringe and I hope you enjoyed. โค๏ธ

Here’s to the LGTBQ+ Community
I’m not sure why, but I can’t stop thinking about you. So I took a few screenshots of a really good song (it was a GLMV, no shame). It’s called “Stand Out Fit In”. I hope it gives y’all some encouragement….
I hope that gives you some hope/encouragement. If not, I’m sorry. Also, before I forget, here’s the link to the vid:
