Sometime in July, 2013

I miss when our teachers held our hands and led the way
When they showed us what to do and had good things to say
Instead of the disappointment now that they can’t even express
And their pain and anger and apathy and distress
Thanks to our thick skins and thick skulls and indolence
Is it too late? Have we crossed a line?
Is there a way to fix it, to somehow make it fine?
It IS only just July, we still have time
We can still get our act together and make them proud
When the results are out, we can all shout out loud
WE DID IT
WE FREAKIN’ DID IT!!

⚪ April 2018 It's been a tough few days, weeks, months, year(s?) since I found you and started losing you before I even had you I've gotten sicker and heavier and heavier and heavier and most days I can't tell sadness and gravity apart I've let bottles of cheap alcohol and boxes of menthol cigarettes come and go before I could let you go let us go Let me go you bitch  ⚪ February 2018 Do I miss you or the feelings? Fuzzy ones, warm ones, like my grey socks but not grey - actually, give me the grey I'd rather not feel anything at all than the deep and unrelenting sadness of being alive Figures, grey is your favorite color.  ⚪ March 2018 Why do I keep coming back to you like a stuck anchor? You're still my only point of reference I know nothing else and I can't progress, like driving 8030 km with the handbrake on- I made it, but does anything work anymore?  ⚪ January 2018 I'm still here in these grey sheets I bough

They say you need to love yourself before you can love another My Warrior Princess of Badassery Two similar pieces of a jigsaw puzzle never fit just right with each other And if you and I are similarly odd similarly flat similarly skinny little pieces of a puzzle in hobo pants, war paint and Samurai hair At least I know that we are two ill-fated, slightly banged up irregular pieces of the same puzzle. And I love you regardless - I am almost glad I can't not. ~ "It is hard to stop loving the ocean" ~ I've washed you out of the clothes I took back from your apartment But the smell still lingers In the air You still linger In the breeze in my hair In that canvas still bare In the colors I do not wear Anymore. ~ Your love is a sweet vortex and I'm free falling out of reality I speak my honest lies As long as we can keep up the pretense your glitter laugh is my momentary truth sweet pirate

Heyy everybody! Yesterday a government official put me in a box (which I didn't even notice until my brother pointed out the giant ribbon on my head) and I'm still somewhat disturbed, so let me address this unruly tenant of the bed and breakfast that is my brain and get closure so I can focus on more important things to stress about, like not going to prison this academic year. #optimismingthru Let us begin. We had some work in the passport department so my brother can enter and inhabit his CalTech mothership without any trouble, and the cop lady asked us some smart alecky questions about our citizenship and residence, and then the procedural questions about our age and where we're educating ourselves and my sister is a 23-year-old engineer and my brother is an 18-year-old future scientist and she asks me what I do and my mother, my brother and I answer at the same time saying "Bangalore madhye BA kartiye" ( doing BA in Bangalore ) and "English Literatur
