Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. — T. S. Eliot
November 2023 Xochilt,
I couldn't sleep, it was a bad night; seems to be the story these days. I keep wondering if you've gone forever, or maybe you were never here to begin with. It sort of feels like a long drawn out dream that I still haven't awoken from. Maybe I never will. I'm not sure I want to wake in a world with out you anyways. I should have begged you to stay, but I didn't know how. So I didn't.
I'm an idiot.
Please come back Xochilt, please come back to me. I'm going out of my mind with out you. Don't you know its just one word, one word you would have to say and I would come running to be there with you. I could be a thousand cities away but I would still come for you. I never wanted you to leave Xochilt. I still don't want you to leave.
Always Yours, Icarus

"I'm fine" His voice is soft, a breath that struggles to escape his lung. Words forced by his tongue past his teeth. Words he cannot even believe but he speaks them anyways. His gaze falls downwards away from judgmental eyes. Eyes that can see through the lies as obvious as day light. All things aside its the truth. He bares no physical scars. He can walk among his peers like anyone else. He has no right to feel the pain in his chest that feels as if it is consuming him whole. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I have to be."

kissing her was like connecting a constellation. her soft berry lips pressing to mine, the way my fingers traced the heavens in her back. it always seemed like another motion, simple and enjoyable. so simple and yet nothing has ever made my heart beat so hard in my ears, nothing has made my brain swirl with a million thoughts. kissing her is like connecting a constellation.

- You are stronger than you realize.
- You are crueler than you realize.
- The smallest words will break your heart.
- You will change. You’re not the same person you were three years ago. You’re not even the same person you were three minutes ago and that’s okay. Especially if you don’t like the person you were three minutes ago.
- People come and go. Some are cigarette breaks, others are forest fires.
- You won’t like your name until you hear someone say it in their sleep.
- You’ll forget your email password but ten years from now you’ll still remember the number of steps up to his flat.
- You don’t have to open the curtains if you don’t want to.
- Never stop yourself texting someone. If you love them at 4 a.m., tell them. If you still love them at 9.30 a.m., tell them again.
- Make sure you have a safe place. Whether it’s the kitchen floor or the Travel section of a bookshop, just make sure you have a safe place.
- You will be scared of all kinds of things, of spiders and clowns and eating alone, but your biggest fear will be that people will see you the way you see yourself.
- Sometimes, looking at someone will be like looking into the sun. Sometimes someone will look at you like you are the sun. Wait for it.
- You will learn how to sleep alone, how to avoid the cold corners but still fill a bed.
- Always be friends with the broken people. They know how to survive.
- You can love someone and hate them, all at once. You can miss them so much you ache but still ignore your phone when they call.
- You are good at something, whether it’s making someone laugh or remembering their birthday. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that these things don’t matter.
- You will always be hungry for love. Always. Even when someone is asleep next to you you’ll envy the pillow touching their cheek and the sheet hiding their skin.
- Loneliness is nothing to do with how many people are around you but how many of them understand you.
- People say I love you all the time. Even when they say, ‘Why didn’t you call me back?’ or ‘He’s an asshole.’ Make sure you’re listening.
- You will be okay.
- You will be okay.

Icarus was the son of the inventor Daedalus and a slave named Naucrate. King Minos of Crete imprisoned Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth to punish Daedalus for helping the hero Theseus to kill the monster called the Minotaur and to escape with Minos’ daughter, Ariadne. Daedalus knew that Minos controlled any escape routes by land or sea, but Minos could not prevent an escape by flight. So Daedalus used his skills to build wings for himself and Icarus. He used wax and string to fasten feathers to reeds of varying lengths to imitate the curves of birds’ wings. When their wings were ready, Daedalus warned Icarus to fly at medium altitude. If he flew too high, the sun could melt the wax of his wings, and the sea could dampen the feathers if he flew too low. Once they had escaped Crete, Icarus became exhilarated by flight. Ignoring his father’s warning, he flew higher and higher. The sun melted the wax holding his wings together, and the boy fell into the water and drowned. Daedalus looked down to see feathers floating in the waves, and realized what had happened. He buried his son on an island which would be called Icaria, and the sea into which Icarus had fallen would ever after be called the Icarian Sea [x]

Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell to the earth as his wings of wax melted But what they don’t tell you is
Daedalus watched His child fall
Had to retrieve the body From the depths of waves Smooth the feathers From his face The scraps of what remained Of the wings He had built for him
The last laugh of his victory Etched on his face (Joy even in burning Because he had been so close)
Happiness is reserved for those Who know their place between gods and earth (Sun and Sea)
Icarus had loved the sun And so Daedalus lost his — we write about the fallen but forget the falling
