Your entry is so moving, and the end is so empowering and beautiful. I was especially struck by "this one curls up small and shuts up, waits for the world to leave (you have such a well-behaved kid!)" as well as the whole metaphor of carefully sewing up what was never truly lost. Just, wow.
Fun to see the first entry in yet another format, and excited to see where else your stuff goes. Definitely relate a lot to all of these musings & takes on skin.
after today, i'll actually be able to post prompts etc from the muse ariadne acc... yay! waiting period over!

i love this so much ! such a creative response to the prompt 🥰 adding you to the members page now !
"An observer of all things," hm? I've begun to feel similarly in these past years. I thought my life's purpose was to pursue happiness, but that is often unattainable to me, so now I see my life as a catalog of expereiences; good & bad, I just want to feel, to experience & observe. I understand what you're saying & see nothing sad about it.
I think you're right that writing comes from loneliness. Writing is just talking to ourselves at the end of the day. I wonder if I'd have started writing if I'd had a many friends growing up? Anyways, pleasure to read.
@vashti I don't really see anything sad about it either, but i find it interesting how people interact with what i say or do, especially if i don't really get where they're coming from, like in the case of that teacher. I'm glad you relate, you put it very well! I've always said my ultimate dream is being human, which means to observe and feel in earnest and experience [x]
Beautiful entry, really evocative.
wow that was wonderful. beautiful job, i could really feel n see everything
