the Purgatory of a Broken Heart

Fall into the abysmal depths

Why should I be scared to step out at night? I’m grown. I can handle myself. I got the shank and the taser. ☠️

Why should I stay trapped between these four walls, engulfing me like a prison?

I want to live and be free.

Too much relational gravity can feel like surveillance, even when it’s care.

Remember that. ❤️

Don’t project that on me. I’m not upset in the least. There’s just a little moisture in my eye.

I’m fine.

For me, our metaphors feel natural, even intimate. Psychological metaphors are how I signal confidence without collapse.

Many may enjoy the glow of the fire, without being able to tolerate the gravity.

Back up from the fire, if you don’t want to get burned.
