2025 august 7, recognizing toxicity veiled in self interest and ostensibly wise cynicism
i'm a bit sad more than anything that i spent the last two years of college like that, but i wouldn't say i regretted it (as i would say about any formative experience i've ever had ever). i have more recently come to peace with a lot of thoughts i had previously had about this issue, however, which i would like to process some more in writing. some brief context includes a character who i initially adored for her extensive introspection, omnipresent concrete criticism, and powerful language, only to recognize much later how reactionary and superficial a lot of this was as is shown through demonstrative actions of filial support, denying sympathy to those facing similar woes as her own (and in fact shaming or otherwise harassing said people), meticulously discriminating against non conforming queer individuals, and generally not valuing any form of genuine communication as a means to... communicate, but rather to argue for the sake of fighting... to win. after experiencing the unbridled personality of this person during my own time of stress (which looked like gaslighting, blaming, gossiping, and hypocrisy) without an ounce of the sympathy i was shown before (an ode to fragility and shallowness), and allowing for time to put distance between the end of our relationship and my own chance to process things, i have come to realize how much more taxing than beneficial it was to have this person in my life--which is not at all necessarily to say that she was a bad person, but rather someone who would be particularly stunting for me to keep around.
recently, i have come to earn that i am not alone in this sort of grievance, both in my partner who faced this journey graciously alongside me, and in strangers who have dealt with a similar personality type before. in this recovery process, it has been helpful to know that i am not alone in my experience, something i forget that i am entitled to as a person living with experiences and that i hope this person also gets to have in case she still, wrongly, believes she was fully and wholly in the right.
i would not necessarily say that i am hung up on this person, but i do think it is agreeable to say that a person who has been actively present in one's life every single day for a little over a year has lasting impacts on a person, regardless of connotation. cutting off someone this close to me is not a concept that sits well with me; i am very uncomfortable with the idea of losing someone or access to someone after time of getting to know their preferences and quotidien. hell, i am still trying to at least infrequently at an arm and a leg and another limb's distance keep in touch with someone who has physically abused me. while i recognize the idea of not always owing the world my attention or forgiveness, some part of me believes that every experience i have is mine and for me to have. learning to cauterize a saccharine tyrant and all ties back to her took time, learning and unlearning, patience with myself, and is still an ongoing experience that i find myself actively juggling sometimes even to this day, months after the fact. i have to remind myself that it is for the better that i am no longer walking an impossibly thin tightrope while getting scrutinized and chastised a million times over again and again. the more i look back, the more i see how tired and cautious i always was. i had expressed quite early on in our relationship to a friend that i felt like i was unloved and being stretched thin, unaware that my emotions were strongly tied to the way i was being treated even early on when i thought this person to be infallible.
none of this is to say that i have been innocent myself for these last two years, or ever or always. i am not afraid to own up to the fact that as a human being, i make mistakes, i lie, i get nervous, i say the wrong thing, and i hurt people--but what distinguishes me from this person is that i am not someone who rests their faith on cynicism, my ego, or doubt in every person i know. even after it all, i would still say that i believe people can get better--anbelie idea that she vehemently argued against me, and yet simultaneously leveraged against me by at first claiming that she understood me and saw that as a fellow cluster personality human, then turning around and claiming me to be manipulative and a liar. at this point, i am unable to defend her disguise of intent as well meaning--she claimed to have tried helping me over and over again, which is entirely untrue--while, as an english major/writer, intentionally using aggressive and cold language. this is where i take a page out of her book--while i think she still has the time and space to foster herself in paranoia and interpersonal relationships, i would not want to face further emotional and otherwise psychological abuse from someone who contiuously led me to believe she understood me, only to twist the conversations we had to make me feel like the aggressor to her victimhood. i have seen well after outside of my own interaction that she is still a sour person who would do anything to use hurtful language and triumph over putting in the last word. in any case, i only hope for the best for the both of us, as anyone would.

a box of letters I never delivered
a book of photos I called scrapbooking
(I just wanted to look through every image of you)
a folder of bookmarked posts, most about Yakuza
a playlist, or three, of songs that have something to do with you
a room that smells sort of musky, sort of like garlic
a bathtub that has pink mold in between the tiles
a sink with blue stains that climb up the mirror
a stovetop whose pot residue doesn't come off no matter how much multiuse cleaner we use
a 3d printer in a closet that's always busy
a trash can that's never empty that isn't sorted
a bottle of rain ex, probably still more than half full

ray of gold, drop of sun
pierce through daydreamt musk
flare my lens magnolia and lilacs
sickly sweet, sweat to sheets
groggy wake and breath before
kiss me sweet and hold me tight
trail blazing, nape to neck
from satin, from cotton

the fireworks, sky flowers—do you remember them?
I do, no more than I do you
not every day, but only when I see carnations,
a blood orange, or the red felt strip that protects my piano
the same colors that reflected off your eyes
the night we spent on the 13th floor of that silly hotel
above a crowd of friends and fiction
after a day of victories—first and second.
it was so loud. fanime was always loud
it was never too hard to focus on your voice
a gentle melody that cut through it all
you always loved rocks. all 76 of your rocks
but especially the one you kept in it's own special vial
an unassuming little mass of silver powder.
you refused to wear gold since it wasn't your color
I could argue the opposite.
do you remember the fireworks?
I could never forget them.
how you loved alkaline water, how you loved alkalinity
how you loved your bottled, silvery metal
and how all the fireworks that night
got your red from strontium

sink helplessly into decandent bass
struck by hammers wavering heart and strings
, pulling
whispered through curtains of meshseeped melodies of sun, snow
glisten and dance laced in white daze
a daze under stars, the lune and movements split in thirds
for slumber and rest, we wane and I love you in between
number fingers, crest come on a slow ballad, hushed by wind
we fall to a hush as velvet curtains draw over an audience of none
the tides draw and crash,
dissonance
a blue melodies weeps over deep timbre that aches,
longs
perform for me
only for me
in an exchange of song and dance, step into glissando
your fluidity, wash me away
suds that pass the earth.
she drinks me away and I'll be gone

i’m losing your scent to the sheets i wrap myself in at night, who just as eagerly lap up your body, mimicking you and teasing me of your presence
- something about strawberries? or mustard or bread or mayonnaise on toast

i love you
ay, with more than a million reasons behind it
i wonder if you’d understand what i mean
when i can’t even explain something as simple
as the meaning of “exacerbate”
i love you
i say, hoping to fulfill some more of this meaning
through kisses that i try my best
the channel just how large i feel for you
hopelessly, i’ll litter your face with sloppy kisses
because you tell me they make you feel loved
i love you
you’d respond, and i’d be okay if it was out of courtesy
but then you’d tell me so many other things
that will cause my mind to churn and sob and wonder
if you love me as much as
i love you
i’d say, with nothing but my whole being
it seems you’ve occupied all of my conscience:
in mind, body, and spirit
i don’t even believe in god
i love you
more than i can begin to explain
can i put into words the colors that explode from my soul when i look at you?
it’s more than all the flowers that have ever bloomed on earth
the feeling floods my body and i’m suspended in emotion
i love you
more than i love hair that grows out simply because someone mentioned not needing a haircut in passing
more than the smell of head and shoulders 2 in 1 with dandruff prevention
more than green, saturated pants
more than denim aprons in the summer
more than baja blast and taco bell diablo sauce for the first time
more than collared shirts because necks look naked without something there
i love you
the words flit across my mind over and over again
as you tell me about me, about you, about me
about us, all in some silly filipino accent
and all i can do it stare in admiration as you laugh at how funny you are
because you are funny

it feels like dawn should break anytime soon. i’ve scrolled through the endless abyss that grants time travel, but it seems to be broken this morning. i am trapped here with no escape, knowing there is nothing i can take from this dreamscape. what do i make of the incessant thoughts? unwanted company ever berating me with ideas of being absolutely ruined—to be ravaged like a toy. i want merely to exist on any plane but human. i can indulge in the three digit dance. however, my secret passage is one that my identity even refuses. i know that i am repulsed by such actions, but tonight i need to be quenched. my mind has served to bivouac these foreign thoughts several soirées now, and what better finale than to go out with a blow, but i leave tonight yet another anticlimactic settling. i’ll leave my thoughts for another night. now, i go out to cvs, fearing my life and craving a deep slumber. tomorrow might be the day.

my departure would leave but a whole in my own chest
or an unhallowed slice that knows no boundaries
because i’m not left handed
but you shouldn’t suspect my self-righteous suicide
your denial favors a homicide to take to the news
something to create a spectacle of your child
because your agape loves her with no bounds
but they’re not your child, for you’ve deprived them of nourishment
their body will go, following suit behind their mind and heart
and you? your unfamiliarity protects you
and that’s fine; it’s funny
what’s 19 years given but 19 weeks of context
through in-cohesion and mangled thoughts
you find sand that slips between string seekers
there is no upward trend
greenhouse is an original story i have been brewing since 2014, when i was eleven years old and in the sixth grade. largely inspired by tumblr's FNAF fandom (specifically bamsarakiilledyou) and zach, i decided to show off my own thinking by projecting different facets of my identities (and some others) onto this cast of chaotic rat men characters. i am VERY slowly but steadily working on refining and putting into words this story of vague concepts of an idea that have stewed in my mind for the past eleven years now. please enjoy :)
Greenhouse follows the Drivhus!!! of The Calbit Islands!!!, specifically Miki Chiang, a middle aged bisexual woman who once was a member of The New Americas!!! (TNAs): a perfect America that arises in 5393. As she and many similarly queer Americans are banished from TNAs; main and home land to "The Verdants!!!"; to a way off shore island, a new civilation comes to rise. Inspired by puberty-emerged powers, revealed as Graces of GodFormerly deemed "Gifts" due to their, the Verdants adapt where the Drivhus grow. This Banished World, come to be known as The Calbit Islands (TCIs), raises children who had been sent off at birth after having their natures foretold to exhibit sexual deviancy. As TNAs strive to develop a streamlined society, with holistic goals to further the gap of world power importance, any political challenge must be set aside. Risking the wellbeing of a grander population at the grace of allosexual individuals was not an issue the government feels is conducive to care for.
