fuck this, honestly. that instant, that absolute CLARITY, when something so damn innocent rips open the whole damn landscape of everything i've ever felt, all at once, joy just absolutely colliding with this gut-punch of what's gone, what's maybe never coming back, and it's not even sad, not really, it's just this furious exhaustion that my insides can never just pick one lane. always this endless, churning, beautiful, devastating MESS. makes my teeth ache with the effort of holding it all.
