Rigor Mortis

"‘Why can’t I turn this off? No one else seems to feel this the way I do.’
Because you, and others like you, are the nerve endings of the world. You need to be the ones who say ‘Ow!’ when the world cuts itself, so that they don’t do it again. Others are the skin on the bottom of the feet, some are hands but you and others like you, you are the heart and the never endings that must feel everything that can be felt. I’m so sorry.
‘Don’t be sorry. I just wanted to know.’"

I helped myself.
wiped my own tears.
put balm over fresh wounds.
plastered parts of my heart that still were hurting.
gave myself time.
read books that soothed my soul.
heard music that calmed my nerves.
watched movies that made me smile.
bit by bit, piece by piece, I put
myself back together again.
and I gave myself a second chance
because I know that if I didn’t,

then no one else would.

nemfrog:

Today we ask the question – Nemfrog, hopeless hodgepodge or irreplaceable archive?
And the answer is…irreplaceable archive. Because long ago I decided to tag everything I post, Nemfrog became a searchable database that grows everyday.
This month Nemfrog celebrates its fifth anniversary. During December I will be posting highlights from the collection by using tags, both the expected and the sui generis.
Today you’ll be seeing posts tagged #cover. Enjoy! And if you have a minute why not search #cover on Nemfrog and see what you come up with.
