Catori commented on the post, simplify 2 weeks ago
We live in such a full world, such a busy, loud, happening world. We need to take a moment and just look around. We need to calm. We need o rest. We need to simplify.

Catori commented on the post, branch 1 month, 1 week ago
“Too far out on the limb,” she thinks. “He’s going to fall…” But he doesn’t. Teetering on the end of the branch, he takes one more step, out into empty air, and stands there, motionless, nothing but the soles of his shoes and eleven feet of space between him and the rocky sand. “It’s all about believing,” he murmurs almost to himself, smiling a little. he takes another step, and another, swaying from side to side and placing his feet carefully, as though on a highwire. Further out he walks, and faster, until he seems almost to be dancing along an invisible line, drawn out from the end of the treebranch towards the gentle lapping of the grey ocean. He keeps spinning onwards, upwards now too, until he is so far out above the sea that she can’t bear it anymore. Tears begin to stream down her face. “Come back!” she shouts fruitlessly, hough she knows he can’t hear her. He’s too far away for her to reach now, and he’s lost all notion of anything but the air around him… as she knew he would.

The house was old, as it was apparent from the outside. The roof tiles were falling in, the weathered wrought iron gate leered at passersby… and yet whomever looked at the house got the feeling that someone lived there… it didn’t feel empty. An if it did, it was only waiting for someone to get back.

Catori commented on the post, flat 3 months, 1 week ago
The ground goes on flat for miles. You could see anything that was on the horizon… if there ever was anything, which there never is. This is what a desert with no wind is like… flat, hot, endless. Endless. the whole world, we sometimes think, must be this windless desert. BUt where would the water in the ground come from then? It never rains… we walk on.

Catori commented on the post, claims 3 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s always hard to wake up after an amazing dream about someone, to see them and know that whatever claims they made in your sleep aren’t real, whatever kisses they gave you are your memories alone. It’s so hard to see them and not rush up and wrap your arms around them like you’ll never let go. I miss you when you’re here…

Catori commented on the post, musical 3 months, 4 weeks ago
It’s about how I feel like I can never be tied down again. It’s about how I feel that I’m finally set free from anything keeping me anywhere. It’s about how everyone feels something, whether they be blind, deaf, black, white, gay, straight, man, woman, or child. Everyone has a common language– music.

Catori commented on the post, simple 5 months, 2 weeks ago
It seems so simple to me… I can plan it all out in my head– what I’ll say, and how you’ll respond. I can hear your laughter and your foot tapping on the floor to some song in your head. I can feel your gaze as you watch me smile at someone else. It’s so simple in my head…

Catori commented on the post, since 7 months, 1 week ago
Ever since the summer, I’ve been more… myself. Less afraid to be who I am, less reserved. I’ve just let it all go and accepted who I am. Become comfortable in my own skin. Since the summer.

Catori commented on the post, gone 7 months, 1 week ago
One minute, she was sitting beside me in the sun on a park bench, and the next, she wasn’t. I looked away, towards the lemonade stand, and when I looked back, she had gone. She was nowhere to be found; not behind […]

Catori commented on the post, wet 7 months, 1 week ago
It’s nighttime, and clear. My feet are wet from running in the grass, and I’m laughing at something he said, his words still floating in the air behind us. He’s trying to catch me, hand grasping at empty air as he […]

I remember when I had first started at this school; I was a fresh face, a new spirit added to this jumbled collection of souls, and I disrupted the social order. i was friends with the superficial populars, and […]

Catori commented on the post, dominant 7 months, 2 weeks ago
The recessive genes can lie in wait for a long time, so that three generations of petite brown-haired-blue-eyes beauties will suddenly produce a green-eyed blonde giant. The world works in very odd ways.

Catori commented on the post, happy 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Happy… laughter bubbling up from deep inside my diaphragm, eyes crinkling into slits, holding a comrade’s shoulder for support. I wish I could go back to that night, and tell you what was going to happen in the […]

Catori commented on the post, walls 7 months, 2 weeks ago
The day the walls fell was the day my brother died. He was my twin brother. He said to me “Harlem, I’m going to kick some bad guy butt. You just gotta promise not to miss me, ’cause I’m doing it from heaven.” He […]

Catori commented on the post, various 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Various strands of thought sometimes cross through my head that don’t belong there. A phrase, a memory, that aren’t connected to what I’m thinking about. I’ll suddenly say aloud “Sarajevo the Mighty”, as if […]

Catori commented on the post, signs 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I guess I should have seen the signs; how my heartbeat sped up when he came into view, how I blushed constantly in his presence, how my laugh turned into an embarrassingly high pitched giggle when he made a joke. […]

Catori commented on the post, fawn 7 months, 3 weeks ago
In the forest, it’s dark. Not bad dark, just dark. The leaves and pine needles block out most of the light, and what does filter through is a muted green. In the winter, it’s green-grey. Cold, and soft. In the […]

I can feel the vibration of his humming through his shoulder. We’re dancing a swing, and both of us have been doing it so long that our breathing doesn’t even pick up anymore. One-two three, one-two three, one […]
