Status Updates From Raised By Ghosts

“Pick your favourite three movies and tell me what you think.”

“ I made you a mixtape. I hope you like it.”

“Dear paper, dear pencil. You are saving me. My mind gets so crowded and I am so alone. But once I can translate the things in my head…and see them on paper I am myself again. I can feel the world around me. You are as light as air but carry the weight of my world. Thank you.”

“I would stay here forever if I could. Bask in the feeling of my mum… To be eternally in her lair. I know I won’t have her for forever. One day she will be gone. Her joy, her rage, her criticism, her intensity and even her love. Love that cures and love that crumbles me.”

“Even though you are right next to me it’s like you are already gone. I am holding your hand. We are drinking stale coffee late at night. I am writing your note. If I put you on paper, turn you into a drawing, I will never lose you. You will never die. You are a mist. A fog. My arm brushes through you as I nudge you to look at something funny.”

“I miss you.”
