In English, we say: “I miss you.” But in poetry, we say: “I trace the shape of your absence in the spaces where your laughter used to linger, and let the echoes of you fill the hollow hours.” In English, we say: “I don’t know how to let go.” But in poetry, we say: “I carry you in my chest like a stone— heavy, unyielding, and carved with the sharp edges of what once was.” In English, we say: “I feel lost.” But in poetry, we say: “The compass of my heart spins wildly now, its needle drawn to places it can no longer call home.” In English, we say: “I wish it were different.” But in poetry, we say: “I water the garden of could-have-beens with tears, waiting for flowers that refuse to bloom.” In English, we say: “You hurt me.” But in poetry, we say: “You planted thorns in my chest with hands I once trusted, and now every breath feels like an apology I shouldn’t owe.” In English, we say: “I wanted to stay.” But in poetry, we say: “I lingered at the edge of your world, a star burning quietly, unnoticed in your vast, indifferent sky.” In English, we say: “I’m trying to move on.” But in poetry, we say: “I untangle your name from my veins each morning, only to find it woven into my dreams again at night.” In English, we say: “I’ll be okay.” But in poetry, we say: “I gather the shattered pieces of myself like broken glass, knowing someday, even scars can catch the light.” — Larson Langston #poetry #grownostr

Is anyone here knowledgeable about Traditional Chinese Medicine? I’d be interested in seeing more posts about that. #herbalism #herbs #TCM #grownostr

#nostrbiblestudy We’ve completed the book of Luke! It was a great start to a wonderful journey. I’d like us to read Acts next. What do you think? No matter what, we’ll be starting a new book this Tuesday at 8 pm New York time, so if you haven’t joined before, it’s an ideal time!

I had a #meme backlog! If something made you laugh, post a meme~

Something that's been on my mind for a little while: Women who pursue interests, occupations, and roles that some consider masculine are often accused by detractors of "wanting to be men." This is a straw man.  All most of these women really want is to not be held back from being themselves.  And if women are interested in and capable of doing masculine things, how exclusively masculine are those things, really?  (And why does it matter?) People who are prescriptive with gendered behavior often claim that their way is natural.  If it's so natural, why are they so triggered when people ignore it? They punish authenticity in the name of authenticity, which is just wild to me. #masculinity #femininity #feminism #genderroles #women #men#thoughtstr #grownostr
