When I reap what I sow, I’ll simply say: Contrapasso

Read this in chunks between my hellish day's tasks. Made me feel like Heaven is at least a graspeable concept, if tied to truth.

You're a poet! (Which is both heaven and hell, I can attest.)

Hi, first time reader of yours. This one moved me. I read it twice over and I think I need to read it again. So much to take from this, but hell as comfortability and unhappiness as the floor really resonated with me. How easy and how hellish it is to fall back into the same pattern again and again. Thank you for reminding me of the way out.

Thank you for this. I have been having a similar experience of wanting that perfect, angelic communication with the people I love but feeling so clogged up and closed off when I do try to talk to them. It does bring some relief to know I am not alone in that feeling. Maybe I don’t need perfect articulation maybe I can just say it hurts
