Control

Control

I had a dream

I was learning to drive

The steering in their hand

The accelerator under their foot

Only the illusion of driving under my control

“You try on your own”, I was told

So I gird up to master the wheel

When I see I’m not taking the road I want to at the speed I wish to,

I look down

The steering in their hand

The accelerator under their foot

Only the illusion of driving under my control

The deception goes on till what feels like ages

My mind starts to rot from disuse

My arms almost give up from pretending to steer

My mouth is tired from asking to let go

So I swerve

I swerve a dangerous left without a warning

Just to see if it breaks the monotony

Tumblr — Your Happy Place

May is Mental Health Month, and we want to celebrate the Happy Place you create here on Tumblr. In fact, 90% of you said you spend time on Tumblr better than on other platforms. That’s all thanks to 🥁YOU🥁!: the creators, rebloggers, and community members—everyone who is cultivating inspiration, entertainment, and making Tumblr feel like home each day.

This year, you will find a new weekly theme and writing prompts powered by our partners @dayone-app. We want to get you thinking, journaling, and improving your mental wellbeing.

Let’s kick it off with: ☮️PEACE☮️. With just a pen and paper, a keyboard, or a touchpad, our daily journaling prompts can help you find a place for the noise and buzz that fills your mind each day. It may not seem like much, but journaling has been proven to benefit mental wellbeing and boost your mood. After all, small changes can sometimes make a big difference.

So join the fun this Mental Health Month by utilizing our daily prompts! We would also love you to share your PEACE-themed mood boards using the tag #your happy place, so we can find and share your contributions. We hope you’ll find #your happy place with us—because when wellness is everything, all is well. Peace out ✌✌

What a beautiful planet 🌎✨

Participate, preserve and protect together

Happy Earth Day, happy Friday~

Wonderfully created 💙✨

Brittle

Oh my heart, brittle as the winter air

Frigid to feeling yet delicate to words

A countenance of icy expression

Yet, a soul melting at sight of love

Piercing gaze and biting wind

Dissonant feelings and desires

Brittle as the winter air

I yearn for the joy of the season

I relish the dreariness too

A season to look forward to

A month to look back in too

Ring in the new year

The final moments of this time are an eternity of memory

I hope this season brings you all peace and wondrous celebrations.

Merry Christmas! ❃.✮:▹◃:✮.❃
