Meeting him was everything
@B A my school has an event for the “voice of the hour” and he had a signing I went up and he asked “are you a writer” and I told him to look at page 20 and he read my work and asked “are you a hugger” and he hugged me. He signed my book too 🥺I send good vibes anyone who loves his words as much as I to meet such a gentle soul.🤍🖤
If you want me in your life
Put me there
I should not have to fight for a spot
Preach! You speak truth.❤️
This brought back emotions built up..🖤
The result of romanticising sadness for too long: being uncomfortable with happiness
Yes but also... people kind of hate happy people, they resent it sometimes because they tell themselves it can't be theirs, that happiness is finite and you having some means someone else doesn't, or worse yet; that it was taken away from someone... I mean this isn't really how happiness works at all but it doesn't matter because people tell themselves it is and live their lives resenting those who break free from their own prisons...
Had the honor of taking a poetry course with Kaveh at Purdue, an amazing and inspiring man!
Legend!
kaveh joon, u have at least one fighter by your side with me...prbly even millions more & all r walking along the same shore, all being dizzy of steady thinking about what am i meant to be.
u have talent...keep it up, don‘t give up.
Very creative language, I like his comedic timing as well.
I get romanticising sadness isn't good, but people kind of hate happy people. We resent it sometimes because we tell ourselves it can't be ours, that happiness is finite and you having some means someone else doesn't, or worse yet; that it was taken away from someone...

Speaking as someone who loves cake and eating it... But hey, my family is toxic and full of narcissists and most of my friends have c-ptsd xD
