Quotes

Eugeniahas quotedlast year
A truth
you did not want
to know
can rot & grow mold
in the pit
of your stomach,
can sour
every taste
you’ve ever had,
can cast a stench
so bad you forget
you’ve ever known
a sweet thing.
Ximena Ahuactzin Floreshas quoted2 years ago
But I don’t know how to tell Mami that this year,

it’s not about feeling unready,

it’s about knowing that this doubt has already been confirmed.
Ximena Ahuactzin Floreshas quoted2 years ago
Sometimes it feels

all I’m worth is under my skirt

and not between my ears.
