"they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
which is true.
except…
when absence is eradicated and the heart is once again fused into its counterpart,
an inexplicable feeling of closeness and elation occurs.
once mundane tasks appear significant and unreal.
every touch, whisper, and heartbeat is indescribable… shiver-inducing.
love is no longer text on a computer screen but sensations on fingertips and lovebites on skin.
the world was never sad it seems…times were never tough.
but when this temporary safe haven nears its end, reality comes crashing - thrashing, really.
once more, touch is replaced with screen and whispers replaced with wavering signals.
eyes shut, you hold onto the memories that keep you sane, while also driving you deeper into madness."

memories of you appear sporadically,
bright flashes of your smile,
repeating loops of your laugh i loved so much
the smell of your skin in the morning,
the way you’d dance - moving your shoulders every which way
memories of you are never forgiving.
like how you weren’t.
they bombard my senses,
momentarily blinding my disdain for you,
attempting to transport me to a time i’m always so sure i’ve forgotten
but i haven’t.
memories of you creep up on me like the sun rising in the morning
they seem inevitable.

"And kid, you’ve got to love yourself. You’ve got wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You’ve got to sit next to the man at the train station who’s reading your favorite book and start a conversation. You’ve got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you’ve got to wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You’ve got to stop taking everything so goddam personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You’ve got to compliment someones crooked brows at an art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. You’ve got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that won’t matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday. You’ve got to stop worrying about what you’re going to tell her when she finds out. You’ve got to stop over thinking why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. You’ve got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. Fuck it. Love yourself, kiddo. You’ve got to love yourself."

Here’s what politics looks like if you take out the men
Out of the 22 people running for president in 2016, only two of them are women. Elle U.K. is confronting this imbalance directly through the magazine’s #MoreWomen campaign, launched on Oct. 1 to celebrate women’s global power. Their eye-opening launch video shows how easy it is to make full rooms seemingly sparse.
