I can't 🖤

“My art teacher used to say “don’t add the black paint until you’re ready for a finished product” and I never listened. So I painted with my black paint a little too soon, a little too much, a little too dark, a little too passionate, a little too addicted to the night, I always enjoyed the starry sky. My art teacher used to say “kiet, i know that you love her, i see it, you two are my favorite couple” and I never listened. So I broke her heart at night as she gripped her chest while I did, as she hid her heart while I bit, as she held her tongue while I kissed, as she ran from me, while I chased. I always enjoyed the lustful parts, but I miss the gentle parts more. My art teacher used to say “black is dominance, black is overwhelming, and black is torture, but black must be controlled” but I never listened. Because it never made much sense, I didn’t make much sense of anything except for her. I tried to make sense out of a human being, my human being. A lover, my lover, and you know what the truth is all about? People don’t make sense. Love has no sense of direction. People are chaotic. Love is chaos. People are nature’s kiss. Love, the lips. People are timeless. Love is timed. She was natural. I was the fucking disaster. There is a quote out there that goes, and you’ll know why people are named after storms, why hurricanes are named after girls and you know what? She wasn’t any of those things, I was. I was the earthquake that shook her buildings down and they crashed into her heart; that explains the cracks. I was the wildfire that burnt through her magical forest and the rabbit lost more time; that explains Alice in wonderland. I was the calm eye of the storm that had one sweet angle and 20 more reasons to fuck her over; my insides said I love you, but my outsides said I hate you that explains the obsession, this hopeless romantic poetry bullshit. I was a flood, and her eyes the land, her eyes the gates, her eyes the drowned city. I was the big bang, and her soul the many universes within universes, the many stars followed by comet showers, the wishing stars that never came true, the first time the moon met the sun, love at first sight, forever separated, the moon crashing into the sun, night and day never being one until dawn came and twilight clouds rained her name and my name was shot across the eons of lightyears and no one hears me scream in space except for her and she does care, but these type of blackholes suck up everything! They destroy everything, a still painting dripping with black paint and I wanted to love her and all of this time I thought that she was the black paint, but it was me, who was the paint. And I took all of her light, a black hole in space kissing the suns of my theory one last time, into the darkness they went and back to the darkness that they came from. And my art teacher used to say “don’t add the black paint until you’re ready for a finished product” I finally listened. So I let go of her a few days ago. I told myself that I needed to stop. Stop talking to her like she was the sunset we all adored and how her eyes meant the world, and if it meant that she’d wink butterflies into the pit of my stomach, I’d die as a self-imploding star. So I stopped myself from being more black paint, I crossed out her face with my own fingers and kissed her one last time. My art teacher used to say “because this black paint is undoing, you cannot paint over it with white, the black is so dense, it’s raw, it’s real it stops all hints of color under it over and over it. because this is art and art is life, art is poetry and art is love, because art is everything and anything” So I became the nights she had to sleep alone, so I became the nights I cried to sleep, so I became free from her love and I finally understood my art teacher, I finally understood my ex. “black paint is the purest color and lightest of color if used correctly with the right amount of care and tender.” add a little black with white and you’ll have grey. add a little black with red and you’ll have my bleeding heart. add a little black with blue and you’ll have her bruised lips. add a little black with yellow and you’ll have her eye colors. add a little black to my soul, and you’ll have lust. add a little black to my heart, and you’ll have her. And I could swear I heard my art teacher say “you’ll let go of her one day when you’re ready, you’ll add red over all of your paintings because they’ll remind you of her lips, it’ll be your favorite color, you’ll add blue over your roses because red has too much passion, it’s on fire and sometimes we have to appreciate the beauty of weirdness, poetry and art is weird, the best kind, you’ll add pale yellow for her skin tone and you’ll add dark, dark brown near lonely tree trunks because it’ll remind you of her eyes that cried every night because you didn’t know how to love, young kids finding slipped pants and unhooked bras more satisfying than adding black paint to solidify a relationship that could’ve been, and you’ll add your last drop, the finishing touch, you’ll be the black paint, and she’ll be the finished product.” and I finally listened. I finally listened to my art teacher. So I let you go, baby. The world is your canvas and I was the black paint. His lips your new black paint, and you, his unfinished product.”

— My art teacher used to say don’t add the black paint until you’re ready for it to be over, she was right. // k.c.

Happy New Year! It’s gotten a little quiet around here and I’m so sorry for disappearing in the middle of the carry on countdown without a word.

I’m sorry to all of you who have sent me a message and are still waiting for a reply - I promise I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

Autumn reads 💕

10 Books To Read This Autumn & Halloween

1. The Secret History’ by Donna Tartt

I think it’s fun to read campus novels during the fall and winter, and the twisty, murderous stylings of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History bring the perfect air of mystery to your fall reading lineup.

2. The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw

i read this myself in the summer I loved it and can’t wait to read it this Halloween with it’s theme of witches, a cursed town and death the story takes place in summer but to me it felt far more like fall then anything else, like walking in a old mystery.

3.The House of the Spirits By  Isabel Allende 

This family saga centers on the descendants of Clara del Valle, a Chilean woman whose psychic powers allows her to predict the misfortunes that will befall her family. This book was lyrical, magical, and at times frightening, as the author describes the horrors that followed them.

4. Harry Potter By J.K Rowling

I put this on the list last year but let’s face it, harry potter is one of those books you have to read at laset once a year and autumn is the best time with it’s witches and wizards, magic, spells, cats, and good vs bad it’s the perfect series for this time of the year.

5.The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Mara Dyer doesn’t know if she is crazy or haunted–all she knows is that everyone around her is dying. i read this series a few years ago and it’s stayed with me with it’s haunteding, beautiful, but also horror and mystery.

6. Night Film’ by Marisha Pessl

Unlike many of the other books on this list, Marisha Pessl’s Night Film is actually set during the fall. This mystery novel begins with a body discovered on an October night, a body that turns out to belong to the director of grisly cult films.

7.   A Small Revolution’ by Jimin Han

A Small Revolution blends the decidedly fall feeling of college romance with the tension of a horror-thriller. After taking a tour of 1980s South Korea with other college-bound Korean-Americans, Yoona returns to her studies with a romantic interest on the horizon and a kinship with that boy’s friend. But when a car crash kills one of her new acquaintances, Yoona lands in the sights of the other, who has grown delusional with grief. i’ve just put this on my tbr list and i can’t wait to read it, it sounds amazing.

8. Another Brooklyn’ by Jacqueline Woodson

In this semi-autobiographical novel, Brown Girl Dreaming author Jacqueline Woodson transports readers back in time and space to 1970s Brooklyn, where her protagonist, 11-year-old August, bonds and grows up with three other girls: Sylvia, Angela, and Gigi. The memory of Another Brooklyn captures fall’s retrospective nature, so be sure to get it on your nightstand before winter rolls around.

9. The Uninvited by Cat Winters

a masterfully crafted story of love, loss, and second chances. Set during the fear and panic of the Great Influenza of 1918, The Uninvited is part gothic ghost-story, part psychological thriller, perfect for those who loved The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield or The Vanishing by Wendy Webb. Twenty-five year old Ivy Rowan rises from her bed after being struck by the flu, only to discover the world has been torn apart in just a few short days. This was an amazing read. I didn’t expect much, but it blew me away. There are some really amazing twists and I have rushed through it.

10.   First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen

Lose yourself in Sarah Addison Allen’s enchanting world and fall for her charmed characters in this captivating story that proves that a happily-ever-after is never the real ending to a story. It’s where the real story begins.

11. The Witch’s Daughter by Paula Brackston

My name is Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, and my age is three hundred and eighty-four years. Each new settlement asks for a new journal, and so this Book of Shadows begins.. taking place in two time periods  one is today and other one we see through the main characters memories is 17th century.  this story is about a woman who lived in days when witches were hanged and who ended up being turned into a witch herself. Ever since the demon made her into a witch she has been sorta promised to him and he has been following her through the time. I have read a lot of Witch books and I have to say that this book is one of the best! It’s a perfect read for everyone who likes to be transported back to old magical times and away fantastic unique worlds. It really is a good piece of historical fiction! 

She is so beautiful.💕

Books are what keep me going so it's all worth it.💕
