Kelsey Danielle, “I Was Told to Write an About Me and This is What Happened” (via commovente)
(via traintosurvive)
Each time I’m asked to tell about myself, I find myself starting the same way: “My name is Kelsey and I’m nineteen..”
but what I’d really like to say is:
“My name means island of the ships but once
I found a translation that said I’m a burning shipwreck-
not a burning ship but a ship that has caught fire
after the wreckage and well, I’d say that’s more fitting.”I’ve learned that people don’t have time for about me’s.
They need two things: a name and an indication you’re someone special.The doctors, they want facts not details.

“I hang on to fistfuls of poetry like loose change in my pockets,
and I keep waiting for the day that the world turns upside down
so I can swim with the stars.
I’m not afraid of darkness, it’s a loneliness I can empathize with it.
It’s the blackholes like cigarette burns inside of me that get troublesome.
I walk through graveyards and read the dashes between years,
each a story I’ll never know. Sometimes I create my own.”No wonder none of us know who we are anymore.
For about fifteen years I was quite an avid collector of memorabilia from the film Labyrinth, and now I would like to pass some of those collectibles on to other fans. The first item I am giving away is an unopened 250-piece promotional jigsaw puzzle (12” x 12”) from 1986 (and it even comes…
