kerina - adrianne lenker, buck meek

Sweetest Kerina, give me a sign Still haven't seen you Been calling you all the time Calling you all the time Caught in the turning, losing the light But I've learned to believe you When you say it'll be just fine You say it'll be just fine Let me know reasons why we change Why our bodies are more than just breath and veins Yeah, I wonder what remains Past the forest and borders and pocket change Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Wind doesn't blow, baby, just 'cause I want it to Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh You don't want me, honey, just 'cause I wanted you Caught in the turning, losing my mind Well, I lose what I'm learning When I'm calling you all the time But you say it'll be just fine Let me know reasons why we change Why our bodies are more than just breath and veins Yeah, I wonder what remains Past the forest and borders and pocket change Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Wind doesn't blow, baby, just 'cause I want it to Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh You don't want me, honey, just 'cause I wanted you

van morrison (lyrics with notes)

And I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue And I'm conquered in a car seat Not a thing that I can do I may go crazy Before that mansion on the hill I may go crazy Before that mansion on the hill But my heart keeps beating faster And my feet can't keep still And all the little girls rhyme something On way back home from school And all the little girls rhyme something On the way back home from school And the leaves fall one by one And call the autumn time a fool Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied Every, every, every time I try to speak My tongue gets tied Every time I try to speak And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree I think I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine Poster's Note: This is where the narrator suddenly begins to feel optimistic Wait a minute, yonder come my lady Rainbow ribbons in her hair Yonder come my lady Rainbow ribbons in her hair Six white horses and a carriage She's returning from the fair Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby Well, I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue Oh yes, I am I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue, oh And I'm conquered in a car seat And I'm looking straight at you Way up on, way up on Way up on, way up on, way up on Way up on, way up on, way up on Way up on, way up on, way up on Way up on To the avenue of trees Keep walking down In the wind and the rain, darling You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby So young and bold, 14 year old Poster's Note: ... Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Ooh, yeah

flowers never bend with the rainfall

by Simon & Garfunkel “No matter if you're born To play the king or pawn For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow So my fantasy becomes reality And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end And flowers never bend with the rainfall” Up until last year I couldn‘t wait to be an old lady so that I could just remember my life instead of having to actually live it. This song helped me get over that with it’s sort of hopeful negativity. Like, my life’s going to be whatever it is and I don’t have to force it into any specific shape.

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
