I get jealous really easily but not like an angry vengeful jealous more like a really sad lonely jealous because everybody likes everybody more than they like me and I really really don’t blame them.
If a poem hasn’t ripped apart your soul; you haven’t experienced poetry.

Edgar Allan Poe (via wordsnquotes) |
in Sad Girls you mention Saturns return and what was your changing moment when you turned 27?
27 was a difficult year for me. I didn’t know it at the time but I think I was having some kind of break down. Everything around me was going up in flames. I lost people who I had expected would always be in my life. People I no longer speak to, whom I still love and miss. Someone very close to me passed away and once you stop being numb to it, grief has a ripple effect. It never goes away no matter how many years pass.
Now I’ve had some time and distance to process it all, I can see how necessary it was for me to go through. The year was like a forest fire. But it had to happen because the seeds of my then future (now present day) needed that fire in order to grow, to regenerate.
My Saturn Return was the year I lost so much but found my voice again. It was the year I found my words. And that was the beginning of finding out who I was.
I put it into Sad Girls in the off chance any of my readers would be going through what I did, at that particular astrological transit in their lives. And it would make some sense to them, the way it now does to me.
Much love, Lang xo
I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.
