As soon as you begin to ask the question, Who loves me?
you are completely screwed, because
the next question is How Much?
and then it is hundreds of hours later,
and you are still hunched over
your flowcharts and abacus,
trying to decide if you have gotten enough.
This is the loneliest job in the world:
to be an accountant of the heart.
It is late at night. You are by yourself,
and all around you, you can hear
the sounds of people moving
in and out of love,
pushing the turnstiles, putting
their coins in the slots,
paying the price which is asked,
which constantly changes.
No one knows why.

All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe
We all know what that means: it’s time to harvest the wild tags!
I’ve been tagged by thebalefulprimal (https://www.deviantart.com/thebalefulprimal) angelserum (https://www.deviantart.com/angelserum) LaurenIpsome (https://www.deviantart.com/laurenipsome) and WhereIsTheSpoon (https://www.deviantart.com/whereisthespoon) These have been aging in my inbox long enough - get ready for some crazy tea!

1. You have to post these rules (Done, you didn’t say anything about messing with them tho… )
4. Each person has to share 10 perfectly ridiculous things about them.
8. Answer the 10 questions asked to you and do 10 sit-ups
3. Choose 10 people for a game of poker.
2. You have to tag 10 people whose middle name starts with ̶
Got your nose
And imma keep it, have a little feature instead!
Thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing, how are you beautiful people?
Before we start I want to give a shout-out to SECRET-NINJA-SUPER-M (https://www.deviantart.com/secret-ninja-super-m) for making me this:
(Yes, I'm still not over the awesomeness )
Pssst...If you got to the bottom of this you can have your nose back.
Not quite a goodbye
You are tired
e.e. cummings
You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.
Come with me, then,
And we’ll leave it far and far away–
(Only you and I, understand!)
You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and–
Just tired.
So am I.
But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart–
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.
Ah, come with me!
I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
Blinded by Rainbows
So, I have been featured on The Ladies of Lit, the other day along with some awesome people, and since it’s actually a big deal for me (for real, if it wasn’t impractical I would periodically faint ) I wanted to say thank you so much to the wonderful LadyLincoln (https://www.deviantart.com/ladylincoln) :heart: and celebrate by sharing some art with y’all!
Also a big shout out goes to SueJO (https://www.deviantart.com/suejo) :heart: she makes beautiful, heartfelt features journals that deserve all the attention!
Thank you for reading! :heart:
