nookncranny's Diaryland Diary

if only

i watched someone's feelings get hurt last night. this girl, a might tipsy, and notorious for a sharp toungue, told another student how we all saw him as "so repressed." i could see him emotionally staggering backwords. i tried to pour balm over the situation. "i don't see things that way at all." i fumbled to catch the pieces of his heart spilling all over the floor. but i'm afraid it was too late. the words had already etched marks on him.

if only she knew how hard he's been struggling...today, i find myself genuinely angry at this girl's insensitivity.

if only we could learn to simply overide crass, unkind opinions. and adore ourselves for the sensitive souls that we are. but then, there's the rub. to be available to hurt, even if only for a moment, is all part of the sensitivity package, isn't it.(?)

and in unrelated news, i have fallen hopelessly in love with her illustrations. her colors are so juicy they sing through a blanket of varnish. she has a portfolio at this site.
