This isn’t the first time the doctor can’t tell what’s wrong with me.

Someone Give Me a Map To Georgia

January 5, 2019January 28, 2019

Someone give me a map to red wine, and khinkali, to peaches and fried chicken, or that Ray Charles song everyone loves singing to me.

I wrote some poems for SingPoWriMo in 2018 so this is an archive of them.

  • I have to preface this by saying that I am as okay as I can be, but it’s going to be a melancholic piece of writing I’m putting up simply because of its subject matter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this thing I wrote most recently, I’m bringing myself back a year or so, and showing you what it’s like when something that’s supposed to be sacred and intimate and idk fun (I guess?) ‘causes you pain instead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not just physical pain, but also emotional pain that somehow I’m still carrying with me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It shows that part of me: my worries and anxieties.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The doctors have no clue what’s going on, and neither do I. Even now I can’t tell if it’s #endo or something else, and that scares me. (Some gynae please tell me what is up with my body, thanks.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve talked openly about this with friends and family (and even strangers I met on the internet), but I always felt like I didn’t dare to put it in writing or to put it online. I think it’s partly because I don’t like putting parts of me in my writing, be it fiction, poetry, or even non-fiction. It’s uncomfortable, that’s for sure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t like writing about myself because it makes me feel like I’m somehow more insignificant? Strange, I know. I always feel like it’s petty to write about myself, but I know it’s inevitable for yourself to be in your writing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The other part is that I didn’t want to be known as that girl who has some weird issues the doctors can’t even fix.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I’ll be brave because I still think it’s something that needs to be talked about.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re struggling with something, anything at all, you should know you’re loved and not alone. I think that’s what putting parts of myself in my writing can do. I think that’s why people read, and why people watch tv and films and relate to the characters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, if you’ve made it to the end of this long post, I actually made this just to say I have linked it in the bio. Sending you lots of love. 💛 //⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #spilledwords #spilledthoughts #prosepoetry #prosem #writingofinstagram #writersociety #georgiajalan
