HIATUS:

Unfortunately, due to the death of a friend and personal health concerns, there will be no TWF next week. I leave today to attend the interstate memorial service, and even when I return, it's likely I'll be doing a mass delete of my inbox just to reduce my own stress levels. If there's anything you think I need to read or see, please leave it in a comment on this post. Thank you, and once again, I apologise to those who look forward to this feature each week.

like it was nothing.
We are not asking you to understand,
we are just asking you to listen,
hold your breath and hear the creaking
of our bones beneath the weight.
We are your should-be heroes.
We are your three a.m. miracles-
We make it (almost) every time.
We are not asking for a pat on the back,
but you should know that if we had a gold star
for every time we saw a sunrise
we never wanted to see again,
we'd be brilliant.
We will not repeat your lies
as we choke down bitter truths
with our morning pills or purging fingers.
Everything is not okay and everything
does not happen for a reason and
