Riding Bikes

Going off medication is like riding a bike. The doctor holds tight to my handlebars and lowers my dosage. The training wheels are off, and oh hey, look at me go! It's like flying but not, and I'm doing so well but then there's a horrible accident and I'm somehow upside down at the bottom of the sea with both wheels still spinning. "Help," I say, and my doctor pats my head, puts a band-aid on my knee, and writes a note on my chart. I've balanced by myself for months at a time, but I always end up hitting a fucking tree or falling off a cliff or something equally catastrophic because I am a catastrophic person. Except that is an exaggeration

compulsive liar.

once i asked you your favourite colour, and you said, "the brown of your eyes," so i put in one green contact and told everyone that i came out of the womb as a factory defect, half-priced, damaged goods. - sometimes i am from canada and sometimes i am from england and sometimes i am from spain. i've carefully tempered my accents and plotted out my stories with yellow and purple coloured pencils on index cards. my origin changes like the seasons. "why do you lie to everyone?" you ask. "why not?" i reply. - i wear nametags that read "alicia" and "liana" and "samantha," because i want to know how it feels to be someon

stop ruining autumn.

listen: fall makes me think of leaving and of apple cider, though i never liked apple cider. but i liked the idea of it. listen: two years ago i met a boy as fragile as dead leaves who called me his little spring girl. (i'd always liked autumn the best.) he kissed the two soft dimples on the small of my back and told me helikedme helovedme hewantedme. and oh, by the way, "everything good must come to an end." listen: on our one year anniversary we picked out two pumpkins and i drew elephants on them for us to carve. he cut his out so aggressively that it lost its shape. lopped off tusks and broken trunks became just a large, jagged ho

My deviantART Story by zurisu, journal

My deviantART Story

Aug 7, 2014

My current (and the only account I've ever been active on) deviantART account is 7 years old, which means I've been on dA for half of its now 14 years. It's the site I consider my internet home. Even though I make use of other sites like Tumblr, deviantART is where my loyalty and affinity is. I did so much growing up on this site. So much of my teen angst is hidden back behind pages of deviations, scraps, and journal entries. I met some of my best friends here. A big chunk of my life has played out on this green website, for better or for worse. Some of the most important conversations I've had haven't been through emails--they've been throug

An Update

0 min read

Is anyone else still kicking around on here? No matter how many fresh starts I undergo, DeviantArt remains unchanged. You can find my latest fresh starts on my webpage, Facebook page, or twitter. I'm going to bring some of my old work back into the light of day. Come say hi and tell me if the sky still looks the same after all of these years.

I've rewatched you in hopes you pop in again.
