"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom."
― Vladimir Nabokov

A collection of poems I wrote during class, sleepless nights, coffee runs and nostalgic road trips.
I think the title's pretty self-explanatory.
WARNING: May include graphic content, profanity, expressive depictions of negative feelings, romantic references, and, most importantly, triggering content. Where there is possibly triggering content, it's usually followed up by something symbolizing strength and making it past that- but if you don't think you can make it through it, please feel free to skip over that poem or to message me. I'm always willing to talk, and you can probably figure I've been there and I understand.
