Are my Aussies asleep yet?

So right, I went to see this guy at work, who apparently has something called a standing desk. I don't know - some new technology for a healthy lifestyle and sh*t.

The women here literally *swoon* over him, ok?

He doesn't make me hyperventilate so I was put in charge of going to check out "his standing desk"

DUDES...

He doesn't make me hyperventilate, but I think he just did.

Anyway. I'm back now.

^^ it gave me the creeps and I've shivered reading those lines. It is so true and heartbreaking. When you feel that you're pressed against the corner and you have no way out , you are so helpless. Thank God I don't have to go down that road.

@Animals, this is great Suds!

And I love these lines:

"you can see their teeth, and you don't run
instead, you offer up your neck, your thighs, your arms
to the ones who burn like cigarettes on skin
to the ones who never apologize
to the ones who draw blood like it is their calling
and it doesn't feel good, but it is what you know
what you've seen, what you've come to expect
without blinking"

W*F is a standing desk??

wait. is it a really really tall table where people stand and do their work?

so they can jog on one spot or something

DOES HE LOOK LIKE ONE OF THOSE HOT BUSINESS MEN

WITH THE DARK HAIR AND THE EYES AND THE SUITS AND THE f**kING VOICE?

Yes, something like that. You stand all day and work.

Apparently it's great for a$$-reduction 🤣

Totally hot, though I didn't really see it before.

And our dress code is pretty relaxed here, so the suits really only come out on important days - it's too hot to wear suits everyday haha!

Sanam's pov. yay!

canteen heart.

If you need to leave
do so quickly
your love is leaking
and it's leaving his name
behind your footsteps
it wont be long before
he finds you
all the holes
in your canteen heart
keep going
the desert isn't nearly
as empty as
he has made you

This poem is a metaphor of what Aahil is doing to Sanam, what she thinks he is doing to her. She cant help but fall for him, but she doesn't want to because she knows that Aahil means danger, and danger means something worse.

So she's leaking all her love out in his name, and he's made her heart emptier than the desert plains, because she doesn't know if he loves her back.

Like, her heart is a canteen with holes it in, and all the water (love) is leaking out. She wants to leave quickly because otherwise all the water (love) will leak out and she'll end up with nothing. And the empty thing means that her canteen (heart) is getting emptier than the desert because of him.

I really hope that made sense because I cant do any better than that.

Sorry for the errors and stuff.

^^^Hey Suds, it's fabulous 👏.
