When the honeymoon phase is over
the easiest and the hardest thing to write about is love. it is the most unique emotion a human can go through. everyone questions if love is real. if love is a feeling why don't they question if happiness is real? sadness? I believe love is a mixture of everything. the way you wake up in the morning, if you have a partner next to you or not, you can still feel love. It doesn't have to be between two beings. Although lovely, I find the most beautiful love in myself.

Love
I feel a rush A need To jump Jump back into myself Like I’m 12 again Splashing into the Atlantic For the first time Letting the saltwater Overtake my entire soul Not knowing what pure bliss was Until that moment I’m ready to feel that again No fear No doubts Just letting this wave Take hold of me And make me Knowingly better I lost myself For a while But I found me again With the help Of others around me Filling me With pure beauty And immense positivity I feel like I can take on anything I feel determined A drive A sense of self But more importantly happy.

How I always want to be (I feel a rush)
Pinot is my favorite. Three glasses later we talk about our aspirations and the future. One more glass turns into a 180 spin how have I not become good enough? I tell you things I want to learn but you say I should have learned them already. Another glass in. you tell me how great I am but the things I do daily make me not good enough for you how does that make sense? I understand you're older but there's a thing called balance, which you refuse to acknowledge. I curl up with an Ikea pillow in the guest bedroom, the closest thing I have for comfort. I guess I know now not to ask why you didn't get me flowers on Valentine's Day.

Flowers
I see a different world in his eyes, A world I want to indulge in But our laughter breaks the stare And I realize I just to hear This tune on repeat. The riddles he throws at me Makes my mind go blank, I'm too busy staring At the freckles on his face And wondering if he feels The same way about me. I shake my head trying To configure the lines he conveyed While I look down and study the bulging veins on the top of his hands and think of ways not to get hurt again.

I thought this was it.
It's only been 24 hours and the thing I miss most is your smell. Because I know that when that scent surrounds me, your arms are holding me tight and your lips are pressed against my forehead. There's acoustic music playing in the background and you smell of Dove soap, the same soap I have used every time to bathe since I was five. But it never smelled that good until I met you.

Smell.
you are the shots of ***** I wanted to take in order to feel a certain bliss; but I only feel the burning sensation down my throat, the same way it felt when you said you didn't love me.

It All Feels the Same
I don't want to know what this sad feeling is like anymore. The significance of it taking over my life. Does this mean anything at all? This black hole caving in the pit of my stomach. I can't be civil with myself. I don't want to know what this sad feeling is like anymore. I want to be more refined. I want to be close to those who are apparently close to me. I did everything for them but they feel nothing for me. Reality is here and I don't want to face it. I want to keep myself alive through my strengths. But I don't know what they are. I don't want to know what this sad feeling is like anymore.

Don't
Joseph, These past 3 years I have been seeing you and talking to you about the difficulties with my parents and being happy with myself. I told you about how I am not happy at college and I am trying to transfer schools. But I had some time to myself today and I realized that it’s not this school that I am unhappy with it is myself. I love being alone; spending time watching Netflix or just roaming around to new places, but then I become lonely. I do not know how to fully interact with others and that scares the **** out of me. I try to be myself but there’s this massive wall with which only alcohol can put a crack in that others can reach me to. Kate is the only one who has put the biggest crack as if she can poke her eye through the hole to see me, but I keep patching up each crack the best I can. I don’t know how to let others in and I don’t know if I want people to reach me. I feel like I need to go away for a while to a place where others feel the same as I do. I try to think of places to go to where I can find myself but I keep thinking of staying in hospitals because the only other people that feel this way are ******* crazy. I don’t feel like I’m insane but I need help. Best regards, Kristen

Letter to my Therapist
My favorite times with my mom Were when she'd give me raspberry kisses, And whirl me in the air as if I were a million dollars. Now when I see her it's just empty wine glasses, And making wishes that money was at the bottom of the glass.
