it was never meant to last then confusion isn’t weakness, it’s curiosity refusing to die. the idea of loving someone is a bold one the idea of living without someone to hold is a bolder one i do not wish to be alone i must who gets to tell me when to let go of something i wish to cling to him i wish to save myself the heartache and only give the love that i have i will be hurt again and again this way fearing the heartache as a way of life did you lie when you told me you would never forget me, when you said you would always tell me, when you said you wanted more of me. are you lying when you tell me you can’t feel anything, when you say you can’t be with me, when you say nothing.

you should go
Unfortunately, i am falling for him Gloriously, i am felled for most Hopelessly, i am enthralled, and i wish for more Deliciously, i want to know him, better than he knows himself Amazingly, i will not hold myself together this time.

we should go!
i will not prey over meaningless times spent grasping at empty air over what used to be the best day of our lives. it’s not good for me. but in all honesty, what is. was someone supposed to tell me the difference between worthwhile and frivolous? a seminar i missed maybe? does it matter? because time spent without worry of its worth is well spent. time spent around those you love is well spent. time spent laughing, crying, creating has to be well spent. time spent exploring cities and wildernesses you will never see again is well spent, with someone you’ll never see again is well spent. it’s a decision to enjoy it and to live those meaningless times without the regret that it wasn’t productive or useful to you. that makes it well spent. why am i here if not to waste time in the morning making a coffee i’ll forget to drink later. only because the ritual wakes me up.

okay you win
spreading kindness is the worst it’s not met with kindness reciprocated it’s not a divine improvement it does not make you feel good i am living in an unchecked system positive feedback loop with no threshold to knock it back to where its supposed to be i am hopeless at the aim of my life without my kindness i am nothing and with it i have nothing

wasted
i am craving someone to see see me and care about the things that i care about and to love the things that i write and to tell me that i am worthy of something more than what i am i want to be dissected i dont want to ask for it every time i dont want to cry about it anymore do you think my letter will fix the problem? that words could mean anything more than something read and forgotten? does it matter anymore than it did before do you even care? do you even know my name? i am cursed to be this way to want more than im given to require love in the most beautiful way to see the world in its smallest of beings to observe and think more than someone should ever be able to you are my muse but you are the biggest part of my hurt i keep telling myself how long do i let someone hit me before i grab their hand and tell them i deserve better because what if better is not there? what if i only get this chance to let someone into my head what if i deserve this? i am disgusting and no one is telling me

we are all cowards
Do you know what it’s doing to me? Do you know what i think? Are you listening? That which I am successful at I cannot do Unknown to those naked eyes see me outperforming last years body. god its unsustainable. How can you tell me You love me, care for me When you don’t care to see the inside of me you don’t wish to explore that by which I live I want to be dissected My brain is an active volcano Throwing lava bombs nearby with the friendliest flowers to be destroyed The pressure pushes my magma around and I fall In too deep you’ll only watch thank god you’ll watch At least you’re there

My light blue pen
There's nothing better than an emotional band. when they knock themselves over with the words they wrote for the people they love or hate. what drives that? who do we think we are? writing the same things over and over until our hands bleed. The new year is too cold for me and if i'm honest I don't know if i'll last the winter. I feel like i'm lost in the woods, not a figurative feeling, but I am drudging through the snow on my way somewhere I don't know how to get to. In more recent news, I have lasted the winter and i'm doing great. so ill include something a wrote the last time we made it out if winter, because sometimes it helps. Theres Like an Actual Euphoria Comes with finding it again Like taking off pounds of weight Diving into a cold pool Or a hot one Reaching the top of a tree Finishing a book Jumping off a high rock Letting go of your air Giving the reins to someone else The relief is indescribable I long for it It’s all going to be ok
