not a good writer, i promise
i spent this year as a ghost literally, this time last year i was nervously joking about kissing your lips, and i might miss you like hell but please show me where exactly i signed up for this, this time last year he was alive and at the time i blamed him for ruining my life, but he did nothing in comparison to you, oh gods i wish i knew the way out of this mess it was so simple this time last year, i knew my place, i knew i had a place, your warm embrace and a small apartment - it was settled on all but paper back then, and now the thought of living in the same town, hell, the same building as you is a thought i dearly dread where did we go wrong, was it my needy voice, did my hand hold too tightly onto yours, if so im sorry it's just that you were my purpose, now im just spinning in circles like a lion in a cage, scared, lost, enraged, you ****** me over good and proper yet id still cling to you if i had the chance i thought he was the one to ruin me once and for all, i thought you'd probably be the only person who'd never let go of me, but would you look at this, you broke me and the guilt linked back to him's the only thing i see day and night, see, now i have to live to prove he wasn't right, i have to live to keep his memory alive - instead of live to feel you breathing by my side i spent this year as a ghost, the ghost of some blind fool who trusted you to stay. id die before apologizing once again, ive said im sorry one too many times (the word has lost its sense) and what's the point in being sorry when i still betrayed you, when i still put him in an early grave by saying who i am, im sorry sorry to no end but im still who's to blame for this, im sorry that i killed him as im sorry i dismissed what we had, i was being greedy - nothing new, those unworthy of their lives will always aim for robbing others of their happiness, i took both yours and mine with just a line, im sorry, im so sorry, i shouldn't be alive you were the prettiest flower i had ever seen, of course id be a pig, of course i wouldn't stick to simply seeing, please don't think ill of me if you do think at all, and lastly thanks for this, i probably needed to spend this year alone

rivers calm me down
listen to chopin and mahler eat instant noodles stitch your feelings away on an old pair of jeans wear sunglasses appreciate the fact that people like donatella versace have spent their lives creating clothes for people like me and you rewatch the tigger movie bake a whole cake and eat it yourself or go on the street and feed strangers tell the girl on the bus purple definitely is her color change your hairstyle draw or scratch your anger away call a distant friend ask your little sister what her day was like walk around your neighbourhood at 12 am and make up stories about what people are doing embrace chocolate as your lord and savior remind yourself you no longer look like you did in 6th grade be grateful you have what you have and be grateful you don't have it as bad as some do remember that every time you thought you couldn't go on, you did understand that you don't need anybody to approve you never forget that you have about 25 billion white blood cells in your body who are protecting you with their lives be happy for that couple you saw in the park pet any animal you see, animals are breathing antidepresants get more sleep don't say "it could be worse", this brings bad luck; but be glad it's not, after all

some things that help when you're sad
1. you are your worst enemy and your best friend. nobody can hate you as much as you can hate yourself, and nobody can love you as much as you can love yourself. do whatever you want with this information. 2. don't hate yourself because you started smoking for a stupid reason. the world's brightest minds come to you to ask you for a light when you share a sin. 3. don't put scars where he touched you, no matter how rough his hands were and how fragile your skin. 4. you do not deserve the pain the world has ****** upon you, but neither does anyone, darling. bear your pain with pride, that's the only way to win. 5. go to as many concerts as you can, and take pictures. trust me, you won't see the band in the blurred image, but you will see yourself shouting at the top of your lungs and being alive, and this is a feeling you really ought to remember. 6. don't forget to take a break every other day. you're going through some tough **** chill. 7. if a little kid asks you to play with it, try to do so. they all are eager to grow up, and when they do and regret it like hell, they'll have it easier if they remember a grown-up being a child with them. it'll remind them they still are kids. it'll remind you. 8. cooking is a great thing to do. make a pie when he's not calling and eat your feelings away. then make a pizza when you've had enough of him. then make some more cake cause you're awesome and you deserve it. a kitchen is a sacred place and what you do there is magic. do it more often. 9. if you don't like doing something, don't do it - or at least do it in a more comfortable way. i'm not saying drop out of school, but hey, why not? you live your life, and you at least have the right to make the mistakes that you want to make. 10. if you really wanted to kiss her, you would. think about that. 11. and if you really loved her, her saying no would mean no. 12. sun is the answer to most problems. go to the beach. get some tan. eat icecream. dive. there's a huge chance you'll feel better. 13. you are not a mistake, and you are not the worst person in your family, your school, or the world. you are a miracle. now shut up about failing in physics, not all of us are meant for physics. life goes on, no matter how you do at school, who you shouldn't have dated or how your hair looked back in sixth grade. seriously. 14. be quiet when you pass by graveyards. 15. tequila is not your friend. orange juice is. pour ***** in it if you wish, but trust me, you don't want that hangover. 16. do whatever makes you feel precious, and do it often enough to finally understand you just are. 17. remember that you won't lose your value as long as you believe you haven't.
