I tried to carve how I felt about you out of my heart for hours before I remembered you had stolen it. I tried to erase every memory I had of you from my mind before I remembered you had chiseled your name into the walls of my brain. I tried to scrub my skin of you before I remembered you live in every pore. I tried.

Being inbetween a rock and a hard place isn't a problem. It's an opportunity and it's called life.

A lot of people feel that if they drag themselves around the world and see the monuments everyone keeps telling them they should see, then they will be cultured, understanding, and perhaps even find some sort of new self. What they tend to forget is that you could see the world ten times over but if you didn't change your mindset before the journey then you'll just be the same you in a prettier place. Journey inside before you journey out there.

**** expectations. Whatever you want to do, do it. Your age, gender, ****** preference, race, and beliefs shouldn't affect the path society lets you carve. Do it because you want to, not because society, or even those around you, want you to. They won't be there at the end of the day. You will.

And the thing is that it just kind of creeps up on you. Between the late night conversations, harmless giggles and sweaty palms. You find yourself sitting there, looking at them, and realising you don't ever want them to leave.
