Gosh, this silence kills me. Call me crazy but I can perfectly hear faint whispers of all my past mistakes. ****--I keep reminding myself that my past doesn't define me. Surely, the past that I am not fond of was a consequence of a ghost. That ghost was and is me but not the better version of me that is attempting desperately to stop ******* up. I am forced to live with all ghosts of myself whether I fess up to them or not. Somebody please save me from what I am becoming, I'm so scared. I don't know what happened-- I swear not too long ago I was a not well understood, ***** 17 year old. Then, ugh. Man, life suddenly hits hard and it *****. I want to go back in time- before I knew you existed, before my heart felt so heavy, before I was so bored that I would run back to anyone not to be lonely. Speaking of loneliness: This cold, sickening late May Chicago weather makes me wish I wasn't so alone. Seems impossible that my life is going to fall into place at this point. Not trying to be dramatic- just don't know how to not let the people haunting me in my past affect my relationships with others I have yet to encounter. I wish I could go back in time to my old self and hold my hand. My last wish is impossible of course, yet I can pretend. So here I go pretending I know everything and I'm just going to say this once and for all..............ITS OK.
