Sometimes you have to give up and shut up.
Sometimes being free doesn't mean throwing your secrets into the world
if anything, it's more freeing when no one knows anything about you.
Sometimes you have to learn to sit down and stop dealing with it
stop rolling around in a constant whirl of emotion
stop acting like everything is life or death.
Some people just don't get it. Life keeps going on, until it doesn't.
It doesn't have to be a constant war. Sometimes
you don't have to chase love until you run yourself into the ground.
Sometimes you don't have to break your own heart
because someone else didn't care enough to try.
People aren't made from always or never, from completely
or lack thereof- people are made of compromises,
of yes then and no now, of maybe someday and that's enough.
Sometimes you have to give up and learn that letting go
is not the end. It doesn't ****. It's what happens when you grow up.
