Death does not scare me,
It is the means
And the ease with which it takes
That haunt.

- p. winter
you know when you feel like you’re the only one hurting and it’s like “oh cool am i supposed to pretend nothing happened and go about my day now” and then you just can’t focus on anything bc you’re using all your energy to pretend you’re not fighting the sad thoughts out of your head but since you can’t focus you can’t enjoy yourself so you just kinda sit there and stew in your own feelings staring at a plant while life happens right before your eyes and you know you should be able to just accept it and move on but you just wanna go to bed because you feel stupid for being the only one who cares but also hurt that nobody else cares but also glad that they’re doing ok but also sad that they’re ok with it yea anyway how are you doing today i’m doing great here’s a dramaticizing of the phrase “it’s not what you said it’s how you said it” pls enjoy
