California world

Weightless part 5 and 6

Cry alone

Thank you for being those songs that take me into my 19th birthday.

i feel thankful

in the midst of feeling frustration, anger, and depression

i think two things can exist at the same time, even if they're at odds

maybe that's the neutrality i've started to embellish

it is a weird feeling

being alive at ages over 18

i had little faith i would be alive right now

but i am

and there's pain

but there is also

an appreciation and an adventure

what i didn't think i could've had

is tangible and i'm existing

i am alive

and i didn't kill myself.
