You can't make a wish off of a mascara clumped eyelash.
Using tears and chocolate to make up for the absence of people in your life.
You are woven into your bed, watching inspirational Netflix movies.
Feeling welcome into the arms of every teen angst indie film.
It ends.
You’re alone.
You take a sip of the 5 day old room temperature water
Sitting on your bed stand
Up comes a ring of wood with the cup.
Rub your grease caked face.
Think about showering.
One more show.
Tomorrow you plan to run.
Eat healthy.
New life, new you.
Wake up, run 2 miles.
Think about becoming raw vegan and a marathon runner.
Go buy fruits and veggies.
How do people live without bread?
Let veggies go bad.
Too hung over to run the next day
Start again tomorrow.
Don’t start again tomorrow.
Go get fries and shake because you deserve it.
Determine you’re ok with becoming morbidly obese
To the point of immobility.
Open backpack.
See laptop.
Repeat.
