black hair and waterfalls of tears - i promise it will get better from here you'll learn to find new paths, branches and leaves, by yourself in the winding green forests that you both used to call home one day there will be a small glimpse of purpose even if it's only making it until the next day and the next day, and the next, though your body is weary, your mind is blank and  your heart is heavy and grey it won't always be this way. the moon will look like more of a friend rather than only a horrible day's bittersweet end you'll be more than just the person that always walks behind, never knowing the right words to say and holding in the urge to cry there'll be a reason to get out of bed, a small calmness that allows you to sleep, a shred of acceptance for your own soul i promise that you don't need another person to make you feel whole

Dear 18 Year Old Self
