Stop trying to remember his scent, he smelled like summer and reminds you of the time he made you laugh so hard, you snorted out milk on that dead, hazy day.

2. Don't waste your day trying to decipher what colour his eyes were, it'll only remind you of the galaxies and constellations that you once saw in his eyes

3. Stop trying to retrace the shape of his mouth in the middle of the night, you'll choke on your tongue trying to taste the mint he devoured seconds before pulling you in for a kiss

4. Stop reliving the times you clasped hands together, the glass plate will fall off your trembling hands.

5. Burn this list, admit that the galaxies and constellations shining in his eyes were wilted, the one in yours are bursting with fire. Remember on the dead, hazy day his laugh sounded like nails running down a chalkboard. Remember when you kissed, the weeds growing from his mouth entangled the roses blooming in yours.

Realize that one day, another boy is going to come and plant daisies where he left behind thorns.

i enjoy the silence. it calms the voices in my head down. i feel a sense of clarity, peace, and enlightenment. that is something that is lacking in this society, silence. everyone is trying to make their voices heard, and they are trying to prove how significant they are to others. but, all those things arent as important as the inner peace and acceptance you gain when you are sitting alone listening to nothing. silence doesnt seek for approval, it doesnt seek to be heard. it accepts you for who you are and the only thing desires is your presence.

Why is it the hurt ones that are so kind?
Its like we try
to make up for our own
unhappiness
By making others happy.

We still feel empty inside.

But even the smallest thing
can sometimes make us feel
the suns rays
On our skin.
I arranged this out of something I said to a friend once
