#yearner
they say you can love someone to the point it hurts and that is yearning in itself but yearning to me is that feeling that gets me through endless readings and burnout and breakdowns and god when will this end yearning is laughing at you trying to nap in my bright room and failing so you instead ask me to stay beside you because you nap better that way yearning is the way you move to the side of the road because you feel like you have to protect me yearning is our faces barely an inch apart and forgetting i had to study yearning is your warmth and hope that everything will be ok

yearn
I yearn for a feeling a feeling i have never even felt it feels close, but yet so far like nostalgia of an old memory or something whispered decades ago, yet i still reach trying to grasp it part of me wonders if ill feel it Ever.

Ever.
I used to be terrified of water — I swore I’d never touch it again. Then one day, I saw the most beautiful beach I’d ever laid eyes on. It was so breathtaking that, for a moment, I forgot my fear. I wondered what it would feel like to swim in something that perfect even knowing it could drown me. And I gave in — not because I wasn’t afraid but because the beauty felt worth the risk. But once I was in, I realized I was drowning — slowly and silently. Not because it was cruel but because it didn’t care. It stayed untouched while I struggled. That’s when it hit me : even it seems like the most beautiful thing ever doesn’t mean it couldn’t hurt you — some things just aren’t meant for you.
