When Finneas O’Connell said “I lost a friend like keys in a sofa” and when Ocean Vuong said “I miss you more than I remember you” and when Richard Siken said “this is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.” And when Maggie Nelson said “haven’t you learned to keep the loosest possible hold?” And when Hannah Hassler said “I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade…I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved” and when Stephen Chbosky said “things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop…” and when I said “Last week I left my necklace on a bus in Riverside and I wonder if you’ll find it when I leave you in the place where all the lost things go.”

Some bullshit I wrote while crying so I didn't hurt myself... Tw? Sh and ed
Im tired
All I want in this world is to be a kid again
I want to care about keeping my pet shops straight in their house not about the lines on my arms being straight
I want to look forward to meeting my friends
Not put it off for as long as I can
I want to be careless
I want to deal with scarred knees and not scarred wrists
I want my body to be small again
I want to not care about the way it looks
I want to go back in time
Be a kid again
I need to go back to before I started feeling like this
Before I started destroying my own body
Making marks on my skin
I don't want to care about adult problems
I don't want to be learning to drive a car
I'm not ready
I need more time
Everything's happening too fast
I need a break and time to process everything
I'm tired
I need help
Please help me

God I miss 2012 one direction. Like the whole era was just iconic, the music was great and the vibes were just immaculate. You just had to be there I swear

I want to be held, I want to be cared for, I don't want to be strong anymore I want to be fragile. I want to be her little girl again and have my hair braided as I sit in between her legs, I want to sit in front of the TV as she's cooking in the kitchen with her music on in the background. I want her to pick me up from school in her old car and tell her about my day from the backseat. I want to be near her and not feel as if I am suffocating from the lack of air and the tension between us. I want to be 6 again

Once more...
[8:54 PM, 9/3/2023]
I wish I was a child once more.
To feel my mother’s warm embrace,
to be held and to be loved.
A time when I could lay my head on her shoulder
To rest my weary soul,
Where she hums a melody hoping I’ll drift to
A peaceful slumber.
I wish I was a child once more.
So I can hold my father’s calloused hand,
To be guided and to be protected.
A time when he carried my slumbering form
And lay me on the bed,
Where he would watch over me
Slumbering away.
I wish I was a child once more.
So I can see the world dance in watercolor hue,
To see the flowers vividly and the sky as a painting.
A time where I needn’t a care in the world,
Without dread and without fear,
An unbound soul.

Why do people have such big expectations from me, academically just because I used to get good marks when I was a kid???
Like it was easier as a kid but now… there are so many other things and nobody gets it!
