When the person you love says they don’t love you anymore, you don’t get to decide that they do.

Walk away

I miss all the moments we never got to share. How strange a feeling, missing nothing

I’m so tired, even though I drink double shot lattes every morning before I start my day. My heart is so heavy like the waters of the ocean. It’s so easy to make me feel guilty, and its easy to make me feel responsible and indebted. It really is. 

Too much of me is broken  and I really just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel so sorry for Jae. I feel like I’ve really ruined his life with all this sadness. It just won’t go away.

3:54am

I remember waiting for it, thinking that the day it would happen, would be the happiest moment of my life. But it ended, not so shortly after. Romance is so deceiving. When I read Wuthering Heights, I thought, in this world love will have to be easier and sadness a stranger. But I remember losing it, and catching the train back home crying my eyes out- feeling so ashamed because I’d spent my whole life trying to be a saint. And all the movies I’d watched, they’d really misled me. I’m lucky I have someone else now. (I love him more than anything). But the few years I spent at Church, they make me question every part of me, my actions, my conscious and my unconscious. I just want to be at peace with myself.

Even when I look away, I am still looking.

I want to touch the night sky, and see it ripple between my fingertips.
