so much has changed in my life (and for the better!) i have not completely forgotten about my blog or the journey ive made while posting here, i simply needed time for myself and didnt feel that i was in the same headspace that i was during the launch of this account to post anything worthwhile. ill still share my poems and silly little pictures from time to time but right now its time to change.

whisper

whisper it to me

its much sweeter that way

every time you raise your voice

i feel ill blow away

i know your intent is pure

i know youll not lead me astray

but every time you scream or shout

my body crumbles with dismay

and as cruel as my bite may be

know i dont wish it to be this way

all i asked was for a whisper

to preserve my minds decay

im tired. so so tired. will anyone answer me? im tired. i said im tired. youre not listening to me. dont lie. i can tell. you say you are. but i still feel tired. why am i so tired? it hasnt always felt like this. im so frustrated. so tired of feeling frustrated. so tired of being unheard. im tired.

i wish people would normalize being lost in life and just not knowing anything. not knowing what you’re passionate about, where you want to live, what you want to do, where you want to go— or what lies next. as a society, we normalized going to school, finding a passion, getting a job, finding a partner, getting married, having kids, working hard to earn an honest living. but what about when shit just doesn’t go that way? you really just don’t know. and what’s even worse is, you don’t know why you don’t know or even where to start so you feel alone. you feel as though you’re a disappointment to your family. as if you failed in life. but you haven’t, it’s okay, to not know. to be lost. you have your whole life ahead of you to figure things out. patience is a virtue. there is no time limit on life. you don’t need to rush. don’t allow society to fixate the narrative of having all your shit together at a certain age. it isn’t realistic for most. being lost is so much more normal than we think. and i just wish people would be more transparent about it.
