We were never a match made in heaven, darling. There was too much fire in the way your hands touched my body, the flames that rose in my chest told me that we are a match made in hell.

Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they canât forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released.

No expectations. No disappointment.
If you hold no expectations then you get no disappointment, common sense and we all know it to be true. And yet we meet one person who we expect to fill the empty void you feel that has been created from multiple attacks, self-inflicted and inflicted by others. We never sense the expectations in us start to build but as each one gets broken and cracked from underneath you, you finally look down and realize you are about to fall. We tell ourselves no more, we say âIâM DONEâ and yet inside all of us is that small voice hoping that we are proven wrong. You find that every song some how relates back to you, that the universe is telling you to look deeper and you will realize that you're expectations will be met. But I realized that to say that you don't want to create expectations so you aren't disappointed is the most selfish thing you could ever do for yourself! To hold a person to no expectations is giving them a pass to walk over you, to let someone in your life that can break the rules and break your expectations is you trying to save your ass from heartbreak and disappointment. But you need the disappointment to show you how many people can live up those expectations and that their isn't anything wrong with your expectations there is something wrong with them. You just don't want to give them up because you don't want to disappoint YOURSELF.

what you see
I was sad and blue
I was old and bruising
I was  like that broken leaf that never got to fall
I was the red balloon that no one could catch
but to you
I was not sad and blue
Instead I was like the sky some blues darker than others but together it made the most beautiful hue
Each shade changing with the mood but even during my storms even when I thought the flood was endless you saw the most epic storm not needing to be tamed but needing to be let out you didn't search for a rainbow you didn't search for something better no you looked right up at me and played in the rain loving the look of each shade mixing and separating.
To you
I was not the broken leave that never got to fall I was the strongest leaf of them all holding on for dear life and never breaking I was waiting to fall waiting for people to stop telling me when and how to fall. you know that i never truly fell instead i sky dived instead i jumped expecting to end it all only for you to pick me up and call me the mostâ important leaf of human historyâ not because of my jump but because of my potential because of one simple leap i created a new story a story that ends up to be the best
You look at me as if Iâm absurd calling myself a lonely red balloon you look at me wondering is that really what I think I am and then you look at me in the eyes finally connecting with me showing me a glimpse of not a lonely red balloon but a red balloon escaping the hell floating up to match the shades in the sky passing one simple leaf and causing it to fall
you don't see me sad and blue
you see endless and blue

Sheâs something odd and uncertain, half of her was made of stars, full of death and filled with light; her other half was made of scars, full of life and filled with darkness.

Grief
My father passed away nine years ago, I was eight. I do not remember much before my life as an eight year old but I what I do remember was the awful things that father did. He was mean, abusive and absent from my life but always willing to tell me what I did wrong (Yes, this was when I was eight and could barely even spell) and I love him I truly do. But today as I get close to graduation High school I realize how much I miss him and how much I wish he was here but the dilemma is that I know that that is illogical because of the emotional and occasional physical abuse he caused me and my four older siblings. I feel as if my emotions have betrayed me and itâs a hard grieving time for me.Â

Sherlock is not a robot
It always pisses me off that the gifs always show Sherlock as a robot that doesn't feel anything. He does feel, I think that the feels the most out of all of us because he can see what other people do to others. He sees how harsh the world is and the people he deems as friends are people that he trusts not to hurt him even though he can every possible out come he still chooses to love his friends even though he doesn't show it like normal people.
