Social media is great. For example, right now, in this moment, I feel my whole world is falling apart. My heart hurts. And here I am, typing this and sending it out into a void where no one will read it, or no one will care because they are also breaking down. Yay! Isn't it nice how the world is connected?

[desperation]

.

i cannot breathe

(these breaths are coming too fast)

i cannot believe

(these lives are passing by)

goodbye never sounded

so final

.

today i...

today i...

i'm falling down

i'm reaching out

(she's walking away)

and i

.

i never learned how to unlove

now what?

space between us

her and i were like two stars

colliding

melding together

and free-falling towards earth

.

i wonder if people watched

as we descended

puzzled

blinded

unable to turn away

(we were a beautiful catastrophe)

.

there were days

there were nights

where the only lights that shone

where the reflections

(we burned quickly)

.

none of this matters

none of this matters

none of this matters

except for every part

.

i hope she is somewhere

shining.

shining again.

Nichiren Buddhism is concerned with a very practical problem--how people should live their lives--and never for an instant allows its attention to be diverted from that problem. And because this is its purpose, it demands as a first step that one conduct a thorough and fearless examination into the true nature of human life.

The world is full of so much beauty. But I don't want to see it right now because it only reminds me of how I don't get to experience it with her.
