i’ve been thinking about how time passes so quickly without my permission and how things don’t really get better. im thinking of the rose coloured tint that colours old memories i’ll pluck from the depths of my hippocampus and feel the yawning ache of being unable to return to them. bygone things do have a way of becoming irretrievable, after all. i’ll recall a memory with such mournful fondness and then read an old diary entry from the same time where i lament in embarrassing detail of how daily living feels like a chore and describe the same perpetual loneliness that follows me as closely as my own shadow, even now, even still. i find photos of moments i don’t remember and think of how many other things are slipping, have already slipped, through my fingers like grains of sand. i think i don’t hold onto grudges but i know i do hold onto grief. i am good at letting go of things quietly, when the time comes. i’m good at mourning quietly, too. i’m turning twenty four this year but feel no wiser than i did at nineteen. sometimes i feel i have nothing to show for the years that have passed in the interim. autumn has broken in summer like a pair of stiff leather shoes and i am still trying to be softer and kinder. i have been trying since i learnt what it meant to be soft and kind.

[peach-tinted]

i want to live in the peaceful feeling you get underwater where everything sounds softer and the lights are all tinged blue and the world feels silky and light and surreal

When you become 20 something, you have to forgive yourself or you will never grow up. You have to forgive yourself for everything and learn from it.
