That scene that practically lives rent-free in your head?

Write it. The one you keep daydreaming about. The one you’ve choreographed like a movie. The one with the perfect line you whisper to yourself when no one’s around.

Yeah. That one.

Write it down. Even if it’s out of order. Even if it’s messy. Even if it changes later.

Give it somewhere to live besides your brain.

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

As someone who sometimes has auditory and visual hallucinations, working in the psych ward may not have been the wisest choice...

Whoever (me) decided it was a good idea (it was me) for me to work the night shift (I decided this) should be shot (I specifically asked for this shift). I mean, who in their right mind (I am *not* in my right mind) would want to stay up (I am not smart in my decision-making) watching psych ward patients (I should 100% be in here with them) for 12 hours? (I could be SLEEPING)

Shiiiiiiit, y'all know how hell has layers? Yeah, fuck that shit.

"Work in the psych ward" they said

"The pay is worth it" they said

"Yeah, I can handle the night shift!" I said. Like an idiot.

It's 0230, and I'm about ready to crash. I get off at 0600 *crying*

I still look back on those evenings we spent together as the happiest part of my life, and I wanted it to go on forever.

The only issue I've found with dating nerds is that I keep taking on their favourite games, and after we break up, I don't stop playing them. I have amassed so much gamer knowledge and am only becoming nerdier with every passing day.

College football is more of a religion than Christianity is down here in the South. People camp outside stadiums days before big games but can't bother to show up to church at 10AM for a forty-five minute service.

I didn’t want it to be a lesson; I wanted it to be love.

~Do you understand the pain of real-life voicemail? I look you in the face, and somehow, I still get an answering machine. How the silence around you sounds like dial tone is mystifying.~

Here's a reminder that you can always:

Make a new list

Let yourself change, improve and evolve

Give up on a book that you don't enjoy reading

Actually let go of anything that doesn't feel right for you, a tv show, a friend, anything

Remind yourself of what really matters to you when you realize you have forgotten

~No, please don't hang up. You don't understand. The silence during our phone calls puts me to sleep because it is a calm silence. The silence after we hang up is so deafening that it keeps me awake for hours.~

~I'm sorry that you have to be so patient with me. I spiral quickly and without warning. I am unpredictable and easily frightened.~

~I hope every notification is from you, even though I gave you a special ringtone too tell a difference. In my heart, I wish they were all you. You're the only one I really want to hear from.~
