Just survive. You know how to. You’ve been doing it all your life.

“you ask what I have done with my life. why I am 22 with so many unfinished selves. so many futures I could not commit to. but you don’t know how much of my time has been spent keeping myself alive.”

Have you ever found yourself in a room full of people, one where everyone seems to be shouting conversations except you, and you have somehow wound up leaning against the wall in a corner, staring at your shoes, thinking you would rather be anywhere but here in this room, and never felt more lonely in your entire life?

I don't fantasize about having the perfect life. I just think about waking up somewhere safe. I think about having a pretty kitchen and a nice green armchair. Books on shelves. Coffee always brewing. I could be happy with something simple and quiet.

Progress can be measured in breaths.

You’re still breathing, therefore you are making progress.

“What is destined will reach you, even if it be underneath two mountains. What is not destined, will not reach you, even if it be between your two lips.”

If you're dating someone, they should be your favorite person to be around. And if you're doing something why would you ever not want your favorite person to be there? I get that there are girls nights and stuff but no matter what I was doing, if you showed up, it would instantly make me happier. So do me a favor and if you're ever somewhere and you think, even for a second, "I'm so glad she's not here," break up with me.

It sucks when people point out your insecurities. Like, yes Karen I know I have acne and yes, I tried washing my face.

It is late at night,

And I’m staring at the ceiling.

All these bottled up emotions,

Where have they been?

How they creep up,

When I’m happy.

I just wanna know,

What did I ever do

to bear this melancholy.
