one of the hardest things you'll ever do is take your own advice.

remember when we would stay up all night just to talk and see the stars?

I do.

how do I explain to my mom that I’m not mad at my sister, not because I am a forgiving and kind person, but because she lost me. she finally crossed my threshold. a threshold that I can count on one hand that people never come back from. I will be perfectly civil and kind and smile like a good daughter. but she can’t hurt me anymore because she already destroyed me worse than I thought my sister ever could. I am numb to her.

the urge to just lay down and let time pass you by forever. it’s called clinical depression

[brightstarrr]

you know how people normalize having no regrets because they learn from them?

i always used to believe that. but lately. i’m not so sure.

i spent four years of my life being manipulated, traumatized, and destroyed by you. and all i can think about now is why is your next person better? what did they do different?

i‘m not even at the point four years later that I can be grateful for the lessons. i have everything in the world to be grateful for, and yet I sit here and wonder why I was never enough for you.

someone explain that.

I think relationships in general are over romanticized like at the end of the day I’m pretty sure a good relationship is just two people who know how to hang out and talk to each other not whether or not they can right all your wrongs or paint a picture of a thousand suns with the breath from your lungs or some shit

@telesilla gets it #can you sit in silence with the person while you both read?#are you willing to drive them to work#when you feel like shit but they feel worse?#do they remember some dumb family joke#you told them a few years ago?#passion is great#but someone who gets you#that’s the real thing

relationships are a choice. everyday.

emotional, platonic, work. every day. it’s not always easy. they are always there.

[brightstarrr]

to whom it may concern.

[brightstarrr]

somewhere. somehow. someway. something.

[brightstarrr]

I wanted to prove my love. I wanted to forget my choices. I wanted to pretend. I wanted to ignore. I wanted to live in this fantasy world I had created.

But that never lasts. It never provides. Just takes and takes and forgets.

It’s my time to be.

[brightstarrr]

it's not my time to love you. but maybe someday it will be again.

[brightstarrr]

I can't remember the last time I was this happy. I'm thriving in it. Even if just for now.

[brightstarrr]

grateful for friendships that transcend decades and healing weekends that transport me back.

I think that lately I have become too dependent on the opinion of others. When I was in high school I was so private that it hurt, and in college I have done my best to reach out more and talk more and it has only made me more insecure. I need to find a balance, and I think I need to go back to my shitty angsty posts because at least it let me get through things on my own neurotic terms.
