[Text ID: “ I thank everyone I don’t love. They don’t cause me heartache; they don’t make me write long letters; they don’t disturb my dreams. I don’t wait for them anxiously; I don’t read their horoscopes in magazines; I don’t dial their numbers; I don’t think of them. I thank them a lot. They don’t turn my life upside down.”]

i hate being here

here

i am grateful

not anybody

i could just be invisible

i could just go away

i could just disappear

i could turn into nothingness

nothingness is something too

is it not
