"Tomorrow didn’t come, forever was too short. I still remember the sound of my heart banging against a wall filled with every promise you made, each word painting a visual of what your lies looked like. Imagine playing back everything you thought was true, only to discover the deception after you had given everything to the one person who deserved nothing. I think you know exactly what I’m talking about, you’ve felt the shards of sharp pieces of your heart in the palm of your hands as you tried to piece yourself back together. I know your pain and you know mine and so here we are, meeting here on these pages. I want to forget and so do you. I want to remember how it felt to be happy and so do you." - #RHSin https://www.instagram.com/p/CPLXuhHjO5H4u5LNgAe0ViffbLjl_49GVOkyuQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr

"I just didn’t trust flying.  I didn’t trust driving.  I didn’t trust anything, really, not even myself at times.  And now, at twenty-nine, I trusted even less than I did before.  I’m not sure exactly how I got to this point, but the older I got, the less I trusted the world around me.  I guess that was a part of growing up.  The more I grew, the less I felt, or maybe it was the other way around.  The more I grew, the more I felt, and maybe deep down within me I just ignored everything a little more." https://www.instagram.com/p/CLScDOUD0U3/?igshid=gea95s7ps03h

"You are allowed to feel everything you feel.  This sounds obvious but many of us have been told we’re not allowed to feel the things we’re feel. We’re not allowed to get angry when bad things happen, or sad when sad things happen, or for some of us, even happy when things are good. There are people I’ve said this to again, and again and again and there’s something so ingrained in them that, even though they understand it when I say it, and they accept it, they soon find themselves back in the same place, unable to accept whatever it is they’re going through, and worse, getting upset at themselves for their emotions. As I’ve said to someone before,  “You’re beating yourself up because you’re beating yourself up. You’re angry because you’re angry. And you’re sad because you’re sad.”  The sooner you allow yourself the space and the acceptance to feel whatever it is you need to, the sooner it will pass and you can move on something else. The longer you fight it, the longer you will fight.  The world is a bit crazy right now. Make it easier on yourself by giving yourself permission to deal with it however you need to." - IST https://www.instagram.com/p/CKcfFh0jGywAmCtq4ldB0avP_XWsrqSqjcLOuw0/?igshid=eweq7228kfh7

"....Not been overly obsessed with being forgotten. Now, I’m not saying she wasn’t funny, because at times, well, when she needed to be, she was, but I think a lot of us are like that. I think a lot of us could be amusing and interesting and so much more than we’re willing to be. After all, being more than just a memory required work, and it wasn’t the kind that came easy or cheap or overnight. No, never that." #Gravity #RMDrake #RobertMDrake https://www.instagram.com/p/CIT-A8vjaAFXIvUYQGx1zo0vf4i56PxLF9YT_40/?igshid=jsoxjpe30k4v

"People are all the same but you and I, we’re not like them. So to say that we’ll both stay isn’t you and it isn’t me either. We’re tragically drawn to one another and eventually we’ll fall apart. So let’s enjoy whatever it is that we have, because when we’re done, I wouldn’t know what else to give you other than just another story. And that alone might be the most beautiful thing we’ll ever live to tell." - #RMDrake (at Brookfield Place New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFnLk37Dl3u/?igshid=fvh0frlentej

"And in the beginning, my lungs had too much air in them, whenever you were near, like I could never breathe out enough. And in the end, my throat closed, whenever you were far, like I could never breathe in again." -#IST #IainSThomas #IainThomas #TheArtOfBreathing (at Kaaterskill Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYIkRJjjyi/?igshid=100lftf6sg6ll

"It's okay to feel alone, lost, and empty. For everything that’s lonely finds its company.  Everything lost is meant to be found and everything empty eventually gets filled.  So see it like this: Think about all the terrible times you have lived through, and think about how they, too, have passed. You’re a survivor and you have to go through hell to find heaven. The same way you must break in order to find yourself whole again." - #RMDrake (at Domino Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9Bx88jYdcZYtWvf9ijFZp882q-Ezi5AYR--Q0/?igshid=tou2zski2amn

"And then there are the people who will buy something new, go somewhere different, and even switch crowds to feel better about themselves. But what they fail to understand is, true happiness doesn’t work this way. You have to find it from within. So no matter where you go, what you buy, or who you spend your time with... your demons will still be with you, and you have to find a way to bury them before they go ahead and bury you instead." - #RMDrake https://www.instagram.com/p/CABj1FODJ3iKq84UTTZGS-SxvCN96X-dJJC5po0/?igshid=geron60hygl1

"It always starts off the same, you know? Every relationship begins with this overall phase of bliss, trust and dependency. There are more laughs in the beginning. It’s almost as if everything is a bit funnier toward the front end of the courtship. You find yourself smiling for no damn reason and as foolish as you may look to others, you don’t care because you’ve found something worth looking foolish over..." - #RHS https://www.instagram.com/p/B_avk9qjqsx/?igshid=1vz566nu4uoko

"I don’t know how to fix this Pinpoint where it all started to go bad The fights continue way into the night until every jab is thrown We depart from exhaustion In the moment, we regret little of what was said Drip by drip, it seeps in The realization that this has gotten much worse than foreseen Does “I’m sorry” still work, or have we run that into the ground? The prospect of not being right for one another looming There’s no measurement for how much that hurts..." - #RHSin #BrooklynMuseum #AStormInTheRockyMountains #MtRosalie #AlbertBierstadt #1866 #Brooklyn #Museum #Art #OilPainting #LandscapeOilPainting #GermanArtist #WeHopeThisReachesYouInTime #AStormInTheRockyMountainsMtRosalie #AlbertBierstadt (at Brooklyn Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VjO13DBXBqAyRrskLaJcbmmLdUh-mIpIXhew0/?igshid=iidjkf0odi3u

"You’ve hidden so much because you’re tired of the betrayal that follows behind those who don’t deserve passage upon your heart’s bridge. So much of you left to be discovered by someone who doesn’t have to be told where to go. Someone who knows what to do and how to treat you without hurting you in the process. I think there’s this part of you that will mean the world to the right person, but until then, you will always mean the world to yourself and there is nothing wrong with protecting your light from those who will only represent darkness." - #RHSin ...... #GonnaGetBackToit #Queens #FlushingMeadowsPark #FlushingMeadows #Corona #CoronaPark #RHSinPoetry #Poetry #SheJustWantsToForget #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #Flushing (at Flushing Meadows - Corona Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7HhLrPDEKCULAjV_RRBeDiTjI8mb8HHmyLxBk0/?igshid=18i0gxniwiacb

"Take a moment, now, to be conscious of what you’re doing with your time. If you intend to waste it, that’s fine, just be aware that you’re wasting it. Do not confuse being in the same room, with spending good time with another human being. Do not confuse the distractions of the world, with the world itself." - #IainSThomas #IainThomas #IWTFY #IWTFU #Mood #Poetry #Writing #Milani #LongHairDontCare #Selfie https://www.instagram.com/p/B20AlITDW5CgiXMlAGR7Lakqkf8FjamnjW675c0/?igshid=1uplys36ngbkx

"It doesn't hurt because if you keep hurting the same part of you again and again and again, the nerve endings all die.  And when that happens, that part of you goes numb. That's why it doesn't hurt.

"And you taught me what this feels like. And then how it feels to lose it. And you showed me who I wanted. And then who I wasn’t. And you ticked every box. And then drew a line. And you weren’t mine to begin with. And then not to end with. And you looked like everything I wanted. And then became something I hated. And you get thought of every day. And then not in a good way. And you let me leave. And then wish I’d stayed. And you almost killed me. But I didn’t die." - #IainThomas #IslaMujeres #Cancun #IainSThomas #IST #IWTFY #IWTFU #TheBibliographyOfStrings #Mexico #QuintanaRoo #RivieraMaya #XpuHá #Xpu-Há #México #Boo #Family #Pool #LovingLife #Beach #XpuHáBeach #Xpu-HáBeach #Playa (at Isla Mujeres) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HFJg6DWwk8Mg_T7BYvR_ZlvLdlXxAyGAJ0t40/?igshid=8te8hnidwqgc
