This Scene Can Not be Skipped, from a book I may never write

[a1000colors]

lately, i miss you. more than i thought i could. it's not easy not talking to you, holding myself back from texting you. my soul is chaotic. making it harder to fall asleep at night. no, i don't cry over you. but i can't seem to smile either. i wonder what your absence does to me. i want to cry, let it all out. let the chaos flow out of my body through tears. but it's not so easy. almost love is truly complicated.

Rape isn’t just shouting. Screaming. Fighting back. It is so much more than that. We need to educate ourselves about the realities of it. And the prevalence of it.

In a Garden of Withered Roses

I sit in a garden of roses,

but they're not lush and red.

Instead they're sad and shriveled

Their blooms are faded and dead.

And yet I find comfort

in seeing what I built.

For these blossoms are beautiful

Even as they wilt.

In a garden of withered roses

is where I spend my days.

For even the most beautiful things in life

will eventually fade away.

Drink some wine, read French philosophy and Russian novels, smell more roses, and watch more sunsets.

Falling into psychosis is alike going to war. You may survive but you'll never be as you once were.

[brokenflicker]

"I'm not lazy, I'm just tired. and I don't mean because I've been working hard. Not at all. I'm tired from forcing myself to get out of bed everyday. I'm tired of distracting myself from the thoughts in my brain. I'm tired because all my energy is put to surviving and people don't understand that because all they see is how unproductive you are."

“You can’t just give up on someone because the situation’s not ideal. Great relationships aren’t great because they have no problems. They’re great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it work.”
