why go to the grocery store or to a restaurant when you can just get food delivered why go to the mall when you can get same day shipping on amazon why go to the library when you have kindle why make art when there’s ai why go to the cinema when you can stay at home and watch netflix. we are in a loneliness epidemic btw

the loneliness epidemic was invented by BIG SHIT to sell you more SHIT

WE’RE HERE ON EARTH TO FART AROUND

he flashed me his kind, kind eyes

and i had to look down

wasnt used to it until then

i wanted to run, run and not come back

no one’s looked at me like he did

like he wanted me

like he chose me

like he adored me

i wanted to run, run and not come back

sensed it all coming downhill from that moment

because thats how it goes

enthral me like your life depends on it

and the break it all up for the fun of it

i wanted to run, run and not come back

i started hating him when he showed me his kind eyes

eyes i wasn’t used to from anyone

kindness wasn’t the same as devotion

and devotion, i bled for

kindness wasn’t peace

and i chose peace over passion

kind, kind man;

let me go and make it not hurt

let me go and we’ll withhold within us what we could’ve been

let me go and flash your kind eyes to someone who flashes them back

let me go and i’ll run to eyes that make mine wet

cathartic love, catastrophic end.

is it better now?

is it better now like you had hoped it to be?

was it worth cutting off the people you thought weren’t good enough? or does the regret find a way to seep in to your life like it always has?

is life now what you had dreamt it would be? is ten year old you looking at you now with nothing but yearning and kindness?

was the bloodshed worth it?

was the heartache?

does letting go hurt less now?

does walking away?

do you forget?do you live?do you comprehend?

-letters from my hurting younger self to myself

growing up, i remember thinking that my mom was a skeptic. she used to tell me that the world was out there to crush me down to crumbs and watch me suffer. i remember thinking that the love she had found had not been enough to make her believe in the goodness in people. younger me, however saw the way my mom used to eat dinner after i did. i saw the way she was willing to ruin her makeup to get me ready for school. the way she used to give me her hairtie simply because i had lost mine.

but i think of it now, i think of all the times i have had to keep reminding myself

the world isn't so kind anymore

the world isn't so kind anymore.

maybe the world was never kind enough. had i listened to my mother then, i would have saved myself a ton of heartache, but i also would have saved myself from all the love, the passion and the kindness i have learned to give out to people no matter what.

love may not have saved my mother, but it did make her cautious enough to pass on her tales to me.

and what is love if not that?
