'Yami'

Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.  -been here on tumblr since 2010

Missing?

I miss pieces of myself,

I've convinced myself I'm missing,

People that I've lost,

And moments I've lost with them,

Yet still I stand to mourn and yearn,

Their absence unforgotten,

I'm never without what I've lost,

For once I called it "gotten".

there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.

Grieving someone who’s still alive is more difficult.

i hate talking about my problems.

it's so embarrassing.

You deserve a life that doesn’t constantly feel like something you have to recover from.

sometimes i don’t care about getting better anymore. i just wanna give up.

Isolating myself from everyone sounds like the best option.

i’m tired. but not just “didn’t sleep” tired. soul tired. bone tired. like my body keeps going but nothing inside knows why.

to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

shoutout to people whose kindness isn't a strategy but a way of life

I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.
