#growing distant

[35percentvibes]

I spent 17 years with my extended family, people who were once so close and well known to me. Then I moved away for studies, and somehow, things changed. Now, whenever I attend family gatherings, it feels like I’m surrounded by strangers. I carry this quiet sense of isolation, and sometimes I wonder… is it even necessary to meet anymore?

I miss you

Even when I'm with you

For you're not who used to be

And I'm not who you would be with either.

status report: listening to breakup songs and thinking of all the friends i grew distant from

[dimmedsunlight]

friendships dissolve like sugar in water.

slowly at first..not even giving a hint of the distance forming b/w us.

then slowly with time..it all dissolves into the water into nothingness just leaving behind the sweetness. the sweetness of the friendship that we shared.

and if the situation becomes heated..we dissolve even more quickly drivinf us even apart.

and i think this is so preposterous.

all that's left is bleak pain with the sugary drops of the memories here and there. </3

Is there a way to manifest new good friends that I can call up when the sky is a beautiful blue and the breeze passes by my face just to hear their voice and share that serene moment? Not saying that because I don't have good friends. I am just miles and miles away from them. Physically and mentally.

To V,

Remember that you are worth more than what you give.

You aren't a communal object to give and give until empty.

You are not living water.

Do not pretend your water is endless.

For someday you will need a drink and have no water your yourself.

Giving is not the only reason people love you.

I love you for the way you smile when Chris says a dad joke.

I love you for the clips you send us of you spinning in your sewed circle skits.

I love you for the way you fall in love with universes of paper and ink.

You are not the body you inhabit.

You are not the people you please.

You are radient for many reasons.

I know giving makes you feel whole, I do the same.

It is not selfish to support yourself.

Sometimes friends will drift away, whether it be for a week or forever.

That's okay.

Its scary and hurts but it's part of growing up.

Be happy for the memories you shared.

But don't let their distance make you feel like you are less.

Be kind to yourself, V.

You will do great, kiddo.

Knock em' dead.

Love, Mark.

You are not who I

wanted you to be, but to

blame you is foolish
