#lifeisnotlinear

We treat life like it came with some secret schedule:

Heal your childhood wounds by 25

Land your dream career by 30

Fall in love and have it all figured out by… what, 32.5?

And if you don’t hit those marks, your brain whispers, “Welp, you blew it.”

Yeah, no. That’s a lie.

There is no perfect timeline. There is just your timeline—full of detours, plot twists, heartbreaks, healing, and all the weird in-between moments that make you, you.

where do you go when you can’t run from now?

would you try to look at the past?

would you try to hope for the future?

would you go back from the last conversation or mistake you think you did an hour ago?

where do you go from here?

should you always think it would get better?

that tomorrow’s not going to hurt as much as it’s hurting now?

humor me.

#lifeisnotlinear You have been there with me. Yes, you. And I have been there with you. Through each longing and each loving... And it goes on. Squandering each peace, the next day comes, and a new peace develops to wilt again, but it leaves us with another brick for building further – and I will never stop because even if they don't accept your employment right now, and even if they don't hear your art right now, and even if you don't find love right now, and even if you can't get out of bed or your voice is voiceless right now, "life is a series of goodbyes and hellos" and the smiths is playing on the stereo and heaven knows i'm miserable now but how soon is forever... wait on that, and never let it go. There is always a chance to be forgotten, and there is always a chance to be remembered – I love you. Life, it oscillates wildly. "Girl unafraid." You don't have to tell me. 2/15/2017 (at The College of New Jersey)
