Truthfully, I Think...

[foone]

Four things that are 100% true and you should think about if you haven't already:

You don't have to be a boy if you don't want to

You don't have to be a girl if you don't want to

You can be a boy if you want to

You can be a girl if you want to

This isn't a joke. This is reality. Have you considered these facts? If not, maybe take a moment to think about it. How's your gender doing? If you don't like it, it can be changed. Hell, even if you do like it, maybe you'd like something else more?

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

— Nayyirah Waheed

Hello again, passive suicidal ideation.

Please stay passive.

And let’s keep the dysregulation to a minimum, thanks!

Oh hai there dissociation.

Wondered when you’d be back.

Lost about an hour, but at least I’m not in hysterics.

Thanks. Keep it up, please.

[truthfully-i-think]

Help me, please.

I can’t hold on.

[truthfully-i-think]

No.

Too much, never enough.

What about when someone doesn’t need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?

How do I move when every step only serves to remind me of every step I’ve taken in sync with you?

I do not want to do this.

My chest explodes.

Every step tells me, “you’re making a mistake.”

Every step screams.

Do you remember how it felt when our hearts beat together to the same silent song?

I do not want to do this.

I can’t hear the music.

In the cacophony of sounds my heart shatters.

I don’t want to do this.

I don’t want to do this.

I don’t want to do this.

If I could, I would write us a new song:

A loud song

A brave song

A love song

A new song

A new song that our hearts could match.

That our feet could dance.

That our lives could build, and shape, and create.

A song written by one cannot be shared by two.

I do not want to do this.

I do not want to do this.

You used to ask me what it was I wished for when I blew an eyelash away.

My wish

My dream

My desire

Has always been nothing more and nothing less than

to write the rest of my songs with you.

I do not want to do this.

It was good for a while, being empty. I didn’t hurt anymore. But as time went on, it was like I could hear myself from far away, begging for permission to come back.

Don’t ever put your happiness in someone else’s hands. They’ll drop it. They’ll drop it everytime.

Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy trying to understand why something happened the way it did. Let it go.

I assure you, I’m not put together at all. Nor am I broken. I am recovering - finding the beautiful in the ugly and stitching it into my life.
