the beauty in the breakdown

she left pieces of her life behind her everywhere she went. "it's easier to feel the sunlight without them," she said.

i can't believe that my family still goes on vacation together. every year! somewhere new!

i can't believe i have so many friends near and far. they love me so much.

i can't believe i still get to talk to my mom on the phone every day. she's never bored. every story i tell her she's absolutely thrilled. so many people don't have anyone and i have someone who listens to every word with glee.

i can't believe i have the job that i do?? i am in awe. who does this happen to?

i can't believe my coworkers have always been some of my closest friends. have i ever been on a team where i didn't have friends? no!

i can't believe my dad and i get to do the crossword! from our phones. technology is amazing

i can't believe i get to bring my entire personality to work. i laugh i shout i dance. all day i get to be myself!

“You are very intense about things” yes and I will continue to be so going into the next year!!! I’ll fall in love w strangers and write them love letters I will never send!!!! I’ll cry for hours listening to music I loved when I was 16!!!!! I’ll mourn lost friendships and things that never came to be!!!! I’ll pick up 8987 new hobbies 92727 new languages and 68194 books!!! I will not allow hurt over severed connections to stop me from loving & living to my fullest capacity!!!!!!!

i've never felt so connected but disconnected to a number all at once. not many people get to live the kind of life i live. overwhelmed with gratitude, mourning the days that flew by too fast. i cry every year on my birthday, but i'm not sure that's a bad thing <3

so, it’s still you.

over these 3.5 years i have learned that i need a guy who’s kind of an asshole, also enjoys making fun of people, is dominant, can carry the conversation, and doesn’t make fun of my eating habits.

[when-idontknowwhattosay]

to my past self: you will meet more people like this. it does not need to be him anymore.

[when-idontknowwhattosay]

friendly reminder: even more guys like this than you think 

[when-idontknowwhattosay]

rethink the asshole part, babe. you deserve better.

i never thought it would be like this

i watch your dot move around the city

another night without me

in fact, this night is with her -

i’m alone, jumping - leaping - to conclusions.

i’ve not had many nights unlike this,

i still don't understand why it’s like this.

new cities, new selves, new friends, new memories.

i remain the same - no matter how far i put it away.

i never thought it would be this..... way?
