i met someone recently that reminds me of you. but i don’t tell anyone this time. i dont run to my friends asking if they see it or run away from them because i do. i’m not afraid to admit that anymore. our conversations continue in a familiar way and yet i am different and so are they. and maybe i like it better that way.

we really wake up every day and do things that actively kill us just so we can feel alive. how ridiculous. how human.

one day my mother was irrevocably changed.

neither she nor i would ever be the same again, and that we cannot change.

this we will mourn together.
