a diary of an overthinker

“Maybe it is my fault for not being career-driven. The truth is, I always planned on dying young; a handful of pills for breakfast or getting too cozy with an electric outlet. It was close, but I made it and I’m glad, but once you’ve given yourself to the thought of a short-lived life, once your future becomes a back up plan, getting by is the only thing that matters.”

“She once thought that the damage to her mind and heart was permanent - until she met Wisdom, who taught her that no pain or wound is eternal. That ll can be healed, and that love can grow, even in the toughest places of her being.”

writing is the only way

that i can be honest with the world

i don’t hate anything that

i can put on paper

because like all evil entities in the world,

the devil was once beautiful

but he is only known for causing

pain throughout the whole bible

and we are still taught to

not only love, but forgive our enemies

and i see no point in doing so

but this pen makes the confusion

easier to tolerate

i’d rather be blinded by my grudges

than my refusal to notice those who hurt me

“…The heart of America grieves today. A leader of his people – a teacher of all people – has fallen. Martin Luther King, Jr., has been struck down by the violence against which he preached and worked. Yet the cause for which he struggled has not fallen. The voice that for freedom, to which he gave eloquent expression, continues…”
