so many ups
so many downs
so many feelings
so many missed emotions

make a choice

do you want to be right?!
do you want to be happy?!

the latter, indeed.

– – – –

you are STRONGER than you realize

the smallest words will break your heart

you WILL change
you’re not the same person you were three years ago;
you’re not even the same person you were three minutes ago
THAT IS OKAY
especially if you don’t like the person you were before

PEOPLE C O M E & G O
some are cigarette breaks
others are forest fires

you will not like your name
….until you hear someone say it in their sleep

n e v e r stop yourself from telling someone you love them
….even if it is at 4am

make sure you have a safe place
whether it’s the kitchen floor
or the travel section of a bookshop
just make sure you have one

you will be scared of all kinds of things
of spiders and clowns and eating alone
BUT your biggest fear is that people will see you the way you see yourself

sometimes, looking at someone will be like looking into the sun
sometimes someone will look at you like you ARE the sun
WAIT FOR IT

always be friends with broken people
….they know how to survive

you can love someone and hate them
A L L at O N C E
you can miss them so much it aches
but still ignore your phone when they call

you are good at something
whether it’s making people laugh
or remembering their birthday
do not let anyone tell you these things don’t matter.

YOU will always be hungry for love.
always.
even when that someone is asleep next to you
….you will envy the pillow touching their cheek
and the sheet that is hiding their skin

loneliness has nothing to do with how many people are around you
but how many of them understand you

people say I LOVE YOU all the time
even when they say ‘why didn’t you call me back’ or ‘he is an asshole’
…make sure you are listening

you will be okay.
