Gratitude

Today I am grateful for second chances I try to imagine what things would be like had I only been awarded that one chance- but I can’t That’s the beauty of these younger years; we’re allowed so many chances that they morph into thirds and fourths, fifths, up until tens…

Christmas

It’s been eight years to the day that I endured my first hospitalization It was not for the weak A common misconception is that you can find people with weak minds in the ward I’ve concluded that some of the strongest minds you could meet have resided in those rooms …

Lost

I like to believe that I’ve become better in my consistent state of solitude I can be my own person; I’ve become accustomed to putting myself first every time, for everything That in itself is truly amazing as I’ve come out of a complete people-pleasing mindset and stepped into a…

Pain/Beauty

Pain is beautiful, once you master gratitude I catch glimpses of the beauty myself, here and there I don’t wish for pain, but I’m glad I’ve felt it Otherwise I’d know nothing of thankfulness That’s so beautiful- poetic Though sometimes I wonder; why must lovely things go through so much to grow? The flower endures the rain A painting endures the stains We all endure the day-to-day Yet the lot of us are still so beautiful

Love

I want to show more love I want to be more affectionate and open and caring I want to be able to show others how much I really do adore them Loved ones, strangers I want to be able to tell people that I love them without feeling awkward afterwards Because I really do mean it- but the actual language of love feels foreign The actual act of love feels foreign I’m not used to it, having not received the type of love I wish to project

One Role to Play

I think that of all the roles I play in my own life… other’s… if I had to narrow it down to one conscience to live in forever, I’d be the healer. So much of healing others takes away from loving myself, and oddly enough, I think that I’m OK…

Honoring My Word

Profound thoughts are just that- profound thoughts. I’m working on profound action. Moving in a way that makes my loved ones proud to love me too. It is one thing to think in an upstanding manner, another to move in a way that honors that thought and profundity. In other…

Follow Your First Mind.

They say the mind is a terrible thing to waste. Think- right now, in this time and space… even in history and for sure the future, you are the only one that thinks the way you do. …

Life to 2020

All in all, I think the majority can agree that 2020 in its entirety was a disaster. Through loved ones lost, sickness looming, financial crises and identities shattered, the veil lifted completely and the world will never be the same. I’m that in-between, that utters a chuckle when a 2020…

The Beginner’s Guide to Being Lonely

“Healthy love requires humans to build up each other’s backbones. You strongly identify with your intimate relationships. If you can figure out how to, claim your place in the void.”- Co-Star So here I am, in the dark, streams of tears, face down on the bed again. My mental state…
