and i'd really, really like to believe that there's someone out there reading all this. reading this and rooting for me to make it through this. because if not, then what am i even doing here?
Your eyes are so lively that they dance like humans underneath the starry sky.

Not everything beautiful needs to make sense
day 6
12:05 p. m.
where do all these tears come from. where do they keep coming from. don't you see i have else to do? don't you see nobody has the time to be in pain?
it's been a while since you left
well, two months, five days, seven hours and thirty-five minutes to be exact
it takes one minute for your heart to stop beating in the absence of oxygen
another six for all you cells to degenerate
after that, even your brain gives up on you
and you die
i don't know what my brain is waiting for
'you suffocate me', your note said
'i'm suffocating here', i wanted to tell you
but you never stayed long enough
now i don't know how to tell you this
but for the past six months, you've been my only reason to smile
and this might seem like poetry to you
but i'm not feeling beautiful
if you look into that gratitude jar
you'll find it full of your name
so i'm sorry if my love suffocated you
but please come back
i need to breath now
So I attach myself to people who are not those who are long gone or those who were never here and I listen to bands whose members are dead and movies that no one else watched and I talk to characters from books and stories and tell of my sorrows to the words for they don’t come to me telling me to be someone I’m not expecting me to do things I’m not capable of
home really is the strangest of all places. you only ever seem to have one as a child. older, and you wish to run away. the first place you wish to run away from, no matter how much you proclaim to love it. it is only when you do leave, when you need a home thr most, that it ceases to be home anymore. it is only when you yearn for it more than anything you have ever yearned for, that you cannot recognize it anymore. you wish for home, but home doesn't feel like home anymore. you wish for your mother's arms, but she is not the mother you grew up with. or maybe she is and you simply do not recognize her anymore. when you go back, you run away again. and again, and again, and again. running away and away and away. towards home. wherever it may be.
idek these days. are these happy? or are these sad? ig these are the middle days... the normal days that normal people have, when they follow their schedules and do normal people things. but like, who even are these nornal people? who here does not have something hurting them at any given point in time? who here does not get days and weeks and months when they just... can't. i can't believe that exists at all. but maybe it does, who am i to judge. maybe i would like to be there someday. someday...
day 14
11:11 p. m.
the words escape me tonight. stranger reading this, won't you forgive me tonight? i have no words for you. but do you even listen? do you even read?
i feel like radio... except radio had someone listening to them. radio had frances and february and thousands listening to them. who do i have? does my voice even exist?
all this love would make sense if it wasn't for me
day 10
10:59 p. m.
my hearts yearns for something it has never had. something it's not even sure exists. it searches and searches. in songs in languages it doesn't yet know and in people's last words. in stories written ages ago. in sunsets and stars long dead. i don't know what it wishes for. perhaps a way out of this world. dear heart, where would you like to go? dear heart, will you be happy there?
