the nightmare will stop only if I fall asleep forever
“I’d spent so long trying to fit in, trying to be someone I wasn’t, that I had no idea who I was any more.”
— Dorothy Koomson, The Rose Petal Beach
Touched by fire scent of smoke you are the sinner I'll love most again tomorrow.

dying inside while pretending that everything’s fine
Life is funny isn't it? Just when you think you've got it all figure out, just when you finally begin to plan something, get excited about something, and feel like you know what direction you're heading in, the paths change, the signs change, the wind blows the other way, the north is suddenly south, and east is west, and you're lost. It is so easy to lose your way, to lose direction...
"Love, Rosie"
Movie quote. 🎬
There’s something so bittersweet about August.
About trying to savour those last little bits of the summer. Of the constant ache in your chest. The sunshine. The uncertainty.
I drive by so many empty childhood homes. They look the same, but there’s a solemn silence. You used to live there, remember that? I do.
The summer is ending. The leaves are changing.
But as always, August comes and goes, and with it so do I.
I embrace it, and I embrace you. Crying, and laughing, and saying goodbye with a smile.
(Maybe) I’ll see you again next year
Sincerely,
A girl homesick for a place she hasn’t left yet
