The emptiness returns along with the occasional heartache.
At times I find myself questioning my birth, why was I born if I wasn’t built for life?
Why are we born only to die?
Since my first breath, I’ve been destined to fail, to ruin everything I touch.
It was my destiny to live a life full of emptiness and pain.
I wasn’t created for this life. I am too weak, too dumb, too “close-minded.”
No matter how hard I try, I know I won’t survive.
One way or another I was always meant to die.
~ Jacqueline Acuna
We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.

i thought depression looked like sitting in the shower, sounded like exhalation, the silence of the hour. i thought it carried the scent of worn clothes, unbrushed teeth, i’m only taught to see your symptoms, not what lies beneath. i've learned that pain is present in the loudest in the room, filling something, lacking, avoiding time alone, in gloom. i'm sorry that it took so long for the world to understand we’re not all collapsing on the floor, just asking for a hand.

With the way that I am singing these love songs, I bet my mom thinks I must be in love with some boy. The jokes on her I am singing about 2 characters that I believe are in love to get in the mood to write a fluffy fic.
