Thinking of how writings and bathrooms have become my safe spaces, to the point where I can be around other people, and instead just go to a bathroom and just write, but it's also a balancing act, the act of trying not feel everything at once lest you break down...And how to actually allow your emotions to flow and let them not define you. It's an uncomfortable, comfortable safe space where I know this writing helps, but I don't would rather not feel anything, life is weird but true like that, we are all somewhat prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we at certain points in our lives are all defined by something we cannot change

love at the cost of yourself

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself

I wish I could regret that day

But, darling I can't

I wish I could hate you

And say that's true

But I wouldn't change a thing

Not even change the kisses that

We never had

In fact I would take you

Hug you and never let go

Though I'd prefer a kiss

I wish thing's repeated themselves

Just once

I would get the feeling

I so long ache

I wish thing's repeated themselves this just this once

I miss the time's and most of all I miss you
