“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realise you didn’t paint it very well.”

_Richard Siken

the 27th of February:

Stuffed words, suffocating within me.. I've been restless, longing to write, my silence weighing heavily on my shoulders, my thoughts are crammed. Yet, I'm at a loss for words, unable to express anymore. The self-loathing is worse than ever, and the malignance around me is profoundly affecting me, poisoning my spirit.

#suffocation #its late April now.. #when will this end

unfortunately if you are an old friend of mine i will always care about you no matter what even if we haven't seen each other in forever because i still remember what you were like 7 years ago and i still remember how it felt to be young with you and i still have a lot of love for you in the back of my mind
