“If they love you, they’ll never make you question. They will know the days when you feel terrible because they can see it in your eyes no matter how hard you try to cover it up. They will remember what your favorite color was from that one night you decided to talk about everything. They’ll push back on you on things - not because they’re angry, or they’re stubborn, but because they care about you. Because they know you can do more. They’re not going to be perfect. To be honest with you, love, no one is, there’s going to be a love at first sight or some sort of otherwordly sensation that’ll happen when you first see them, and everyday is not going to feel like rainbows and sunshine and a perfect lifetime, but if they love you, you will give them all your problems and they’ll never call it too much. They’ll never call you too much.”

9. Understand your nervous system
10. Alter your view of the world
Someday you’ll die and nobody will be worried about your weight anymore. They’re gonna be worried about how happy you were. They’re gonna tell stories about the time that you laughed and the time that you were silly and the time that you made them happy. And they’re not gonna be like ‘and this one time, she ate a second piece of cake can you fucking believe it.’

Confusion and emptiness following the post-mortem of us
Because my everyday routine was missing you
But since that stopped, I’m not sure where to go from here
When I loved you so, I longed for you
And now that I’ve recovered, and I have my eyesight back
I don’t know what path to follow
Some call it freedom, but I’m so scared
Didn’t realize my prison was a safe harbor
Didn’t realize my shackles provided stability
When I left, I think you missed me
But I think you slept it off, and moved on to the next
You confess that you loved me, but it wasn’t enough
Not enough to put us first
Not enough to stay
That cut me to the core.
Forced me to put one foot in front of the other
Funny how your words set me free
Funny how your words used to spellbind me
She was the one who you could spend infinite time with
The one who you never needed time away from
Oh.
I lose track of time now
It must been two weeks now, maybe
Maybe more since we last talked
Since last I told you I would never speak to you again
That the silence should be permanent
Like we never existed
It’s past midnight now
And I’m telling strangers on the Internet how I feel
Maybe isolation isn’t always good, I tell myself
So I let people who don’t know me into the most inner private moments of my heart
Now that I have my eyesight back, where do I go?
