i. fucking. hate. people.
i feel as if i am dying. i’m
so stressed,
so sleep deprived,
so worried,
so scared
that all i feel is numb
like a hardened, cold, mega drone,
incapable of feeling emotion.
should i cry, lest the tears freeze rivets of ice
upon my face?
or best seclude myself, within myself,
and push them all away?
so many feelings, too many feelings,
i feel nothing at all.
Day 30-highs and lows of this month

Day 27-a problem that you've had
i’ve always had a problem with pushing people away and shutting up inside myself. i have a really hard time trusting people, and i’ve found that most of the people i’ve known have let me down. so i keep everything inside and try to deal with it on my own. it doesn’t work, but i don’t know how else to be.

Day 26-what kind of person attracts you
hmmm, lets see. unfortunately i am very picky. but i’d say things that attract me are
a nice, understanding, and accepting personality. i’m sorry, but if you are a jerk that is the biggest turn off ever. i don’t care how cute you are.
blue or green eyes.
someone with a huge sense of humor, as in likes weird things like me.
someone who can debate and argue with me.

Day 22-how have you changed in the past two years?
two years ago i was…finishing up first semester of junior year? wow. i would say the past two years have been a series of extreme ups and downs. i think ive changed for the better in the sense that im not so introverted anymore. college especially has made me way more outgoing, but i still have my moments of uncertainty. some days i feel like i more together than ever, some days i feel like...
this lullaby
the fireflies buzzed along at sunset, filling the air with moon dust while the children ran across dewy grass. feeling the magic of summer. but they sit alone together, her sweetly, softly singing, her lullaby. her notes give the warmth the sun had stolen away avec se couche du soliel. her lips tremble as she draws the bundle closer to her heart. whispering promises, strong words. i will protect...
it’s time to stop hurting.
time for no regrets.
it’s time to stop crying
time to stop dying.
it is time to start living again.
