If Hurting Me Does Not Hurt You, You Don’t Love Me. You’re Using Me.

I want someone who admires me with the same intensity as they admire the moon and the stars.

“You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love. Just as you cannot pick which parts of me you accept.”

— Sarah J. Maas

I’m scared of nothing

of the thought that this is it

my life that has gone to complete fucking shit

while I lay here, not dead

I look at the stars

and convince myself I’m connected to mars

because life sucks

and I’m too scared of nothing

to actually fucking do something

unlike my mother

I will not pray

I’ll probably make up some conspiracy

I won’t sleep

the nightmares keep me awake

I can’t help that every smile is fake

I cry every night

to deal with the stress

because no one cares that I’m fucking depressed

You once made a promise to yourself: if you ever met a time traveler, it wouldn't be a big deal. You’d tell them the date, the most important political conflict, a recent technology, and send them on their way. You now encounter a time traveler nearly every week.

stay safe because i like being alive at the same time as you.

“You can run, run, run away from a lot of things in life, but you can’t run away from yourself. And the key to happiness is to understand and accept who you are.”
