You start finding meaning in meaningless conversation.

I wasn't looking for love
but I found it in your smile

the world has so few
kindnesses left
I mistake each one
for fate.

words, words, words.

Don't apologize
for nights when you cry
over quiet films
or loud novels
or nothing at all.
Who was the douche that
decided emotion
was supposed to be caged?

It took me 18 years to be okay with how the world works. After 216 months I've finally realized that it's okay to be sad when other people are happy, it's okay to be happy when other people are sad. It took me six thousand, five hundrend and seventy days for me to be okay with people leaving, for me to accept that that's just the way life has to be at times. Sometimes the people we love leave, sometimes we only see that we loved them after they're already gone. After 157785 hours I've decided that i'm okay with that. This is the way things are. I've also realized that maybe, just maybe..the people that matter will never really leave you. And i'm okay with that, too.

alive.

feeling.

its pressing into your skin and leaving a mark.

sitting in the ocean as the waves tug and pull you.

riding a hundred rollercoasters in a day and remembering the exact feeling as you lay in bed.

when the one walks out of your life leaving your heart in a million pieces.

feeling cannot be unfelt.

only forgotten with time, time and more time.

we are here.

we are living.

I've spent a lot of time with people who didn't even deserve a second.
