“Because that’s the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don’t want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lungs. I want to mature it, grow it, cultivate it. It’s mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped up in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time”

talking to someone every single day can be pretty destructive because there will come a day where you don’t speak at all and it’s going to be the loneliest feeling in the world

He wasn’t a bad person

he really wasn’t

I knew he was good

and maybe that’s why

I held on for so long

Even when he would

spit his words at me like venom

Constantly picking me apart

no matter what I did

because I believed the best in him

all the moments together weren’t bad

that’s why I took each and every blow

of his words and criticism

until I couldn’t anymore

until I finally broke

he had demons that he let control his life

and I tried to take those away and fix him

my god I tried but I failed

because I learned no matter how much love

you put into someone doesn’t matter

if they don’t love themselves

you can never make someone happy

who isn’t happy with themselves

no matter how hard you try

You can’t pour light into someone

who surrounds themselves in darkness
