i know what it’s like to want the world
and to want it now
to want it all at once
the anxiety that gradually resurfaces
and makes you restless for the rest of the day
the feeling of needing to get out there
and do something
change something
make something new simply happen
for yourself, for others, or for both
or else you’ll just lose your mind
internally combust
spiral down into an existential vacuum
that right there
all of that
is the calm before the storm
the flicker before the flame
it means you have plans, dreams, goals
that may be bigger than you currently have the capacity
to comprehend entirely
it’s a good feeling, don’t be mistaken
you should trust it, follow it
because it means you have in you the
desire to live

25 things I learnt in the midst of my suffering
1- when push comes to shove you always only have yourself.
2- Those who promised to always be by your side through thick and thin are going to leave.
3- No boy is going to swoop in to come and save you, when it doesn’t work out you will be left crying harder than before on your bathroom floor.
4- You’re going to want to give up, but don’t.
5- Quit holding back, say what you need to even if you make a dick out of yourself at least you know you tried.
6- Put down the fucking bottle, why are you doing this to yourself? Do you really think drinking yourself unconscious is going to help.
7- Other people’s opinions do not define who you are, don’t let what they say about you get you down.
8- It’s okay to want attention but don’t go exploiting yourself for it.
9- Stop putting on an act for everyone, you don’t have to pretend every moment you’re around people to be happy, all you are doing is damaging yourself even more.
10- Your mood is going to go up and down, let it. Feel whatever the hell you’re feeling.
11- It’s okay to take a few days off school for your mental health, you come first, education second.
12- Love isn’t the way media portrays it to be, there is no happily ever afters only a broken heart and damaged trust.
13- You are not your depression or anxiety. It does not define you. There is so much more to you than the mess inside your head.
14- As you get older you’ll notice more people starting to leave, let them. You never need someone who doesn’t need you.
15- You don’t have to be like her for someone to love you, the right person will love you for who you are.
16- Not everyone’s intentions are good always remember that.
17- It’s not the end of the world just because a boy left you.
18- Never wear your heart on your sleeve, unless you want to get taken for granted.
19- Get up even when you don’t want to, get in the shower, life goes on.
20- Just cry, stop being so ashamed of your emotions, let it out, if you feel like you’re needing to hold it back you’re with the wrong people.
21- Don’t push people away because you’re scared, you can’t expect everyone to come running back.
22- Friends lie, boyfriends cheat, your parents will break you, it’s all apart of life.
23- Don’t beat yourself up to much over one bad grade, you are doing the best you can.
24- If you’re waiting for your phone to light up turn it off and leave it off for awhile, your unnecessarily breaking your heart every minute that goes by without their name coming up.
25- Try not to let fear paralyse you too much. Life is about taking chances.

let me tell you something:
no one is going to look at you, broken and shattered
and think -
damn, you are beautiful.
no one is going to come pick up your broken pieces off the floor and
assemble them into a beautiful whole.
hell,
you won’t even look at yourself and think -
I made broken look beautiful.
you know why?
because all those writers lied to you.
yes,
all those with their poems of scraped knuckles and
blood dripping down chins,
pomegranate songs and loves that ripped through you like
hurricanes.
liars.
so you and i,
we are going to make a plan.
you are not going to romanticize days when your brain tells you to smash that mirror,
you are not going to romanticize the lover who doesn’t understand you
but still writes about you.
here is what you are going to romanticize instead:
you are going to romanticize the first day of spring,
its gentle hands all over your body,
lifting you up until you are as light as a feather.
you are going to romanticize the tea and honey kind of love,
no hurricanes,
but sunshine that builds you up from within,
that helps you make it through the worst days.
you are going to romanticize gentle hands of a friend
in yours,
telling you that it is going to be okay.
because it is.
and don’t trust poets,
we’re no good,
we love pretending that our jagged edges tantamount to a beautiful disaster, but in reality -
there ain’t nothing beautiful about shaky hands holding a cigarette and
empty eyes staring at the cracks in the walls.
you know what is beautiful, instead?
the days when you can look at yourself in the mirror and smile,
scars and all.
music that makes your soul flow like a river,
books that offer comfort,
families flocking together like overgrown birds to keep you safe and warm,
friends that give you strength when you can find none,
lovers who make you laugh through tears.
baby,
from now on
you are going to romanticize healing;
honey dripping down your fingertips,
August nights that stick to your skin,
the day you find your purpose,
long car rides and singing so loud that no one can shut you up now.
bad news:
no one is coming to save you.
good news:
you can save yourself.

A few things I've learned along the way
• Beauty is defined by how good your soul is and has almost nothing to do with your outside appearance.
•Stop thinking the world owes you something. It was here first and you simply exist within it. If you want something badly enough, put in hard work to get it
•Negative and hateful people are poison to the mind. Stay far away from people like that
•Drinking to have fun is okay but drinking to drown out your sorrows is a recipe for disaster
• Stop being so hard on yourself. There isn’t a single perfect person on this planet, so take a deep breath and stop taking shit so seriously
•Try and rid yourself of negative thoughts. This is easier said than done, but life will become a lot more enjoyable and you’ll become a much happier and confident person once you have positive thoughts in your head
•Stop judging others simply because they walk a different path than you. We are all unique individuals, so it only makes sense that we don’t all live our lives the same way
•Find a hobby to help yourself from going batshit crazy
•Shitty things are going to happen to you in life and that’s inevitable, but how you deal with them shows the depth of your character.
•Never stay stuck in the past, your mind will rot there. Always live for the now and set yourself up for the future. Take the bad things that happened to you in the past and use it as a stepping-stone to further your self growth
• Really listen to your parents when they give you advice and don’t just dismiss what they say. Granted some mistakes you have to make on your own, but there are so many things I could’ve avoided that my parents warned me about. Remember, they were your age once and they both did dumb stuff too. Most likely their advice comes from experience and I promise you they only want to see you be happy and go far in life
