Good night,
Sleep tight,
Wake up bright
In the morning light
To do what's right
With all your might.

"You know, when he takes really long showers, you realize he's probably not just enjoying the water? He's probably sitting on the bathroom floor, back facing the door, staring at his palms, wondering what the hell he's doing. He's sixteen, it's the middle of the school year and he thousands of miles from home. How confused do you think he is? His brother died two years ago, and he's still not over it, yet on top of that, he lost his sister this year too. He's probably patting his pockets, looking for a razor, but not for his face, to drag across his skin. Have you seen his arms? Have you seen the scar etched into the crook of his elbow? "Worthless." He's the most sad he's ever been when he's with you, because you remind him of everything wrong in his life. You remind him of the sad conversations at 4am, because that's all there was between the two of you. You were just best friends. And now, he probably misses his ex. He heard you liked him, and he thought about the fact that he was so close to you, that he missed you so much, that he mistaked it for love. He knows he's not in love with you. You know it too. That's what he's doing. He's staring at his palms, and tears are welling up in his eyes, and he reaches for the shower because he needs to scold his skin under boiling hot water. He's desperately trying to feel something. By now, he's probably standing under the boiling hot water, tears streaming down his face, and he whispers softly to himself, "you need to keep it together." Come here, if you press your ear against the door, I bet you could hear him let out one sob. That's when he's momentarily lost control. There won't be any other sobs, he's regained his control. He's gonna finish washing himself, he's gonna towel off his hair, and he's going to walk out of that bathroom with a ridiculous grin plastered on his face. I would know, I've been there so many times."

when i say that i dislike myself,
people usually assume i'm talking about my appearance. i mean, the compliments on my hair and my flat stomach are uplifting and i very much appreciate them. but i feel like no one acknowledges me and who i really am, and that's what gets me. i dislike myself when i study hard for a class only to receive Cs and Ds whereas my classmates can barely open a book and receive an A. i am still not happy about my difficulty with connecting with others. i am tired of not even fitting in with the outcasts. i dislike myself when my anxiety takes a hold of me to the point where i can't even defend myself. i appreciate the people who try to make me feel better, i really do. and of course, i know i shouldn't use others people's opinions of me to determine my own opinion of myself. but often times they do not understand that i am fighting this battle with my brain, my soul; not necessarily the construct of flesh and bones i was placed into. this is why it hurts to always feel so different, so alone that you feel like no one is on your side. i just wish that someone could actually know the real me and appreciate it.

“
oh my god, what if you wake up some day, and you're 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn't go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It's going to break your heart.
don't let this happen.

If you're expecting me
TO GIVE YOU AN APOLOGY
for being nothing
that you're used to,
go right on ahead and wait;
hold your breath and concentrate;
KEEP HOLDING TILL YOUR FACE
turns blue.

“It’s taboo to admit that you’re lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven’t left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. Ha ha, funny. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you’re not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are.
A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn’t transition well to adult life, that you’d fall right through the cracks. And look at you now. La di da, it’s happening.
Your mother, your father, your grandparents: they all look at you like you’re some prized jewel and they tell you over and over again just how lucky you are to be young and have your whole life ahead of you. “Getting old ain’t for sissies,” your father tells you wearily.
You wish they’d stop saying these things to you because all it does is fill you with guilt and panic. All it does is remind you of how much you’re not taking advantage of your youth.
You want to kiss all kinds of different people, you want to wake up in a stranger’s bed maybe once or twice just to see if it feels good to feel nothing, you want to have a group of friends that feels like a tribe, a bonafide family. You want to go from one place to the next constantly and have your weekends feel like one long epic day. You want to dance to stupid music in your stupid room and have a nice job that doesn’t get in the way of living your life too much. You want to be less scared, less anxious, and more willing. Because if you’re closed off now, you can only imagine what you’ll be like later.
Every day you vow to change some aspect of your life and every day you fail. At this point, you’re starting to question your own power as a human being. As of right now, your fears have you beat. They’re the ones that are holding your twenties hostage.
Stop thinking that everyone is having more s*x than you, that everyone has more friends than you, that everyone out is having more fun than you. Not because it’s not true (it might be!) but because that kind of thinking leaves you frozen. You’ve already spent enough time feeling like you’re stuck, like you’re watching your life fall through you like a fast dissolve and you’re unable to hold on to anything.
I don’t know if you ever get better. I don’t know if a person can just wake up one day and decide to be an active participant in their life. I’d like to think so. I’d like to think that people get better each and every day but that’s not really true. People get worse and it’s their stories that end up getting forgotten because we can’t stand an unhappy ending. The sick have to get better. Our normalcy depends upon it.
You have to value yourself. You have to want great things for your life. This sort of sh*t doesn’t happen overnight but it can and will happen if you want it. Do you want it bad enough? Does the fear of being filled with regret in your thirties trump your fear of living today?
We shall see.”

M y mom and I aren't best friends, we don't tell each other everything, we don't have the ultra close relationship some people have and she doesn't tell me she loves me every day. But she is my mother, my role model and I love her very much. She's strong, she's independent, she's self sacrificing, she's intelligent and beautiful and she has an unconditional ability to love her family. And honestly she doesn't have to tell me she loves me everyday for me to know because actions speak louder than words and it doesn't take a genius to figure out how amazing my mom really is.

It has been said that 'time heals all wounds' I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity; covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons. But its never gone.
