Future I Finally Found

Some days I feel it's not fair to have to spend any time apart from you.

Sometimes we relax on the couch, you sprawled out against me, and I think to myself how you ended up blowing any ideas of what I used to think a relationship would be out of the water.

In those moments, I just savor every second. Sometimes seconds seem to last forever around you, and I feel so thankful for that. That's because I could live a thousand eternities with you and it wouldn't be enough time.

In those moments, I know what it feels to be truly loved. This feeling is never fleeting, because you somehow always make me feel like I matter, and it always makes me want to prove you right.

In those moments, I am feeling more present than I ever have in my life. You make me feel like no matter how I struggled in the past, I can never fall as far down as I once was as long as you're around.

In those moments, I stare at your perfect face and I feel grateful once more that I know someone I can be myself around, someone I can be vulnerable with. I know now how rare that must be, and I wonder how I could be this happy in any other life.

In those moments, I realize I have a reason to think far into the future. I can't be thankful enough you provided me with a way to see tomorrow.

Those nights after we spend the weekends together are some of the saddest in my life currently. It truly is unfair we can't be together always.

The Rocket Ship

Staring at the ceiling, melodies pouring into my eardrums, oh how brightly the synthetic stars shine. The tune so gentle, it makes me feel like I'm flying through the universe. I can almost see it in my head. The track is so crisp, I can hear every detail. The drums are pounding now, pounding in my ear. I think to myself, something is wrong. I think to myself, you overdid it this time. The music now fills me with dread, seeping its soundwaves into my emotions. Now I'm falling, I'm falling and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I tell myself I need to take control, but it does no good. I am not in control. I've lost sight of the stars, and now I don't know the way. My wandering mind went a thousand places in just a second. Some paths are better left untreaded, but I went anyway. I don't know who I am anymore, someone else is at the wheel.  The song. The song is softer now. It soothes my ears, and in turn my mind, and I shove it all back down. I may not be i...

Inevitability

I can fix this. That's what I always tell myself, that's what I thought at the end of the night. I had gone through such a whirlwind of emotions in a short period of time. The breakup happened just three hours before I had to go to work, and then I was left with eight and a half hours of time to myself. How dangerous is that? I can't handle myself alone on a normal day, let alone after a breakup, and not any breakup mind you, my first and only one. Anyways, I've always been good at feeling emotions. I've never cared about letting myself feel things, so throughout the night I did just that. I let myself go through the full range. I kept it together for him in the moment, fell apart afterwards, felt confusion, felt frustration, and sadness all throughout the night. Finally, I felt something very unexpected...hope. Maybe there was a possibility I could do what I always seem to do. I can't remember many situations in the past where words haven't saved the day,...

The Bottom of the Mountain

Cycles. Never-ending. How is it possible to regress so far? I don't even feel like I know who I am anymore. I was so sure not a couple weeks ago, I was making strides. Now I feel as if I've walked off that cliff. Usually I fall to the bottom and climb back up, but this time feels different. I've lost sight of the peak. Furthermore, why should I climb back towards it if I just end up down here every time anyway? It's never-ending. It's exhausting. I'm tired.  This illness feels like it has been eating away at my brain for so long. It hurts. I feel like any concept of self has been stripped away from me. I've been drifting from one day to the next, moment to moment.  It's been over a year now. I'm not any closer to where I wanted to be after school than I was then, or at least it feels that way. I feel behind, I feel like a failure. It's so simple, I don't have to do much. But I fail. I don't even begin. I'm petrified. It's so much ...
