“i left my heart with my phone in my centre console, i left my feelings with my wallet & my keys. i feel so stupid because i came here without anything, but a day’s worth of bitching goes down the drain when you lay in my bed & pick my brain”.

take every ¢ you would have spent replacing things you smashed when you were angry, and spend them on a holiday.



have you ever thought about what would happen if you took every single moment you’ve spent being angry. every minute you’ve spent arguing with someone, crying in piles of words on your floor. every hour you’ve spent on resentment, spinning circles of bitterness inside your head. what if you took all of that time and used it towards something positive?

precisely.

“i just needed you to lift me up, like you did when we were younger when the lightening & the thunder had me clinging to your heart. you’ll forever be my father, & i’ll be saving tears in jars for this one.”

“dear, you know i fear i’m growing weak. i left you in the dark for a bottle, & cheap company. you took me home, gave me a bed - or half of yours, at least - & my god, that was good enough for me.

we’d sleep until the evening sun had burnt, & stay away until the neighbours left next morning for work. the first time that we slept i felt my life rewind, & a nervous child replaced the ageing fool i left behind.

you put your faith in me, & i let you down. but i feel so sure & i’ll keep holding on, because we are young, & we are free. &, my god, that’s still good enough for me.”

i’ve been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks, forever in debt to your priceless advice.”



“you’re going to catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul.”
