and promise me this

There will always be those who want to tell you who you are based on your name or the blood in your veins. Do not let other people decide who you are. Decide for yourself.

They called you golden boy and pushed you up to heavens to live amongst the stars. But you couldn’t bear the weight of the universe so you crumbled and you fell. And you burned. And you burn.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.

They forced poison under your skin and your veins started glowing with starlight. They left bruises on your heart and yet it still kept beating. They dragged you into the darkness and you came out shining.

Oh, that sweet, innocent boy, He deserved every star in the sky. But all he got was the remaining stardust of a life that could have been. The darkness killed the stars in his heart, and turned them into black holes in his mind. He’s been drowning in an empty universe for so long, He’s not sure what’s real anymore.

Please forgive me if I don’t talk much at times. It’s loud enough in my head.

Darling, just because you’re used to being sad, that doesn’t mean that you’re never going to search for things that’ll make you truly happy.
