Away from Home

this life is mine it did not come to me I chose it I fought for it even the mistakes and the bad days and the regrets they’re all mine

& you know what it actually IS lifechanging to smile at strangers & say please & thank you & goodmorning & compliment someones outfit & help someone in need & be more accepting of loving other people just because they are other people!!!

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

we are on borrowed time, choose people who choose you. most importantly people who give you their time and genuinely love you. let go and let everyone else be.
