Friend: i can’t imagine how you’re dealing with this

“I know life well enough to know you can’t count on things staying around or standing still, no matter how much you want them to. you can’t stop people from dying. you can’t stop them from going away. you can’t stop yourself from going away either.”

My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.

I’ll walk forever with stories inside me that the people I love the most can never hear.

Survivors have scars. Victims have graves.

I don’t think people love me. They love versions of me I have spun for them, versions of me they have construed in their minds. The easy versions of me, the easy parts of me to love.
