this sun don't shine when i'm alone

oh my frog

i simply do not dream of labor

you don't have to start your day in the morning. i start at 5 pm sometimes and let me tell you, doing something almost always feels better than doing nothing. it doesn't have to be big or important. it doesn't have to be too much to handle. it's enough to wash your face, or comb out your hair. if you feel tired, it's enough to make a list of things you want to do tomorrow. don't let the clock hold you back. it's a piece of glass and plastic. you get to decide what a day is.

I gotta take some time to grow But I don’t wanna let you go How did we get too comfortable? I gotta take some time to grow But without you, I’m miserable.
