Prideful Suggestion

so long, so long, so long. be proud that you’re still going.

just because something is hard doesn’t mean you’re not slaying it.

there is no ache that hurts so good as the one you get from growing.

so it turns out, recovery is not a one-way street. so it turns out, relapse isn’t either. so it turns out, the most needed journeys just take time.

we are hungry.

you loved me. you were still wrong.

you were born ready for this.

they’ll get over it.

that’s right, look at me. i am a garden.

here, now, i am okay. here, now, i am getting by. all i need to take the world by storm is this: me. here. now. today. tomorrow.

if you need something, say it. if you want something, accept it. you do no one any favors by denying it.

you are awfully good at writing about monsters.

i’m allowed to decide i don’t forgive you anymore.

are you tired? sleep. and then, wake up.

bide your time. you are a snake in the grass.

do you see what happens when you decide to hold on? do you? the scales are balanced in your favor, and you are Venus’ child.

keep going. live up to future you’s vanity.
