Explore Moving around outside my comfort zone finding experiences I normally wouldn’t seek; existing in my own space… Feeling out the vibes that most align with my current energy. 270522
I don’t even think about you anymore; You’re more a fleeting thought or a passing memory these days; And even scrolling past a picture of us or you doesn’t hit my heart as hard as it once did – Now I’m just… grateful, and wish you the best. My scars are healing and the triggers …
The Internet told me it gets better with time and I want to feel this, this… better they speak of; Seems like every time I’m close enough to reach it, touch it, be it it’s snatched away. Or, maybe it runs… Either way, all I’ve ever known is pain, and confusion. I just want to …

How’s life? I don’t really know, I – Can I get back to you on that? I’ve been writing about it in my mind of what it is, what it could be, what it has been and there are vast imbalances between its scales. But this story isn’t done yet so I just keep writing …
I think I’m ready now to face down my shadows; The ones that burrow deep and that I attempt to run and hide from even in my sleep. I’m not afraid of what they’ll reveal, not even fearful of what they’ll make me feel. I don’t  worry about how they’ve marred my soul – I determined long …
