The happiness we knew together is gone,

Infinite possibilities
But now there are none.

The mourning hits me in waves. They're further apart now but each one carries the weight of everything we were.
I come apart and you're not there to keep me together.
It's my responsibility now to understand my heart, it's my responsibility to redefine the world.

For everything I know and everything I believe, so much I do is for you
All the emotions I know now,
I've experienced love and I know how

~ my thoughts make more sense in my heart

16 Things I've Learned at 16 💖

Not everyone shares the same ideals you do. Even though one of your priorities has always been being kind to everyone, you have met people whose only aims were to tear other people down. People always change, whether for better or for worse. They only ever willingly change when they can see what they’re doing wrong. Speaking badly about other people only makes you feel worse in the long run. Watch your words; you’re the only one accountable for them. If you find a certain trait that makes you lose respect for someone, deal with it and try your best never to do it yourself. There are some lessons that you have to learn more than once for them to finally stick. Don’t beat yourself up for it. You’re much harder on yourself than you should be. Standing up for yourself is always scary, especially when you feel like you’ll be alone doing so. You don’t have to let people walk all over you because retaliating in some way feels like it could lead to someone getting hurt.  People expr...

Let’s Talk About Bullying

Image
“Chloe” is evil. And horrible. And shouldn’t be alive. 1:29 am; Wednesday, June 10 “Middle school me.” That’s who she’s talking to. “Chloe” wrote this in middle school.  Today I want to talk about bullying. Two days ago, I got into an altercation with a friend of mine. Granted, I said something that remains uncalled for, and even if I was simply speaking my mind, this was not the right time to voice my opinion. Of course, he assumed that I said this just to try and get my way.  My blood ran cold. That wasn’t my intention. As tears welled up in my eyes, I tried to explain what I meant (not very well oops), apologized for hurting him, and ended the conversation shortly after.  But why did the idea that I was being manipulative affect me so much? I knew I wasn’t trying to be manipulative, and that’s the only thing that should matter, right?  And just like that, I’m running in circles in my mind, trying to figure out whether I can trust myself, and whether I’m evil, or h...

Swings

  Every time I sit on a swing set I get taken back to the days when I would fly high; race through the clouds accompanied by my childhood friends. I'm reminded of the way two of us would sit together, or climb the metal bars that held our world together. The way each of us would try to stand while rocking forward and backward, from side to side. A constant rhythm to remind us that some things would always stay the same even a we grew.   But as our heads got further and further from the ground, the closer we grew to our roots. Swing sets became the venue for late night conversations about the things we've learned and the hardships we face. An intersection of two different worlds, intertwining in the most unexpected ways.   So now when I sit on a swing set I do not fly anymore. I am grounded. But with my head still in the clouds I am reminded of how much I've grown.
