55 notes &
Sometimes I wake up panicked. The only thing I can think about are terrorists and car wrecks and burning my toast. My heart won’t slow down and I can’t even dream of facing the day. But, I have to. I have to fix these blueberry waffles and make these paper animals like I promised her I would. I have to go to work. I have to move along and just hope my brain gets with it. And I miss shooting photos and I miss being able to afford Friday IHOP. I miss working out and Netflix. I’m building up from square one. I can be whoever I want. It’s scary, but it’s exciting too. I’m terrified every single day. I’m also not bound. I have everything to live for, as long as I can convince myself to wake up.
He taught me what it meant to be actually and fully loved. That’s how I knew I had to leave. I couldn’t let circumstance be my narrator anymore. And now I’m just too exhausted for any of it. I don’t want anybody, even when I really do. I’m still trying to make sense of how it is to live like this and why I have to do it.
Beautifully sad.
