Necessary To Avoid Unnecessary Pain

“We’re not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again.” - Pink

Birthdays are Golden.

I want one everyday,

But this will reduce its value.

So let everyone around me, contribute a golden day to me

364 friends.

Look at me, hold on to me.

We started out as friends

We remained friends for a while

And then something else

Something extra, something happy.

The whispers started then

Knowing looks thrown out way

Disapproving frowns shot from behind books

The strain set in.

You didn't care

You decided that the whole world could wag their tongues

You weren't going to leave your dear friend because of their ideas

You said, "it's not true so what's the use"

I did care

Because, you see, what they said was true

I stopped seeing you as just a friend a while ago.

I'm forced to realize that I felt that magic alone

I told you how I felt

And how I hated feeling that way

And how I wanted to disappear from your life

You assured me that all will be well

And now, when we've grown apart

And I can no longer meet your eyes across the hall

I wish you would hold me, draw me to your side, stop me from slowly and surely disappearing

I wish you would say the words I long to hear

And during the long lonely nights

I have a lot of regrets

I shouldn't have expressed my feelings, I shouldn't have had feelings

I shouldn't have destroyed what relationship was there between us.

Books And Quotes

No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world withou

Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes (via books-n-quotes)

That elusive freedom

I swear😩

I ask you to never forget

And you say that you won’t

Not ever

But child

Oh, sweet child

You will

You will forget so much

And that’s okay

Because one day

You will remember

And when you do

There will be no stopping you

For real

Even though it frustrates me, I understand why healthy people try to say that they’re sore too when I mention my chronic pain. They’re trying to empathize. But they can’t. They have no way of knowing what it feels like to be in such pain every day.

You can’t compare a paper cut to a battle wound.
