To all the time I spent in 2019

2019 has come to an end and like every crazy ass year before, there's no taking back all the time I've spent on social media scrolling mindlessly for hours instead of reading a book.

Ghosted! What it Means and How it Feels

I'm not gonna lie, being ghosted HURTS! all the sudden no texts, no calls, then there's that dreadful feeling you get the moment you realize you've been blocked without warning.

FOMO

I feel like a language you can't understand, like i'm missing out on life, yours, mine. don't think for a second that my roses are without thorns, i'm low-key in my lane fighting, learning, chasing the dreams hovering within my head space. ...thoughts...mind...power... is anything really worth it though? i keep trying and trying, tossed by …

Highs and Lows

i'm struggling to stay fucking calm, to sober up and realize that you love me despite the highs and lows. i feel like these vices are what keep me in the loop, insane enough, ever ready to send me to mars when life's bullshit stares me point blank in the face. i think i'm obsessed …

The cast aways

Saddled by a life that’s tick tocking away I let him rest his heavy head on my shoulders frail. We’re the cast aways, the bitter scums of an existence riddled with fantasies of suffering and gold. His name is John and mine Meredith, and with hands folded like hooks, we hang on to the noose, …
