sing along and be prepared

i'll keep saying this - it's natural. it was natural, and good, and easy. his car is a little spaceship. so futuristic with it's blue lights and compact nature. he bought me a diet coke, and we flew into space away from everything we knew.

anxiety. just that word makes my heart race, and i am sick of it. i want to be free to talk about blood, to think about flying. to walk into hospitals. to not worry about you or being there. to not feel anxious about anything. to not lose my appetite. i take those little drops under my tongue and it's gone. sometimes. or it makes my knees quiver incessantly.

let me open my armssssssssss

i hate that you don't write. i check everyday. "take this life".
this was you and me.

next week we graduate.
my hands are dyed.

the sleeping sickness

the morning rolls in
"coom coom chow" were some of the first words out of my mouth, and that's all i remember about my dream. my mom tried to wake me up and my eyes wouldn't open without watering, they were so red. and swollen.
last night was the first night in a while that i didn't have to take tylenol before sleeping because of my jaw. that's a nice feeling.

today's been so long.

i'm done with my finals at occc, thank the Lord. feels like such a relief. i never have to go back to that school again. i'm going to usao, officially. have i said this? i have to pay for it, but if it's supposed to happen, it will. it's in God's hands.

tomorrow.
dreamers art show.

i'm falling asleep.

gives me hope for the best in everyone

it's natural. you invited me to come to the soccer game with you and your friend. you were appalled that i declined, and you texted me after the game. you asked what i was doing, and i was reading Winter of Our Discontent with mariah around her black trunk. you were short, and i asked why. "well i was going to come say hii buttt you are at mariahs but das okayy :)"

we started to share secrets,
sort of backwards, none of it made sense and we were just filling the empty spaces.
there was silence, and no words.
i confessed that i missed you.
deep breath, and keep reading chapter two of this book on my bed.
your turn and you said, "umm i've missed hanging out with you and lately i have been thinkin about some stuff"
"stuff?"
"idk just stuff... :) but i'm about to pass out, i'll talk to you tomorrow"
followed by his goodnights and sleep wells.
i try to pull it out of him. we make plans to see each other this weekend?
"just thinking about what would of happened with us if i wasn't an idiot and just some of the good times we hadd"
"honestly, been on my mind lately too."
"i just don't know if that a good or bad thing to be doin. ya know?"
"story of my life. good because we both miss each other. bad because what do we even want?"
"that and just summer and college is so close and i just don't think it's a good idea to get close to anyone"
"you leave so soon. fuuuuck what are we doing. but we can't plan anything. what happens happens. :/ Gods will"

where will we go. do we disappear? even as much as he screwed me over, i'm attached to him. i hate hate hate to admit that, but it's honest and raw. it made my stomach drop when he told me he's moving in less than two months.
i hate that.
i HATE that i am so gentle and compassionate sometimes. but it's all i haveeeeeeee. it's all i knowwww. it's all i will ever know. and he's a part of my heart. even after his screw ups and how he can be such a jerrrrrrk, i can always see into him, straight to his heart. that's there somewhere.

he said, "just gotta stay in touch ya know? i guess we will really figure out how much we care about each other next year and so forth"

i could cry.
and my stomach is turning.

more about being 3 minutes away when we're back home.

"we'll be in the same state. we could still see each other if we really wanted"
"opposite sides of the state haha but yess we will come back home though and just be 3 mins awayy :)"

i hate that this blog is all about this conversation because i had such a good day today.

God. It's in Your hands. Where am I going.

all of this was worth it

you know, it's gotten back to the point where this isn't small talk.
it's natural. if a conversation is ended, you spark up another one.
when did this become the case and why is this happening again?
my red light blinks and "Don't." is what comes up on my inbox.
Don't.
Don't.
Don't.
But I continue to.

rescue remedy

new herbal remedy
in my stream of flow.
the smell of your smoke,
eucalyptus skin
flaking off like
winters dry
arms.

ocean rope

i dream and pretend that
i'm at the ocean,
i can almost feel the wind and the sand.
i dream about moving in with mariah
i dream about who i'm going to meet
she dreamt about the cupboard full of blankets.
the house that went underground with the greenhouses.

i'm even dreaming of going to that school.
it isn't for sure, but i'm walking on faith everyday.
it'd be my gust of wind that i need to extend.

i met a girl named Bri Lyon today who'd been in my class this whole time. we have the same gauges and we know the same people. smallllll world.

my eyes are heavy and i could've been sleeping hours ago.

hours have past and i've disappeared
into the ocean.

wonder what i'll learn,
who i'll become, and what will we do?

I got accepted into USAO yesterday and my parents showed no excitement.
wish wish wish
