him: it's just been... you know... like I honestly have moments where I don't want to live anymore. but then i think about all the things I haven't done, and I realize that I just can't die right now, you know? i want to die but i just can't.
me: I know. I've used to have those moments all the time. but you know what I hate? when you tell people that you don't want to live and they all say the same thing - "life is worth living and you're a wonderful person"
him: hahahahaha I know, it's the most generic reply ever. hahahahaha "wonderful person"
me: i know it's like... fuck, that's not what I want to hear. because obviously, I don't think life is worth living, and obviously I don't think I'm a wonderful person, and just because you say it, doesn't make it true.
him: yeah, but..... you ARE a wonderful person.
me: hahahaha I know. I really am, aren't I? You're wonderful too.
him: yeah, we're both pretty wonderful.
me: yeah, we are. so I guess we should just live, right?

I just want someone to share poetry with. Is that too much to ask? How come everyone I know hates poetry? Why can’t we all love poetry and post poetry on facebook and talk about poetry and read poetry to each other and do all that fun poetry stuff?
why can’t someone just like poetry as much as I do?

remember always that YOU have control- over who you are and how you feel and what you’re going to become. it’s all you. don’t let them convince you that it’s something bigger than you, or something that you won’t be able to conquer. no, you have control. take charge. you can do it.

sometimes I wish I was a character in Hemingway’s the Sun Also Rises, and I’d do nothing but get ‘tight’, and just fool around trying not to feel anything.
…totally broken and dysfunctional… but numb.

there comes a point where you realize that optimistic thinking is just self deception. nothing is really as great as you make yourself believe it to be.
