Life as a daydream

[Life as a daydream]

People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.

I don’t know what makes a writer, but it probably isn’t happiness.

All great and precious things are lonely.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don’t expect it.

My mother said the cure for thinking too much about yourself was helping somebody who was worse off than you.

[Life as a daydream]

i am kind of just existing,
breathing gently,
walking lightly,
and i am trying so hard,
so very, very hard,
not to disturb a thing,
but i am always too heavy,
too present,
leaving a trail
everywhere i go,
and sometimes
i just want
to be forgotten.
these days,
i just want to not be seen.

[Life as a daydream]

I’m trying to live this “normal” life that is just not fulfilling me. Get a good job, work all day, and then pay rent. And I am overwhelmed with sadness every night when I lie awake in bed, because I know I’m not doing what I was meant to do. Am I the only one? If this is supposed to make me happy, why do I feel so empty and sad?

[Life as a daydream]

I’ll be honest with you. I’m a little bit of a loner. It’s been a big part of my maturing process to learn to allow people to support me. I tend to be very self-reliant and private. And I have this history of wanting to work things out on my own and protect people from what’s going on with me.

I told him, love is a dirty thing,
That cannot be washed away.
Everything you do leaves a mark,
Even when you’re far away.
