the past few years of my life have been hell, i can promise you that.

but what i can also promise you is that i have learned more than i ever did in school.

i've learned to admire the sunsets, because they last longer than people do.

i've also learned that the human heart can break in so many more ways than just in half.

i've learned that sometimes scarring your wrists over and over again can make you feel so much better than a therapist patting your back and telling you it's going to be okay and that sometimes you sink because you're swimming someplace new.

but i learned that what the therapist doesn't tell you,

is that perhaps you're just god damn drowning.
