Pretty. Odd. || RYDEN

Six

I woke up at 12:30 on Wednesday, my only day off in the middle of the week which I planned on spending in bed with my laptop. I checked my phone and with the tons of notifications there was only one I paid attention to; one (1) new message from whothefrickisbeebo

whothefrickisbeebo: platonic soulmates have to be real because like there are so many good things in that you cant explain, its like destiny, but i don't buy into the entire 'forever' thing because like ????? you only have one forever and that is yourself. like you can have partners and friends and even parents but in the end they all leave and die and stuff but the only person you truly have /forever/ is yourself so you need to learn and accept yourself. does that make sense? idk I tried explaining it the best i could

ryro: It does make a lot of sense actually and I kind of wish someone would've told me that when I was a young emo child. Do you mind if I post that on my blog because it's kind of beautiful and everyone should read that. I can blur your url out if you like.

With that I put my phone down and headed for a cup of coffee. I sat down by the window and lit a smoke watching the early September weather. Sometimes you need to enjoy the small things in life, like a morning cigarette and coffee. I'm lost in watching the clouds float by when a camera going off pulls me out of my day dream. "That'll look cool on your tumblr," Pete says handing me the polaroid picture of me and its beautiful and artistic. It's just me sitting in a pale blue sweater, coffee in one hand cigarette in the other watching the sky and I don't understand what pulls me toward it, it's minimal and yet, it's full of emotion.

I place it on the ledge by my cactus and snap a picture if it on my phone, uploading it along with a caption that says: 'enjoy the simpler things in life'

My phone pings and I go to my messages and at the top of the list is one new message from whothefrickisbeebo

whothefrickisbeebo: yeah you can totally put that on your blog! i think itd be real helpful to a lot of people just don't include my identity because i kinda dont like attention. and you're right, we do need to enjoy the simpler things in life babyboy

ryro: if I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to flirt with me x

One (1) new post from ryro:

"I don't believe in forever because all your relationships end, your parents, partners, friends, they all leave or eventually will die but the only person you have from day one is yourself, the only true 'forever' you have is yourself, that's why you need to learn to love yourself"

- Words by a close friend x

whothefrickisbeebo: you have a way with words babyboy, you even made the whiskey-induced nonsense I said into something poetic. its a gift, dont waste it.

whothefrickisbeebo: ooh, 'close friend' i like it

whothefrickisbeebo: and for the record, yes i am trying to flirt. is it working ?  :) x
