THINGS I WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME:

Not all heartbreak will be romantic, that doesn't make it less worthy to grieve

Some days you will wake up fearing the longevity of life - it is okay to be afraid

There will be mornings when you will curl in upon yourself a [hollow] scared mess trembling from the alertness of the light. On those days pick a color to paint the light and walk in the shadow of its hue.

The brain is marvelous in its complex [fear-] inducing tricks but don't forget every magician's secret is eventually unveiled

You are allowed to cry

You are also allowed to scream bloody murder in every shade of blood red possible

Do [not] built your worth on the validation you seek in others

When you feel the days in an hour and minutes in seconds, take life one step at a time - every small goal is worth celebrating

[Your] fingers and legs will mark you a flight risk even as your mind screams for you to fight

You can be disappointed in those you love

People will not always stay and sometimes their silhouette will be imprinted in your memory long after you've forgotten their voice

Being [heart]broken does not make you weak, it makes you human

Learning to love yourself is botany - there will always be a new discovery awaiting in the wilderness of your being
