i want to take all of my emotions and put them in a box much like pandora's,
i want to put it in that damn box and tie it with a cute bow.
i want to take that stupid box and set it adrift on the mississippi river.
i don't want to feel anything ever again for as long as i live.
i drown in my emotions all the time so it only makes sense that i drown them.
i want to be free.
letting go of the past isn't as easy as i thought it would be.
why did i even think this would be easy?
i've been doing everything.
i've been trying so hard.
i probably have more to learn from all of this but i'm so sick of the lessons.
i know they'll help me, in the long run, to stop myself from making these same mistakes.
i should do a little more self-reflecting and stop avoiding that because it's inevitable.
i have life lessons to learn.
i need to become a better person because who i am simply isn't cutting it anymore.
nobody wants to keep me around!
become the best version of myself...eventually.
put those lessons in a glass jar and dust it often so i never forget them.
never repeat those silly mistakes.
learn from them.
don't be a fool as i have been.
