"I would just like to say that we've all come a long way and I'm proud of each and everyone of us." Those last words he uttered to us as his senior year came to an end. It's now our job to carry on his tradition. But how the hell do we do that?
How the hell did they become the memories on our posters and yearbook pages? How did we all lose contact? How is it that that we all fail to stay in touch when we know the impact we made on each other?
Tell me, how is it fair that we are left with the legacy those before us set? How do we become the next role models when we aren't ready to let let go of the ones we have? Those who left, placed their marks onto us. Now it is our turn to do the same.
Are we up for the challenge?

"I have been telling myself all this time that I'm fine, that it doesn't matter. But today I saw pictures of her at a family cookout and I just wanted to have been there and to have hugged her and talked with her like we used to before she decided that I wasn't good enough. I wanted to push everyone else out of the picture and have it go back to the way it was before she decided I wasn't like her and I never would be. I wanted it back.

lost souls: rain, stars, and iced coffee
Does anyone remember how anything begins? Or how anything ends? For every story, every song, every movie has a beginning to an end and an end to a beginning, but what about the rest? What about prior to the beginning or after the end, and everything in between? No one cares about that, I guess. Everyone just wants to know how what begins and how what ends; the rest is history. The rest is nothing and everything at the same time, because those who want to see, want to feel, breathe in it all--they are the lost souls in the world. They are lost, searching, needing, and craving souls. They are you and they are me. Lost in this world of collateral damage, hoping to be rescued. Searching for what can rescue them, whether that be a person or a drug or a hobby. Needing whatever it is soon because they have drowned and they are six feet under, floating in alcohol and seizing due to heroin and crying because of a him or a her. And craving--craving to die and to live all at once, for they know life is a beautiful disaster and they know about the good and the evil in this world; it has hurt them, numbed them, and misplaced them. But maybe, all they need to do--what every one of us needs to do--is stop whatever it is we're doing. Stop searching. Stop needing. Stop craving. And be. Just be. warning: a majority of this work will be in lower case on purposeComplete

Hanahaki || DNF Fanfiction/AU
WHY IS THIS STILL GETTING READS IT'S FREAKING 2022 HELP Dream grew up in a world where when you turn 16, you cough up your first flowers. It's not very painful at first, but the flowers get bigger and more frequently coughed up over a span of 2 years. If you haven't found and kissed your soulmate by the time you turn 18, you die of the "disease." The flowers are your soulmate's favourite color(s). Their gender is shown by what kind of flower it is: buttercups for female, roses for male, and oleanders for any others. Once you kiss your soulmate, the flowers retreat over a span of a week, finally leaving forever. If your soulmate dies before you find them, the flowers turn black, and the progression of the flowers stops. If you kiss anyone who is not your soulmate (outside blood relatives), then 2 months get taken off of your time to find your soulmate. If you have more than one soulmate (the max is 3), the flowers will be oleanders and will have two different colors the flowers can be. //Yes, I know that's not what Hanahaki disease is. Don't attack me please.// Dream's been waiting for a month over a year to find his soulmate. His best friends, Nick and Zak, already found theirs. Well, Nick has two: Alex and Karl. Zak's is named Darryl. So that just left Dream, and he was running out of time to find his soulmate, not finding any boys with the favourite colour being delft blue. His hopes get lifted, however, when a new kid transfers: George. But what do you do when your potential soulmate doesn't want to find his?Complete
