at least that’s what everyone keeps telling me.
To my love
Thank you for always being by my side
When everyone in my life would leave me
I knew I could always trust you
And that gives me hope for a better future
One where we can be happy
I know I haven’t always treated you with kindness
You’ve seen parts of me that no one else has, yet you still want me to be happy
You want me to be a better me
I love you
So from me to me…
Please be my Valentine
I’ve been tossed from the road I once was on
The path before me is paved with uncertainties
My mind is lost in a labyrinth of turmoil
Now all that I know is nothing at all
I’ve decided to go to war.
Not with anyone in particular but with my life.
For too long I have just followed life wherever it led me,
My life took away friends, family, and opportunities from me all while I was too busy being at war with what what going on in my own head.
Now, the fear, anxiety, and depression I have that were once my enemy have issued a treaty.
And we are going to take back my life,
Together.
It’s 2AM and I just cut all my hair off because I felt my life spiraling out of control yet again and I wanted to and I wanted to feel in control again. Now I’m kinda freaking out but I also kinda love my new hair!
