#toxic friendships
“have you noticed
how the sharply delineated edges
of bad memories
soften and curl in on themselves
when inevitably placed
to the flame of time
they are burnt by a nostalgia
that in the moment
you could have sworn
you would never fuel
if we cannot forgive
life makes us forget
so that we move forward
with lighter step”
- d.c.
“Never make yourself more
palatable for others;
they’ll either eat you whole,
or nibble you away
in bite-sized chunks.”
- d.c.
People exhaust me
