me as I’m sitting on the bus; watching the golden leaves from a window; a sudden
burst of realisation in the middle of the night. I can’t help it and I can’t stop it. I’m
alone as I’ve always been and sometimes it hurts…. but I’m learning to breathe deep
through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. To comfort
my own heart when I wake up sad. To find small bits of friendship in a crowd full of
strangers. To find a small moment of joy in a blue sky, on a trip somewhere not so far
away, a long walk an early morning in December or a handwritten letter to an old
friend simply saying ”I thought of you. I hope you’re well.”
No one will come and save you. No one will come riding on a white horse and take all
your worries away. You have to save yourself, little by little, day by day. Build
yourself a home. Take care of your body. Find something to work on. Something that
makes you excited, something you want to learn. Get yourself some books and learn
them by heart. Get to know the author, where he grew up, what books he read himself.
Take yourself out for dinner. Dress up for no one but you and simply feel nice. it’s a
lovely feeling, to feel pretty. You don’t need anyone to confirm it.
I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days, but I’m learning to
breathe deep through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself.
Slowly building myself a home with things I like. Colors that calm me down, a plan to
follow when things get dark, a few people I try to treat right. I don’t sometimes, but
it’s my intent to do so. I’m learning.I’m learning to make things nice for myself. I’m
learning to save myself.
I’m trying, as I always will.”

is a wonderful thing to do
