The moon knows that were in love.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR THOUGHTS ARE TEMPORARY.
—One of the most important things I learned that put my mind at ease whenever I get too caught up in my head.

 

I wish what we had was worth it to you.
but you fear being judged.


"its just
you and me
together"
-no one else

Secret letter #3

Schizophrenia

The first time he heard voices, he wouldn’t look at me, went into the bathroom and ran the tub full of water, tucked himself beneath the cool skin of its surface and tried to drown them out. The next day, he couldn’t stop talking about joy being like an ice-covered tree, about strangers with arms like blood oranges, dark moths covering a woman until only her eyes were visible.

The brain is just a layer of tissue and nerves suspended in fluid; the heart knows what the heart wants, and human beings are only made of 75% water. I tried to understand this, how that road sign upstairs in his brain that was once lit up had gone out so quickly, like a pit stop on an abandoned road once used by passing travelers and then slowly left for good.

On Mondays he shook so hard every bone beneath his wrists rattled, and wouldn’t leave the house because there were men in black suits outside waiting to take him away. Other nights I would wake up at 3 am to find him standing naked at the window, hands pressed to the glass, staring out at the city lights, telling me there was someone out there, looking back at him, paranoid.
He slurred his words like a man who’s had a few too many drinks, 
but all I could do was hold him until the next round of antipsychotics.

I lay awake and thought about the girls he was kissing. I wondered if they looked like me; if they tasted the same. I thought how passion had a taste.

you really wanna know?  t h i n k   y o u   c a n   b e a r   i t ?    

let's t a l k about how insanely terrifying it is to realise that your sexual/romantic orientation isn't the norm you're supposed to be, shall we?

let's t a l k about how much it hurts when your heart clenches up because your dark-skinned daughter wishes she were white? (she's seven

let's t a l k about the way you grit your teeth every time someone makes a joke about what could have been on your autopsy three years ago.

let's t a l k about giving up on what you want most in life. let's discuss how deeply, overwhelmingly, and all-consumingly that hurts.

let's t a l k about feeling, genuinely believing, that you will never be loved. that you never should be. that you don't deserve it. that it's just wrong.

you wouldn't be so eager to take a walk in someone else's shoes if you knew how much their feet bled. please stop romanticising our pain.
