a letter to my future self

there is something humiliating about being loved with hesitation

the reason why i write about love

a poem

an ode to the lives i have lived

i know what it is to grow up in a house that was full of people and still feel completely alone in it.

it disgusts me every time i remember how little it took to make me believe i was loved.

i think one of the hardest things to admit is that the wanting never really leaves.

please unfold your arms and let me inside.

i have had this journal page open for almost two hours now, and i still cannot understand how people move through their lives without developing any sort of intimacy with them.

i think most of us have spent our entire lives chasing love without ever stopping to ask whether we were being seen.
