Don’t tell me that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty because in this society, it isn’t. No-one gives you a chance to see if you’re beautiful on the inside if you aren’t on the outside.

Sometimes when I feel ugly I remind myself that I’ve just gotten used to my own beauty. One day someone will see me and will see a skin complexion they’ve never seen before, or a nose that curves in a way they’ve never seen before, or hair that falls in a way they’ve never seen before. My beauty will be new, exciting, and fresh in their mind. Everything I’ve gotten used to seeing everyday for nearly 17 years will be a new experience for them. I will be beautiful. I am beautiful.
I wish I never needed to sleep, but also wish I could sleep for days.
I thought of texting you
“good morning, I can’t sleep”
and then I remembered
that you are on a journey
which I am not a part of
and that’s okay
but
good morning
I can’t sleep
I’m the girlfriend who will stay awake all night rubbing your back as you sleep, just so you sleep well.
people who sleep with one pillow make me sick
people who sleep with more than one pillow are shown to be more lonely and depressed

Two February’s ago, all I wanted to do was sleep. I was anchored to my bed with the sadness I was letting myself drown in. Now, I daydream about surviving on 3 hours of sleep, I dread going to bed, I keep my eyes open as long as I can. My heart sinks when the sun sets, I crave daylight; I’ve fallen in love with being alive.
