Autumn along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Out there
lives a version of me
I’ve never met.
She’s got shorter, kaleidoscope hair
and lips fuller than the moon.
She lives in the city
and says ‘No’ like a complete sentence.
And I don’t know which one of us
is right,
which version of me
is closer to the truth,
but we are two halves of a dreamer.
She has to be happier;
I hope she’s so much happier.

And people will not stop asking why I am so quiet while I have a million thoughts racing through my mind. There are just some things that words fail to speak no matter how hard you try to shape them into words. Some thoughts are meant to be left unsaid.

My words became simple,
but my feelings seemed
much more complicated
than— they have been before.

don’t forget.
- that you’re a flower, those tears you’ve been crying— that’s just your own way of watering your roots, this is called growing
- i think you’re pretty rad and lovely— also, it’s kinda sweet to love, you only feel empty because you haven’t loved yourself in a long while, maybe try that
- that your eyes don’t need to be blue to hold the weight of the ocean
- they can be dark brown and still have the color of autumn leaves turning to winter
- you need to smile more, it’s okay to know none of the answers, hell, i don’t think anyone does
- always challenge the day, seize it
- i know that you’re wondering if you’ve made the right decisions up until this very moment, as you’re reading this, you’ll wonder if living life your way was worth it; it was
- don’t forget— you are always enough
