Too Curious by Edward J. Goodman, 1887.
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
