2016: You were supposed to let go of the plan. At this point in your life, you had to accept that though things didn’t go as you once thought they would, that doesn’t mean they aren’t going well. Though it comforts you to adhere to your idea of “what’s next,” sometimes, the best thing you can do is see where life takes you. Usually, the things you lose are for your best interest anyway.
2017: You were supposed to find yourself again. The low blows of 2016 took a toll on your self-confidence, which is a rare thing for you to experience. However, it set you up to find a whole new degree of self-confidence and assuredness within yourself. If you could survive the past year, you can survive anything.
2018: You’re supposed to go where you’ve never been before. They say that the true definition of idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This year, that will be put to the test for you. You’re meant to expand your borders, date new people, try new things… you may just find that there’s a whole lot of joy waiting for you in life, if only you’d open up and give it a chance.

I don’t think you realize
just how dead inside you made me.
I had to live with myself for months,
sleeping with the broken heart you left me with.
I hold the pieces in my hands,
smashing them further into smithereens
because I don’t care enough to take care of myself either.
If there’s one thing I learned about love
it’s that I can be just as careless as the other—
but that doesn’t matter.
What matters is that I know healing isn’t linear,
I have to live with it,
I have to live with the subtle reminders that I still love you
and I just can’t stop talking about you like you are around.
I can’t stop my mind from roaming to you in my dreams,
you won’t leave my head
and your hands still burn my skin
I think about all the promises you made
that you never did,
that you never let live on for too long.
So it’s been a month without you
and I still miss you as if you left yesterday,
one second I never want to be touched again
and the next I want anyone’s hands on me.
I’m glad you can’t see me
as I’m wilting
or maybe you need to see the decay you left behind,
maybe you’ll care this time.

(you won’t)

It’s okay to walk away.
You’re allowed to leave this place. You’re allowed to leave toxic people. You’re allowed to say no without explaining why. You’re allowed to quit something that you don’t really love.
You can move freely.
You’re allowed to start over with something else.
You’re allowed to fail and try and try again.
