needs helping cry
But the thing about a cry for help is that someone else needs to be around to hear it.
pursuit-of-happiness thinking unhappy
That word again. Happy. It’s a curse. The pursuit of happiness makes us deeply unhappy. It’s a trap.Before anything else happened, there was me in bed, thinking of who you used to be. I don’t want you to think I forgot.
heart mind strange
That strange, twisted, torn love. That conflict between what your heart knows is right and what your mind is told is right.
mean trust-me reason
If I'm not telling you something, it's for a reason. Just because you trust me, it doesn't mean I have to automatically trust you. Trust doesn't work like that.
thinking attachment perception
It's almost heartening to think that the attachment you have can define your perception as much as any other influence.
real being-real ends
Because what's the point of something virtual if it doesn't end up being real?
missing next happens
I felt like I was missing something. Missing you more. Missing whatever was going to happen next.
memories sometimes tricks
Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.
character emotional long
Readers embrace all kinds of characters as long as they are written with emotional truth.
girl boys blue
Pink is female - but why? Are girls any more pink than boys? Are boys any more blue than girls? It's something that has been sold to us, mostly so other things can be sold to us.
hurt pouring littles
That's what it felt like - that if I let a little of the hurt out, it would keep pouring out until I was a deflated balloon of a person, with a big monster of hurt in front of me.
world ifs knows
If you let the world in, you open yourself up to the world. Even if the world doesn't know that you're there.
mean talking should-have
With some people ,the minute you start talking, it feels like you've known them for years. It only means that you were supposed to meet sooner. You're feeling all the time you should have known each other, but didn't. That time still counts. You can definitely feel it.
fall effort trying
You spend so much time, so much effort, trying to hold yourself together. And then everything falls apart anyway.
