To the ones healing their darkest fragments
To the ones healing their darkest fragments Today I choose not to poetically quote the light that we need to embrace in order to see the best parts of ourselves.

The loneliness that mitigates the sanguinity we hold for a better tomorrow I am a writer, and we are often accused of overexemplifying the beauty of life and light. But light can only exist if we rotate and oscillate between shades of grey, between the darkness and the looming shadows that hollow us from inside.

Bubbles, Needles, Poop and Other Related Things. Content Warning.
I woke in my college dorm room my junior year and lay still, unable to force myself out of bed. It was five in the evening and I had slept all day.

I succumbed to one darkness in order to escape another.
