The human mind is such a contradiction
We desire both freedom and restriction
We are the main character in our own lives
And yet the most helpless victim in our own eyes
When will we realize that pain and power is fiction?

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

This really hits me. As a person who has OCD, I can say nothing feels more authentic than this.
This is it
Wow, this hits deep.
Too true. Love it.
