There is nothing pathetic about drinking alcohol alone. Sometimes it goes down easier that way. If someone tells you that you must be sad if you are getting drunk by yourself than you should tell that person you love yourself in every kind of state of mind. Even if the state is blurry and incoherent.
If you want to be by yourself while being surrounded by others, know that that’s okay. Sometimes even the friendliest of people need their space, and just because you want to be alone even when you are not, know that there is nothing wrong with wanting to escape just so you can become closer to yourself.
Just because you spend most of your time locked in your room doesn’t mean that you want to close the world out for good. Sometimes you have to spend time away just to realize that the world is still out there, and that it will be waiting for you when you think that it’s time to start exploring.
Putting yourself over others at times isn’t selfish, it’s human, and it’s the only way that you will ever be able to make yourself happy. If someone calls you selfish for not wanting to do what they want to do, make sure that you tell them that sometimes you have to be selfish. Because what is the point of learning how to understand if you don’t understand yourself first.
If you don’t want to go out to the bar, or to a party that everyone is at, know that you don’t have to. This doesn’t make you boring. This doesn’t mean that you are already past the part in your life where fun is your number one priority. This just means that you would rather spend time with yourself than with others, and there is nothing wrong with preferring your own company over the company of others. Don’t let someone convince you that you are wasting away your freedom. And if they try to, try to make them see that it’s not because you’re uninterested all the time, but because you’re not in the mood for it in that moment.
Loving yourself, being confident with how you look, and praising yourself at times does not mean that you are self-centered. It just means that you know what you are capable of. And since you know that you have to spend the rest of your days trapped inside of your own skin you might as well make friends with yourself instead of considering your own self to be your own worst enemy.

You are the woman
who fills my mind
with tender thoughts.
You are the woman
who has made my
heart as strong
as it is today.
You are the woman
who I have always
wanted, but never
had the courage
to pursue.
You are the woman
who has made me
understand myself
in ways that I
couldn’t have
figured out alone.
If I would have knownthat loving youwould be this difficult,maybe I would havethought this...
If I would have known
that loving you
would be this difficult,
maybe I would have
thought this through.
But it’s too late
for that sort of thing,
and I guess that I
might as well
figure out how to
love you in the way
that you have
always wanted.
I need to stop falling in love with women who live so many miles away.

you trying to change, my mind will
reconsider, and I will no longer
keep our love bottled up
in the pit of my sensitive stomach.
But you should know
that just because your hair
is a different color, doesn’t mean
that I am going to be coming back
anytime soon, and that you are
welcome to come inside whenever.
Because even when you are here,
I still feel as though I am looking in
the eyes of a stranger.
There are so many parts of you
that you’ve kept hidden.
Even the secrets that are
locked behind the doors
of your heart are scratching
at the walls, causing pain
just to see the light.
And I didn’t want to be
one of those secrets that you
would have ended up
just keeping inside of a drawer
on the inside of your mislead heart.
I wanted to be that one file
that was too noticeable to cover up.
I wanted our love to have
the ability to change
the permanent records.”

I love a girl
who is halfway
across the world,
and I sometimes
wonder if she sees
me in the same
light that I see
her in. Graceful
and tipsy from the
morning moon.
In my eyes,
she is able to
hold my heart
in her hands that
have had more
experience than she
ever thought possible.
She is my invincible,
but silent muse.

I woke up this morning feeling lost, and regretting everything that I had ever said to her. Apologies won’t do anything anymore. They’ve tried to make themselves sentimental, but all that she took from it was a way of me trying to seem like the better person. And she knows that I am not the good one in this situation. I’ve tried everything. Writing letters, poems, and giving her signs to tell her that I really am sorry. Because really, I am. There are no excuses for the things I said to her when my mouth was filled with impatience and irritation, but before I could stop myself it was too late and my words had already made an impression of being in-favor of her absence rather than her presence. But there is nothing that I can do now to make her understand that if I could, I would take it all back just for one more moment of being on her good side.
