to drink coffee with a ghost

by Amanda Lovelace

no one ever bothered to tell you about the sad type of daughter & you did everything possible not to see her.

i don’t necessarily think you should have to forgive those who have mistreated you in the most life-defining ways. forgiveness is something sacred. however, i would like to think i could forgive you, if given the opportunity. i would like to think you would give me reason to.

for the first time, i will allow myself to believe that the best can & will happen to me, instead of the worst. - life doesn’t have to be a horror show.

you are not a disappointment. you are not the culmination of what people expect of you. - life is not a pass or fail.
