i must remember to keep myself grounded in this moment.
to feel the air in my lungs and my feet on the floor.
to feel that you love me.

how to fight lonelinessi must remember to keep myself grounded in this moment.
to feel the air in my lungs and my feet on the floor.

i had these bright green, bright blue eyes. when you looked at them in just the right lighting, they sparkled some. the kind of twinkle that comes from being young.
and when i was little, i had this huge heart. i never turned down a friendship or a day outside. or a bicycle ride with untied shoelaces.
when i was 5 years old, i cried to my mother. the first bully, the first real loneliness i had ever known. i said to her,
“mom, i can’t wait until i’m older. until i’m older when everyone is nice and everyone cares. where everyone is friends.”
she looked at me,
“well honey, adults…adults are mean too. there are adult bullies too.”
things haven’t been the same since then.
my eyes don’t glimmer like they used to and my heart isn’t quite as big as it used to be.
this whole putting too far too little and way too much
faith inside your single self.
i know i can’t keep going and this,
this cannot keep going.
you are not enough.
i hope everything is with you and all (or most) with you.
but we must not continue like this. not like this.
