Hours Upon Hours

Hours upon hours

Stuck within my own head.

Analyzing everything

Over and over and

Over.

Again and again and

Again.

It's dark out now

And I have yet to eat.

Forgot to take my meds.

Lying in bed feeling sick.

Hoping, praying,

Worried -

I'm going to ruin

All of this.

All of it.

But I have left nothing

Unsaid.

Yeah like, reject false dichotomies all day long, but don't just reject dichotomies in general.

Not everyone in this world has the fate to cherish the fullest form of love. Some are born just to experience the abbreviation of it.

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

"Albuquerque is one of the best cities in America for hot air balloon rides. There are a handful of balloon tour companies that can take you on a guided airborne trip around the city - give it a try, and you'll enjoy incredible views of canyons, forests, and mountains, including the iconic Sandia Peak."
