The swell of tears in my eyes starts again, but this is too happy a moment for them to fall. They hang there, bright and sparkling in the twilight, as my smirk melts to a smile.

I love you.Did you know that? Even if you did, I wanted to say it one last time.But no one is ever really gone.I wish you the happiest of lives. A long life, too. But not too long. You know how I feel about eternity.Wherever you go, I will be.

Everyone in my life taught me to swim in the ocean of myself.

I can’t let the emotion of fear submerge me. Drown me. The ocean is so big, so full of life, but I won’t drown in it. I can swim. I’ve learned to swim now.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned to admire about humans, it’s that when there’s nothing left, they become strongest.

Maybe guilt isn't about mourning people but about making them a part of you as you go forward.

I’m here, at the end of the world.And the beginning of a new one.

Bad things happen, and you tell yourself that's life, because you've lived a while and you know bad things happen, and they'll keep happening, but you try to stay alive even after they do because you know it isn't all bad, so you keep moving, keep going, try to put space between you and the bad things so you forget about them but they always catch up and then they sit on your back and make your back and make you trip while you try to move forward and it sucks.
