morning routine
i always brush my teeth, wash my face, put my contacts in, weigh myself, do my skincare, and put on clothing for my morning walks. today i did this, and i will do it all again tomorrow. i need to start being careful. i brushed my teeth so hard, and my mind wandered, when i suddenly hit the part of my tongue underneath that connects it to the bottom. i’m not sure what it’s called. anyways… it didn’t hurt, but it surprised me. i didn’t think anything was wrong until i noticed b

when i die...
burn me. i don’t care about what i wear, things said in remembrance, or songs that are played for me. it will all probably be wrong anyways burn me. take the ashes to a field of wildflowers, and lay me down. i want to spend eternity among them, gazing at the clouds speeding by. leave me be. that was one of my favorite things to do, when i was alive. so, i wouldn’t mind doing that for eternity. fuck the rest.

one night
i always found comfort in watching others play games. it’s raining again. i’ve been stressed and sad. i woke up at 3am. slept again at 12am. woke up at 5am. so, instead of thinking or sleeping about emptiness again. here i sit. holding a pillow, waiting for someone else’s jump scare to make my heart skip. maybe, i really like the reminder that my heart is still there.
