You must imagine
the life that you wish to live,
you must believe it.

(via tylerknott)

You have to find something. Something that anchors you, something that keeps you looking forward. Even on the bad days, the days when you’re tempted to look back.

I was surprised, as always, at how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.

I myself did not know what I wanted. I was afraid of life, I struggled to get rid of it, and yet I hoped for something from it.

I knew that I was dying
something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become as
them, accept

then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
bit
it needn’t be much, just a spark
a spark can set a whole forest on
fire
just a spark
save it.

It’s a wonder I’m even alive. Sometimes I think that. I think that I can’t believe I haven’t killed myself. But there’s something in me that just keeps going on. I think it has something to do with tomorrow, that there is always one, and that everything can change when it comes.
