    “It’s hard being alive, but it looks good on you” hit me real hard. Beautiful poem ❤

    "We're all just crashing into each other, and trying to fall in love with the collision." My God, that's beautiful

    "someone is happy that you exist" is a sentence people nowadays need to constantly be aware of. Such deep poem 👏

    Happiness is the vagueness accepted giving the clarity what is needed by the people who know how to and we all without exception are in this intangible thread badly need! Until this happens for all we are unhappy with something as individual, a unit of a multitude, somehow or other have time aplenty to be unhappy and the length of time varies from person to person of hours of being dismayed maybe for no reason but they don't explain or know! ❤❤

    “a closed fist can punch through a wall but you can’t fix the hole until you open your hands” LOVE THIS
    but what if you don’t care enough about the wall to want it fixed?

      Fix the wall for you, so you don't have to look at the hole every day.
