I forever trudge on the borderlines of heaven and hell trying to find myself in this chaotic world. This page is merely written for myself, a documented account of my change as I attempt to replenish my soul. The heavy words on this page carry only a fraction of the weight of my heavy heart.  I leave myself and my emotions raw and vulnerable from time to time but I generally keep myself guarded.

And an hour later nothing has changed. There’s a heaviness inside of me that won’t leave, and it’s dragging me back to the dark places I’ve seen before. &lt;br/&gt;
Sometimes my chest feels so tight I think there must be air, building up, soon there will be too much and I’ll pop, and everyone will talk about the tragic accident I became. &lt;br/&gt;
I woke up this morning with knots in my stomach and a heavy head, along with the feeling that it doesn’t matter that I woke at all. &lt;br/&gt;
I wish to go back to sleep, only this time, to stay that way.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;(via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bluebirdsonawire.tumblr.com/"&gt;bluebirdsonawire&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://aimisays.tumblr.com/post/53070952307</link><guid>http://aimisays.tumblr.com/post/53070952307</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:43:38 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>The solitude at 3 am is a lingering reminder that I am still broken.</title><link>http://aimisays.tumblr.com/post/53009581870</link><guid>http://aimisays.tumblr.com/post/53009581870</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2013 03:25:17 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>lynbdank:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The day I tucked my umbrella away, the rain came. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It didn’t even bother to sprinkle, it poured. Like comets, the raindrops crashed down onto my skin. And I found myself shaking my head once more, wondering when the rain will ever stop. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I kind of laugh a little.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s funny to find myself in the same exact position. Lying in bed and not knowing what the hell to do with myself. I am so tired of this. And then I get up and start to feel just the slightest ounce of motivation, then I fall back into a slumber dwelling on all that’s happening around me. It’s a never ending.. thing. Like, why.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i’m just glad that I’m only like this when I’m alone. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I threaten to disappear, often. I take the easy way out. I’d choose the easy way out. I’d walk through the bedroom door and not look back. I’d have the last word and almost always, my way. And then he caught onto my routine, my awful habit of recklessness, of instability. I was incapable of believing that anything good was everlasting, or would ever last. But I can recall one night so thoroughly that I can repeat every step and remember every line exchanged. I had ran out in a frenzy, after another fight, another night of yelling and slamming doors/ him punching walls. I half sped walked, and ran barefoot, always barefoot. And for the first time, he didn’t come after me. I didn’t feel his long limbs grab my forearms backwards, I didn’t feel his pressure against my back, holding me from continuing on, turning me around violently so that my face hugged his chest and his fingers would run through my hair, patting me, shushing me, calming me.. finding me in every moment I would lose myself. And I panicked. I shouldn’t have since in reality, we shared the same four walls then and it’s not like it would have been the end of the world, but it sure felt like it. I did the next best thing. I called. I was already halfway around the block of our neighborhood and the darkness was starting to scare me without his footsteps behind me. He was surprised I called, because I never initiated, never let in. I started walking back and saw him at the front door. And immediately, I had forgotten what we were fighting for. My breathing turned into squeaks and then into tears. And I blurted, without hesitation, &lt;em&gt;why didn’t you come after me? &lt;/em&gt;As perhaps selfish and self-pitying as it may sound now— I meant it in the most genuine way and he heard it in my voice.I repeated the question over and over again until his hushing and embrace consumed me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That feeling of giving someone just that much power over you is pretty.. well, frightening. Especially at the end when you two revert back to being strangers, again. There’s always that lingering annoyance. The hey-you-were-so-vulnerable-and it was all for nothing because everyone is bound to leave. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I swore I’d never subject myself to so much vulnerability— or at least that much drama. But at least, the last time I did, he was there to forgive me for my ways and to wipe away all of my crying.&lt;/p&gt;
