I’ve been standing around for days. Watching you water the houseplants. Watching you kiss him goodbye. I’ve been quietly humming, like old machinery, unmoving and unnoticed. If you listened, there was the faintest noise, like an eggshell breaking under heavy cloth. That was my heart. That is what it sounds like.

Fuck your internet.
Seriously.
There’s an entire world out there that needs attention.
It needs your strength; it needs your tender touch.
We pretend this isn’t video games.
This is video games.
Go outside. Kiss a stranger. Climb down the embankment and take your shoes off. Put your feet in the river before Autumn.
Not your job. Not your commute. Not drunk.
Live for thirty seconds this year. I double dog dare you.

"Choices may be unbelievably hard but they’re never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that’s not how a person with integrity acts."
