numbness is bliss
i went home for the easter holidays. [home is just an excuse. home is a hostile planet with a thin atmosphere that suffocates you slowly. home is the place you go to hide and the place you constantly run away from]
i oversmiled just because it sustains someone else’s happiness. i ate a carrot. drank beer. cried a little. climbed a mountain just to lie in the grass for 10 minutes and turn back. parked my car without any trouble. i went to a tanning studio so i can look good in the slightly obscene pink dress my mom bought me. i got my ass kicked at badminton. fed a squirrel. had meaningless conversations. cooked. cleaned. and a bunch of other things i wouldn’t see myself doing. [sometimes the fact that i exist is based solely on reflex. ah, inertia, thou art a great replacement for a life]
i gave up. for a while at least. i blew off all the impossible dreams along with some dandelion seeds.
for now, i’m just trying to quit my self-sabotaging ways. [i’m numb. and it feels better]
