I think I'm on the brink of self-discovery
and if my world fell down
I wouldn't need you to catch me.

Its funny how people's true colors show when they have no need for false fronts.
Today I am feeling wonderfully liberated.

I don't know where I'd find you
I keep my eyes closed
I keep looking

I think you're in the shower
I kept the drain on
It keeps leaking

You tell me that you love me
Then my heart stops
I keep hoping

But I will learn to let go
I'm moving forward
There's no stopping

Maybe someday you'll find me
On a path where I'll be walking
By then I'd have learn to let go
Moving forward, there's no stopping.

I am falling from grace
Slowly making this place
My home

A week ago my heart was broken.

A week ago my heart was broken. In a way I feel betrayed by someone who once told me we would always be in love. It was childish and naive to think that way, the world is so rigid and real but I couldn't help it. And at the same time I hope the best for him, this boy that I love so much, in the end I just hope he figures himself out. And with that I'll move forward, my heart heavy with distrust and hurt. My brother told me to understand and to not let the past get ahead of me.

On the train I met an 18 year old boy, running from Kansas, who taught me that life is so much bigger than myself and filled with so much discovery. He even left me with his hardcover art book, telling me that I "needed it more than him and that it will help you take your mind off your ex." I've only experienced/seen that kind of genuine kindness so rarely in life.

Yesterday I met with an old friend who taught me that yes, this painful empty feeling will someday be replaced with fond memories and that yes, I can fall in love again someday.

Right now, I feel this empty and sad calm, something so dreadful my tears can't even express it. What do you do when someone you were willing to love unconditionally tells you that they don't love you? Right now, all I can do is hope for the best and look ahead because deep down inside I know the possibilities of life do not fail to thrill me. And as of right now, I am learning to let go of love.
