to be honest i find it hard to believe that theres someone out there that would be able to spend the rest of their life with me

65,151 notesi lay in bed for an hour listening
to joyce manor and reading
bukowski. i tried not to be sad.
it didn’t work.
i thought about how
none of those writers made it
through,
at least not alive and sober.
i thought about how
i wasn’t sure i could make it
through,
not alive or sober,
but i want(ed) to,
more than i have ever wanted
anything
(even a barbie jeep in second
grade. my best friend’s name was
christopher and i want(ed)
him too,
sometimes. we would ride away
together. somewhere far and magical
and happy)
i lay there and
i kept breathing and
i kept reading and
i kept thinking.
life moved on.
i’m sure someone somewhere
died.
that lucky bastard.
“for me, humanity had failed worse than i had”
i highlighted that in the bukowski book
maybe three months ago.
i don’t know why
i don’t know how anyone or anything
even a collective species
can have failed worse than i have.
but if someone wrote it,
it has to be possible,
doesn’t it?
i’m still alive and i am
struggling to stay still alive and
that’s something.
things could be much worse.
on the other hand,
things could be much better.
i never got that barbie jeep or
christopher. or anybody ever,
really.
also,
i am a little tired of needing medicine
to feel OK.
maybe God will show up
on my doorstep tomorrow
and cure me.
let’s cross our fingers but
don’t get your hopes
up
