lost;

always

I. throw your bad habits away. walk all over them until you can no longer recognize them. until you can’t take them back.

II. get rid of your old selves. the ones you wouldn’t be able to look in the eyes if you’d pass them on the street. say ‘thank you’ and walk away. you are better now.

III. compliment yourself every now and then. fake it until you mean it. you’ve come such a long way.

IV. there is enough hatred in this world already. make sure it doesn’t start living all under your skin. make sure it doesn’t find a home in your veins.

V. they won’t take you back because you’re sad, ready to die or struggling on your bedroom floor. take care of yourself. put yourself first for once.

VI. it’s going to be okay. it has to.

VII. It has to.
