the best thing to do when you're feeling numb is to stargaze. look at them, see how they form shapes effortlessly. once your eyes adjust to the darkness, they'll start to stare back at you. try not to be scared, just listen to what they're whispering to you. this is the art of the secret of the stars. after they dismiss you, don't say a word and sleep on the grass. smell the dew as it crawls through the blanket and through your clothes. trace your fingers over your wrists, blur out the things you don't want to see. you're okay baby. you're going to be happy someday.
trust me.
