I died inside.

Maybe I don’t believe in dios.

Maybe inspiration ain’t enough.

Maybe my dreams are insatiable.

Maybe, happiness don’t matter.

Maybe, love isn’t real.

Maybe, love isn’t an action but only an idea.

Maybe, it’s indigestible; and we’re just browsing over it, like consumption.

But we do deserve happiness.

fire with fire. no lesser evils; courage & moderation to make these choices.

Virtues: moral obligation, thinking clearly

LOVE OF THE WORLD.

LOVE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR.

LOVE OF CEREMONIES.

Chasing a feeling, has left me in circles.

Left in shambles. Going in circles.

Left in shambles. Going in circles.

Left in shambles. Going in circles.

I give in too much.

I give in too much.

I don’t do all the socializing.

I don’t do all the socializing.

I give into my urges. Sometimes. I’m always trippin’.

I give into my urges. Sometimes. I’m always trippin’.

I give into my urges. Sometimes. I’m always trippin’.

Then play some Mac Miller after, for effect.

Me on bs: isolating myself on the weekend, mostly being online on the weekend/not working on anything meaningful with my life, and using my coping mechanisms, that result in short-term happiness, and depression.
