studies say the best hours to sleep are between 11 and 3
studies say bad sleeping habits can be detrimental in the long term

i stay up anyway,
though i don’t have any work
or anything at all
because the hours
between night and morning are
the times i feel most okay
those are the hours i
genuinely feel at ease,
because the world has stopped… and
i almost believe im okay

studies say so many things
but what’s my physical health good for if my mental health is nothing?

“have you ever looked
at a healing wound
and thought,
this will scar.
?
that’s how i feel
when i look at you.”

— the worst part of happy is the end, Drea O.

do you ache to hear those words again
like the fruit you know you should not consume of
and when you do
it can feel like a surgery you haven’t been anaesthetised for
do you ache to hear those words again?

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

— Jim Morrison
