For just a moment, I touched the sun. It burned too brightly for me to hold onto, but at least I got to bask in its rays awhile and remember, just before letting it slip away, that there's more out there for me than darkness.

Sunsets Suck

I've never really liked sunsets — even less so when they arrive early and you're just not ready.

You Can't Love (or Hate) What You Can't Remember

One good thing about my shit memory is that I just need to remove the root of my feelings from my life and will soon forget the details of the sweet moments that caused them in the first place. In retrospect, this is likely why I've rarely gotten to a point of feeling love toward others and tend to get over *most* experiences and people so successfully and easily. Out of sight, out of my heart. My empathy rarely allows me to stop caring for people, but my memory (or lack thereof) both softens the blow of any trauma they might have caused me and fades the emotions that might cause me to feel lasting attachment to anyone in particular. I suppose this is also why I'm virtually incapable of holding a grudge. 

Can't Eat or Sleep Because Love

A few months ago, I began to lose my appetite and found myself unable to sleep more than maybe four or five hours, yet I felt well rested and perfectly fine. Typically, food is a huge part of my day, and I've been loathe to get less than a full night's sleep anytime I can help it for the past 9 or so years, so I eventually decided I needed to do a little research to uncover whether my hunch about the reason for the sudden change held any water. Sure enough, both changes are symptoms observed in those falling in love:

1.

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

6. 

7. 

Love is Inconvenient

Love is so fucking inconvenient 

How Can You Not Choose Love?

What distractions does it take — how thin must you be spread — in order to ignore love? What must you become to forget and move along without it?

To Lose Your Mind, Just Fall in Love

Few things can make you lose your mind more thoroughly than love.
