It Was Just a Matter of Time (But Our Clocks Stopped Ticking)
I dated a photographer once. One day we were sitting on his couch after having a cigarette and screaming the lyrics of song we both loved together on the patio. We were sitting on the couch eating Chinese food and watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but mostly talking, when he stopped mid sentence, fried rice falling from his mouth. He just stared at me for awhile before saying, “Wow. This lighting looks perfect on you. You’re so beautiful.”
And just like that. Just like that it was over. I finally knew how he saw me. And how he saw me a whole lot less as a person and a whole lot more as a photograph. He saw me as a photograph.
"- Buy lace underwear and model it around at home. You’re a goddess, own it.- Tips for people who feel lost (via saltaconmigo)
- Realize the fact that if somebody can’t see your virtues doesn’t it mean you don’t have them.
- Pamper yourself. Fill the bathtub with hot water, throw in a bath bomb, jump in, play some music and enjoy. Exfoliate your skin, wash your hair, use a hair mask. Don’t dare to leave the bathroom till you’ve polished every single inch of your body. Try to polish your soul too.
- Remember situations you faced in the past. Realize they’re not a big deal anymore. That bad anxiety you had two months ago suddenly seem so small you might just want to laugh for being so silly, and now it’s over all those tears you cried are the most pointless thing ever. This will happen over and over again, so next time you face a problem remember in a year from now it will be insignificant.
- Go for a walk on your own. Walk aimlessly without a finish line. Come back home when you’re tired, no need to hurry.
- Doodle. Maybe you think you’re doing not so great at living but your watercolors skills are still on point.
- Buy yourself flowers. This one needs no explanation.
- Clean bed sheets are always a good idea.
- Stare at yourself in a mirror after a long nap and admire how glowing, beautiful and dreamy your face looks. Naps work wonders.
- In fact, stare at yourself on a mirror daily. Each time compliment on something. Maybe today you like your hair but don’t enjoy the shape of your lips, but that’s ok because tomorrow you’ll be delighted at how cute your smile is even tho your hair might be a mess. Learn to love you.
- Bake cookies just to eat with your fingers the remaining cookie dough. Everybody knows that’s the best part of baking.

I’ve Lost My Sense of Time
Earlier I watched the water slip through my fingertips, thinking that the water is you. You fell through the cracks before I even knew you were there. And I grasped at that water as much as I could, as fast as I could, but it just kept falling.
And falling.
And falling.
Right on through.
It trickled down my hands, with one last touch, before it left. Just like that it was gone and you were gone and what was I supposed to do? I had a date today. But if you’re the water on my fingertips, I’m fire, and he’s fire, and we’re all fire.
And I’ve learned you can’t put out fire with fire. I tried it tonight. I mean, he waited for me in my room while I smoked a cigarette and kissed his roommate instead. But his roommate looked at me and said, “Darling, you’re not gonna be able to smoke that cigarette if you keep trying to light the filter. Shh, it’s okay, let me help you.”
And I just cried.
