“

1. There will be several days that you daydream about stepping in front of a city bus. Don’t. It will not be beautiful. It will not be brave. It will be selfish. It will be broken. Your mother will cry.

2. Don’t write for him. Write for you. Write for others like you. Write so the girl that thinks about stepping in front of public transportation doesn’t. Don’t be selfish.

3. When you will yourself to sleep and it doesn’t come- get up. It doesn’t matter that it’s 3 am. There will be other 3 am’s. Take a shower. Take two. Wash him out of your hair. Write a poem. Read the same book you’ve read 202 times again. The 203rd time might tell you something different. Don’t stay in bed- you will think about the bus again.

4. Don’t kiss him because he’s broken. Don’t kiss him because his laughter never reaches his eyes. Don’t try and fix him. Fix yourself first. Be selfish. He can’t save you.

5. Date yourself. Take yourself out to eat. Don’t share your popcorn at the movies with anyone. Stroll around an art museum alone. Fall in love with canvases. Fall in love with yourself.

6. Dress up and wear red lipstick and get drunk with your friends. They’re the ones that will pick you up. Don’t kiss him. Or him. Don’t fall asleep on strange couches with strange boys. When his hand slides up your dress walk away. Hit him. Don’t kiss him. He can’t save you.

7. Get another tattoo. Get five more. Get another hole in your ear. Don’t listen to your dad. You will still be able to get a job. Did you really want to be employed by someone like your father? Haven’t you had enough of judgmental old white men anyway? Get fuck you tattooed in tiny letters on your hip.

8. When you feel the yearning for a new city- start over. Take 200 bucks and a three suitcases. Work anywhere that will have you. Meet strange people and forget your name. Call yourself Ruby. No one will know the difference. Remember to call your mother. Don’t be selfish. Come home when you find yourself in the strangers and the small one bedroom apartment.

9. Don’t whisper evil things into your own ear. Other people are going to shout them at you. Be your own hero. Keep a sword on your key ring.

10. Don’t step in front of a city bus. It will not be beautiful. Live. Stay up all night with a boy that promises you everything and means it. Live. See shitty local bands with a friend. Wear a different band’s t-shirt. No one will care. Live. Have a baby girl with tiny fingers and tiny toes someday. Pour love into her until it’s overflowing. Live. Wake up. Staying in bed all day is not poetic.

Live. Live.

Live.

Do you hear that? It’s me. It’s your life. Wake up.

Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt? Your stomach turning at the thought of their side not by yours. You love them in a way that is not complex and yet, holds as many layers as an onion. You love them in a depth so great that at the end of each day as the sun bows down you hold a small amount of remorse for the ending of one day of your life with them; one less token of gold in your palm.

That is how much I love you.

I usually keep myself quite composed and bite my tongue, but I hope you know how grateful I am to have you so far away from me and my life. You are a leech that sucks any life you can out of the people whose hearts burn for you. I wouldn’t even catch fire standing next to you now.

So, I watched the documentary “Forks Over Knives” last night. This documentary examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. Consider me sold after watching this. Here we go.

That moment when the people you know become the people you knew; and the people you knew become the ones that take the breath out of your lungs.

If you fill my lungs, I’ll fill yours too.

I wanted to tell you all of my secrets, but you became one of them.

I’ve forgotten the small cries your voice made when I turned my head away from you. Like a small bird searching for its mother, to feed its needs and wants. But a mother bird will nourish its instincts. I was never your instinct.

Last Sunday my guy and I left for Niagara Falls. We spent two nights up there. This was my gift from him for our anniversary. We had such a great time and the falls are absolutely breathtaking. It was the perfect getaway. I love him to pieces.

I hope my name never passes through your lips.

Today is mine and Brian’s one year anniversary. I couldn’t be happier. I’m so thankful to have him in my life.
