Because are you anyone, or are you just a copy and paste of everyone else with a lost thought and no self?Plastic Wrap
But some days it gets better, and it feels better, and you feel better.Plastic Wrap
my everything just wasn’t enough. Plastic Wrap
But failing after giving your everything is a whole different genre of feeling.Plastic Wrap/b>
And I’m waiting for the day that I am ready to sprint, and just keep sprinting until I unfold the next layer of my plastic wrap.Plastic Wrap
Writing became the only way I could make sense of my thoughts.Plastic Wrap
Each phase, you have a different type of mask. Plastic Wrap
Why does one person's word weigh more than a million? Plastic Wrap
Who or what made you the way you are? Plastic Wrap
You can walk away from anything.Plastic Wrap
And that’s what’s so dangerous about being so madly in love with someone, as you don’t really realize how much they hurt you until they leave.Plastic Wrap

Week of 25 Oct · this week's theme

V. Amour-Propre.

The love that needs witnesses: Rousseau separates amour de soi, plain self-preservation, from amour-propre, the self-regard that exists only by comparison and needs other people's eyes to survive. He thought the second was the source of nearly all human misery. (Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, part two). "Everything, every little thing that I did, I dedicated it to him." - plastic wrap
