I often sleep to avoid my feelings
Because night time is my worst time
And 2am is getting dangerous.
She’s the type of girl that doesn’t want someone to sit with her at 2am on a rooftop talking about the things that have left ghosts wandering inside her head. She’s the type of girl who wants someone who can sit with her anywhere at any hour of the day and remind her that life can make you want to live again.
— Alexa Evangelista, the book I’ll never finish writing
There’s a course in life you can take starting today that leads to an engagement ring on your finger in a year. There’s also a path that leads to you being dead in a year. Because there are infinite realities with infinite decisions and outcomes. Which is why the “could haves” and the “maybes” and the “almosts” don’t matter. Because anything could’ve happened and anything is possible, always. There is a combination of actions and decisions that leads to any possible situation you can contrive in your head. Some outcomes may have more paths leading to it and some may require flukes or luck but that doesn’t change the fact that anything can still happen, depending on the decisions you make, starting today.
“But you have to let it go eventually. That thing that is causing you grief. There are still things for you out there. Things that will remind you that your life is not yet over. Things that will remind you that your potential is as broad as a clear blue sky. Things that will remind you that you are still fighting the good fight which is life. I can’t promise you that those things will hold the same magic as to that thing you’ve had before. But I can promise you that those things that are waiting for you in the future are beautiful, meaningful and blissful enough for you to stay alive and keep on going as you continue on with the art of living one day at a time.”
