turtles.
a relationship that seemed so shallow and odd to everyone around us.
and one that had no support from the beginning.
forced us to grow legs and feet of our own.
left us to be our own lifelines.
and as i watch the other bonds fall away,
i realize that our love has more guts than most.
and i still have hope.
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

Q
i’ve always loved trees and hated flowers. flowers remind me of the girly bullshit fairytales that the world brainwashed me to believe. just fake colorful nonsense shit. looks pretty but it’s still shit. and it still dies. but trees live for such a long time. they live through stages. and even when their branches are bare… they still have hope for regrowth. that’s the real stuff right there. we get stripped and broken and we live through winters… and we still still see the sun again.
yeah.
Emily made this up, and before I did it she told me: “you look someone in the eyes when you really mean what you say.”
