how to.

Listen to your favorite song.
Many times. 
Im talking on repeat for hours upon hours. 



Feel sorry for yourself. 
Not for long
but right now its good for you because 
you deserve to pity yourself when it seems like
no one else cares. 

Whatever you do, 
don't forget to plaster that ridiculous smile on your face.
That will be key in your journey to being okay
Its been said, that after a while you'll start to believe it's real. 



Make sure that the only tears that come are the one's from laughing.

Laugh by yourself, and at things that only make you laugh. 
You're not crazy, just lonely 
and loneliness, 
it's a drug. 

Don't cry, 
Just don't do it. 
But if you must , make sure you're by yourself, 
because people don't care.
Okay that was blunt, but as much as it hurts, its true.  

Distract yourself,
Don't think about the movie you used to watch with him,
or the lies you just told your parents
or the secrets you've kept from her. 
Write a letter, with everything you wish you would've said. 





Think about your favorite words. 
Think about the things you would've said to his face. 
Think about the good times, 
Your favorite memory of your speckled bathroom floor in your first house. 


I should've told you before hand that there is no guarantee that these things make you okay.
 Because who knows, maybe we'll never be anything more than okay.

    "

    and loneliness,

    it's a drug."

    Both of these lines spoke straight to the back of my skull. I laugh with myself more than is humanly healthy, and I have seen some pretty scary things behind those pretty teeth. This was awesome, good work.
