most people don't want to tell you that loneliness is a spell and that sometimes, you'll fall asleep for a few seasons, but it just happens. it's a malady that touches everyone. the only way to avoid it is staying as static as you possibly can. what people don't tell you about indifference is that it's the safest haven you can make for yourself. if you stop caring and having expectations for people, they'll never disappoint you. they'll never walk in and out of your life and treat you like you don't matter enough to respond to. or to say happy birthday to. sometimes, people treat each other like cyclical recyclables, but that's not the way it should work, or frankly, the way it works out for the majority of people. be logical, be considerate, be practical. people are afraid to let go, but it's an inevitable task that will happen at every turn.

 i'm just tired lately.
