Harshest path to comfort and peace:
Exclude those who hinder your way there
A severed tie can calm a bundle of nerves
Loving yourself sometimes has a cost

Heal (Poetry Series): I, II, III

I’m in a mellow mood tonight after a long day at work, reminiscing and missing a few people while my sad Spotify playlist is on shuffle. I was about to buy a Jack and Coke Zero at the nearest convenience store, but today is Wednesday so I resisted.
And then Spotify played an Ed Sheeran song about loving oneself – something I’m not good at. But I swear I’m trying.
So before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself
Ed Sheeran’s “Save Myself”
And before I blame someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I’ve got to love myself
Good night.
