I wish i was a penguin

I wish i could live in a bubble where it was just me and you. A place where we do not have to answer to anybody but ourselves. As of late, my insides feels like its all knotted up in a big mess; like running into salt water with scabs and scratches. It stings but yet i feel like its completely normal.
I'm getting used to the pain because now I see how pain can be growth, healing, reckoning and acceptance.

I wouldn't have been able to go through with all the meaningless texts and calls i've been getting the past few weeks without the boy's constant assurance and patience. As frustrating as it is, people are people and there's nothing we can do about it. Nonetheless, I am very loved and very happy. I cannot ask for anything more.
