What do you do when you begin to feel numb again? What do you do when you’re sitting in class and suddenly it’s like a dark cloud is sitting over your head and everyone’s smiling and laughing but in your eyes it looks like everyone’s laughing at you, smiling at your pain. What do you do when the people you love ask if you’re okay and you try to explain but all that comes out is “I’m fine, just tired” and they nod and smile and the dark cloud begins to rain because you can’t.fucking.open.yourself.up.to.love. What do you do when everyday you wake up and it’s like what next? What else is there until I feel okay again? What do you do?

I wonder how many people have lay awake at night totally in awe about how stupid they have been … how much they trusted a person who broke them… how they thought they knew someone they clearly didn’t… how happy a person could’ve made them if… how old a relationship would be had it worked out… how long it takes to heal… how do they know hell isn’t this lifetime… how much they love someone… how much they miss someone… how many marks that essay’ll get them… how many more days before it ends… how many people have walked away… how much they’ve changed… I wonder, how many people are awake right now heartbroken, heartless or head over heels. - 4 am thoughts

I'm honestly terrified of being out in public now. I look Arab, even though I'm not. I'm born and raised in Texas. I'm gay. Maybe it's my paranoid schizophrenia, but I truly believe I will have to be careful when I'm out alone. I believe my looks were part of an assault by a police officer when I was travelling through west Texas. White people tell me I'll be fine. They say we'll get through this. But this isn't another Bush administration. This is this the xenophobic, homophobic, "disenfranchised", evangelical, white supremacist majority that incorrectly sees me as the enemy. With both Bush elections I was disappointed, but I wasn't terrified. I didn't joke about moving, I took democracy in stride and kept living my life. I jokingly get called terrorist, when I'm a native Texan. I get weird stares on the train and bus because I'm brown, and I was born in the US. I get searched every plane ride, even though I'm half white. In fact, I'm half Irish descent and half Indian descent. But I'm too brown for whites and too American for browns. I don't fit in, so I tend to stand out. And in doing so, I draw the ire and looks of others. There's too much hate and uncertainty in the world. This has always bred fascism, nationalism, and totalitarianism. And that's why I'm afraid. These ideals just won majority in the most powerful nation state in the world. And here I am, just wondering why people rationalize hate. Why has my country betrayed me? I'm truly worried for my safety in public. This wasn't the America I was promised under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. My first political memory was watching the Berlin Wall fall. And now, my home will be building one. Winter is coming.

Shoutout to the people who:
-have symptoms that aren’t visible to others
-are able to function even while in extreme pain
-hide their illness well
-who don’t “seem sick”
-who have flareups at night or other times when no one else sees
-fight a daily battle that others can’t see
-feel like they’re making too big of a deal out of their illness because “it could be worse!”
I see you out there, I feel you, you’re awesome.
I’ve decided I need to be more spontaneous - stop thinking about things so much and just do them, or else nothing that I want is ever gonna happen. Like today, there were so many things I wanted to do - that I should have done - but I waited too long and missed my chance. So tomorrow I’m gonna try much harder to just do the things that I want - not think about it, so hopefully it will be better.
