Sometimes I forget that I am not where they are

Occasionally on the bus, tram, train, shop or footpath I would see someone that looks like them and I get this compelling force of wanting to say "Hey, where have you been? I missed you."

But then I realize that this is all too good to be true.
Reality kicks in and I remember that they are across the globe.

I miss them dearly.

You Told Me You’d Come When I Needed You
And You Said It So Sweetly I believed you
But I'm Standing Here Calling I Cant See You

GUARD UP, MASK ON

I'm building my walls up higher than ever before.
I'm plastering my mask on stronger than ever before.
I'm walking more cautiously than ever before.

Because one slip and I'll fall.
My walls will come crashing down.
My mask will shatter.
I will break. 

Challenge Yourself

You just have to challenge yourself.
Do something new that takes you out of your comfort zone.
It may be the best thing you've ever done or the worst thing you have ever done
but at least you still gave it a go.
No regrets right?
And as annoying as it gets
 ''YOLO" is actually true.
You only live once. You have to make the most of your life whilst you are still alive.

Sadness is addictive. You may not want to do anything.
But you have to. In order to live you have to do something, anything,
whether it may be big or small, whether it makes you shit scared or not, you just have to.
There is no instruction manual on how to live, you just have to figure out your own
unique, special way. 

It is easier said than done. So start somewhere, take baby steps.

You shouldn't expect things because with expectations come disappointment.
