"recently my dreams at night feel so real. i wake up and i can’t tell if it was a dream or not. one night i dreamed that i had a very deep cut on my leg and i was about to lose my right leg because of it. i was slightly terrified when i woke up and realised that my right leg was still there with no cut or whatever. it confused me so hard that when i was at work later i thought: oh, i can’t take the stairs because i got this cut on my leg, i take the elevator. then i realised; it was all a dream."

"you know sometimes there are things we cannot change. and i think we all got things we want to change, but just cant. thats okay, but to think about it, is a feeling that is so uncomfortable and makes me sick sometimes. maybe i need to think less. but at the same time i know that my feelings are valid and that i have to feel them for a reason."

"sometimes in public i watch other people and wonder what life they are living. what thoughts they are thinking. and sometimes i watch other people and i just don‘t care who they are. don‘t take it personal, i’m just too busy with my own stuff sometimes.."
