she told me that her brain is like a submarine going down, there are warning lights and sirens and everything is screaming.
but for me, my mind has felt like a solitary place. Like floating in space, in a ship or a station, and everything is quiet and shut down. All but one little blinking panel, and the light coming through the thick window of sun and stars and moon. it's a dark place, lonely. it's sad but... it's some place I'm used to. maybe I'm just waiting for the panels to fire back up, or maybe I'm waiting for the one light to stop blinking... but I'm waiting anyways, for something.

Its still so fresh in my mind tbh. I still dream about her. I knew what was coming and so did she but it still hurt because how could life just keep going after something like that? That ripping away feeling, like your souls just gone in two?
There's all these scars now, hardened over time. I feel like I can touch them more fondly now, but there's still a deep sadness lingering.
My light went out.
But there was another ship out there, pulling my half frozen body from the wreckage of my own isolation. Oxygen and warmth and lights again. I hope there's always lights. I want to smile in the sun forever.

This is gorgeous. Your prose has always inspired me when you feel inclined to share it. You are a beautiful person.
sometimes, it feels as though the goodness in life is sometimes a cruel trick to suffer longer, to hold on for a little more time.
the deep sadness reminds us that we strive for something to make us happy enough to feel that sad again. it is a fascination with the awe that life can behold, be that positive or negative. i long for those awe-inspiring moments, the moments where i am shaken by either kindness or cruelty, to know the borders of what exists. the pain is beautiful and horrifying at the same time.
