What does happiness feel like? he asks me.
Like warmth. I say.
You can’t be happy while you’re cold? He looks confused.
Like simplicity. I explain.
Happiness isn’t ever hard? He asks. It isn’t ever complex?
Like success. I try. Like achievement.
Can’t you stay happy in the face of failure? He looks worried.
Like softness. I say. Like gentleness. Like a tornado bursting through you; like a volcano erupting. Happiness, I say, feels like gladness to be alive. It feels like, blanket forts and daisies, and sunshine and rainstorms, and old books and hidden bookstores. But I’m struggling. He opens his mouth.
But no, that’s not it. I say.
What does happiness feel like? he asks. Like being loved, I tell him, and he’s finally silent.
Like loving and being loved in return.

Anonymous asked:
Is it worth it to keep living life
I spoke to a man today. He’d been sleeping rough for many years. He suffered from paranoia and depression, and he’d recently lost his girlfriend. “You keep going,” he said to me, “you just keep going.”
I wish I could tell his story, because it’s a human story. Because suffering is not a beautiful thing, but it is not unique either. To be human is to suffer. Sometimes, at least.
The first thing they tell you about not wanting to live is that it doesn’t mean you want to die. You just want to stop suffering for a while. For me, I have always found solace in the small things, in my imagination, in books. For you, it might be music, or sports, or a stamp collection. The smallest things can save you.
So, in answer to your question, is life worth it? Yes, I think so. Or, at least, yes. It can be.

one thing I will never understand is how normal people are unaffected by movies or books I mean when they watch a movie or finish a book they say “well that was a good movie/book” and they move on while I have an existentional crisis and question the whole universe

stop scrolling for a second.
You’re going to be okay, you’re strong and i’m proud of you. Catch your breath and wash your face. Grab something to drink or to eat and remember to take any medications if you need to, okay?
You’re amazing for making it so far into life; thank you for staying alive.
Now keep going

date the person who says, “have fun, be safe, and call if you need anything” not the person who gets mad at you for going out w/o them
