Don’t allow routine to cancer your bones. Learn to wake up and break the everyday cycles of life that you succumb to. When the days come that it seems like your lungs are homeless and are laboring to bring themselves back to a familiar place where the loneliness subsides, when it feels like your thoughts are running a marathon in the back of your mind, when it feels like your eyelids become like anchors, when it feels like your soul is a weight that sits at the pit of your stomach — so heavy that you you’re drowning in all that you are… Whenever this happens, and let’s not pretend that it doesn’t, you have to recognize that normality can be blinding. You have to find the fireflies that hide in the darkest corners of your obscurity and capture them in mason jars. Hang them from the collar bones you work so hard to show, the strings of your heart that you always wear on your sleeve, or the concavity of your lips so that you have a forever companion with whom you can always find a light to guide you — to re-discover and explore yourself. Today, wipe that schedule of what’s always been known off of the chalkboard of your mind; rewind, recycle, and renew.
