In a life dictated by a calendar and a clock, I take a small sense of joy in the moments when I can simply stop.
It's those times when the world has run its course and all that I could sell was bought, that I am happy to look at my friendships and take stock. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAcM9PYkzmcC
I know people on the other side of the world that know my story but only in parts.129Please respect copyright.PENANAE5ggte11ht
In giving them pieces of that story, I am giving pieces of my heart.129Please respect copyright.PENANA8Be6tEN8H2
If you were to line the pieces up, you can see that it makes me complete.
That way I am never broken or alone when I have to walk the street.129Please respect copyright.PENANAyEe0ZXWxmW
There are people out there who are more like wallflowers that treasure the quiet hours.129Please respect copyright.PENANAt1I8PTPwyV
"You gave yourself the chance to smile today. I'm very happy for you and I wish for good things to come your way."129Please respect copyright.PENANAuNXXmvd2hm
Such short catch-ups where a conversation is honest and not fluffed up with trivial stuff.129Please respect copyright.PENANAPlsCM6eqWi
Not having moments to play together hurts on both sides.129Please respect copyright.PENANATW7oPIHF61
Having comfort in a shared pain is in a strange way a safety that some friendships provide.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEaq4yJ3KDv
Everyone takes turns disagreeing with your taste in music, or the car you want to drive.129Please respect copyright.PENANASWa9r1q6qP
Each taking a turn to laugh, no matter how much everyone wants to cry.129Please respect copyright.PENANAfFVWeMdFnW
As the conversation ends, you just wonder, "When will we do this again?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAv3aSZHZu07
Take the days and ways you tell friends how much you care for them.129Please respect copyright.PENANAsaGGKkcPGy
Make a point of saying just how much you care, and how much you value them every now and then.129Please respect copyright.PENANAneamNUp1T0
I have issues finding people I can trust.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEcl4YB2e8S
This is a horrible way to live, and one that I feel I must.129Please respect copyright.PENANARsXSd0kJqA
As such, I have learned to open up with a lot of help.129Please respect copyright.PENANA46ieLwmKUV
Because of their kindness, I grew into a better version of myself.129Please respect copyright.PENANA6PpjFS8lzs
I'm still a basket case with a mind and heart that is all over the place, but if running towards the quiet hours is part of the pursuit of happiness, then I am willing to keep up the chase.129Please respect copyright.PENANAZPtRAqiKUR
