These blogs can get way too personal.

These blogs can get way too personal.
way too real.
way too permanent.

and then everyone I know knows something about me.
something only I am supposed to share with myself.

and yet I write.

I write because I hope you have felt the same way

and that if we do feel the same way,
we can know its okay to feel these complicated emotions

that steal the sleep from our tired eyes,
that make us smoke that burning nicotine,
that make us watch our screens endlessly.

that we all have these bundled up hearts,
and if you are okay with it,
maybe we should meet over a cup of chai and
just talk?
