Tonight is the most peaceful night I’ve had in a really long time.

I can’t sleep, but honestly I’m not gonna mind that til I have to get up at 12.

As I lay on the couch somewhere between sleep and wakefulness with Owen’s cover of Springsteen’s “Stolen Car” playing in my right ear, I was reminded in a second-long moment of 10-Planck length-from-sleep that everything is okay.

• Things don’t hurt like they did before school let out. I’m torn between whether or not they hurt at all.
• Falling asleep when it’s dark is a lovely idea.
• It’s summer, so quit being such a bummer.

And I realized I don’t think I miss her anymore. I reflected on mornings at 6 AM when she would wake and I fall asleep, and I didn’t find myself longing for them. I found my heart smiling at how happy I was then.

I think I know, at least for this hopefully-temporary moment of alertness, that I’m going to be okay.

in 7 hours I’m cutting this long mane of hair which has held 6 years of sadness and heartbreak.

Maybe it’ll start a new chapter of life.

“Chapter 4: It’s All Good, Homie. Go Back To Bed.”

This is the last animal I’ll ever let myself get close to. I dunno what I’ll do when she’s gone. (Taken with instagram)

Mine and my mother’s relationship is identical to Charlie Bartlett and his mother’s.

So let’s just see what happens when the summer ends. (Taken with instagram)

I’m kinda worried because not a single thing in life seems appealing right now except this Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin record and going to Cumberland Falls.
