guilty
guilty of coveting the girl on my media
her hair, her clothes, her smile
her quirky little captions and the places she goes
i throw myself into her cute shoes
pretend that her friends are mine and wonder what it'd be like to be her
to live a day in her seemingly picture perfect world
...
but then i wonder
how many girls
look at me
and say the same things?
do we have an unending circle
of wanting to be each other?
what if we learned to love our own lives?
the off-camera moments of
the loud car rides
the undocumented laughter and love
do we take those moments for granted
just because they're not cropped and edited?
we plaster ourselves with a 'melancholy' label
because we didn't go see that band
or capture the right angle
but the truth is: life is messy
your life deserves to be enjoyed
not filtered
take pictures
but take them of sunsets going 80 down the freeway
of yourself, laughing over a stupid joke
of your friends and your family
so what if your life is simple?
it's simply beautiful
no one except you gets to experience your life
so turn off the screen
and smile a little wider
cut loose and dance
but most importantly
don't forget that you are the only you
and no one can take you away

just some thoughts i've had on my mind! love you all! <3
