Mental health is hard.

Butterflies

Standing on the edge of a cliff

Wind in my face

I am with out fear

I have all grace


The dancing sunlight across my cheeks

How often should I breathe

Sinking the weight in my heels

You are my thief


I shift the pressure to the outside of my feet

I extend my arms

The air on my fingertips glides with me

There are no alarms


I am at peace

Do I leap

Take a step

Hold my breath


Eyes closed with a thud

My heart stops

Door's unlocked

Code red special ops


I've dreamt of this

Thought about it

Wanted it

Scared I missed it


The sudden the simple

An uncontrollable window

The longing for a long nap

An abundance of flies on the trap


But then I hear you call my name

My heart comes back to me

The air refills my brain

I lower my arms


She was a stunner

She couldn't be changed

She believed her sights

She knew she was sane


Breathes and steps back

Depression is the delayed thunder after the lightning has already attacked

That sudden feeling when your stomach drops

Butterflies don't go back to caterpillars.

All longing gets lost

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
