Hi. Happy 7 months babe. I don’t know if you can see this or not but I turned off my phone so I can get this done and also, I don’t want you talking to an idiot. I’m so dumb for trying to make surprises and a plan and not being able to pull through. I will understand if you’re mad at me :)
Anyways, I can’t have asked for a better girlfriend, best friend, lover, homie, etc. Words cannot describe how much you mean to me! I love talking to you for hours even when I have things to do and receiving all your love. Thank you for letting myself be me around you. I still get those feelings every time and I know they’re here to stay. I love you.

I think I spend too much time wondering why I’m not good enough. I spend too much time over analyzing, over thinking, and overreacting. I waste too much time putting myself down, for things that I can no longer change. I’ve been spending too much time with my head down and heart closed to see that the sun is still shining and that tomorrow is another day.
Life is what I make it out to be, and as long as I keep going.. I know I’m going to be ok.

Let’s raise our glasses to the ones we’ve left behind and toast to the ones who are still with us. Life gets difficult and having ones who constantly reassure you couldn’t feel any better. I don’t need much. I have enough.
So, what now? Sometimes I get stuck in a state of uncertainty; not knowing how to react, what to say or where to go, but I eventually find myself. There are moments where I feel like I’m fading into nihility, but it doesn’t last long because in those moments, I further my self-discovery. Muffled voices and droning echoes encapsulate me so even if I was done, I’m really not. I have nothing shielding me and no one to remove me from this limbo, but I don’t mind standing alone. It’s a beautiful thing that I’ve learned to embrace. A blank page is what I am - paint me some peace, color me passion, sketch me uncontrollable happiness. Be my hurricane, my tornado, the storm that takes me by surprise and sweeps me off my feet. The feeling of flying and the feeling of falling almost seems agnate. Kindred spirit of mine, I hope your essence will never dissipate from my heart.
Gateway of the Mind
In 1983, a team of deeply pious scientists conducted a radical experiment in an undisclosed facility. The scientists had theorized that a human without access to any senses or ways to perceive stimuli would be able to perceive the presence of God. They believed that the five senses clouded our awareness of eternity, and without them, a human could actually establish contact with God by thought. An elderly man who claimed to have “nothing left to live for” was the only test subject to volunteer. To purge him of all his senses, the scientists performed a complex operation in which every sensory nerve connection to the brain was surgically severed. Although the test subject retained full muscular function, he could not see, hear, taste, smell, or feel. With no possible way to communicate with or even sense the outside world, he was alone with his thoughts.
Scientists monitored him as he spoke aloud about his state of mind in jumbled, slurred sentences that he couldn’t even hear. After four days, the man claimed to be hearing hushed, unintelligible voices in his head. Assuming it was an onset of psychosis, the scientists paid little attention to the man’s concerns.
Two days later, the man cried that he could hear his dead wife speaking with him, and even more, he could communicate back. The scientists were intrigued, but were not convinced until the subject started naming dead relatives of the scientists. He repeated personal information to the scientists that only their dead spouses and parents would have known. At this point, a sizable portion of scientists left the study.
After a week of conversing with the deceased through his thoughts, the subject became distressed, saying the voices were overwhelming. In every waking moment, his consciousness was bombarded by hundreds of voices that refused to leave him alone. He frequently threw himself against the wall, trying to elicit a pain response. He begged the scientists for sedatives, so he could escape the voices by sleeping. This tactic worked for three days, until he started having severe night terrors. The subject repeatedly said that he could see and hear the deceased in his dreams.
Only a day later, the subject began to scream and claw at his non-functional eyes, hoping to sense something in the physical world. The hysterical subject now said the voices of the dead were deafening and hostile, speaking of hell and the end of the world. At one point, he yelled “No heaven, no forgiveness” for five hours straight. He continually begged to be killed, but the scientists were convinced that he was close to establishing contact with God.
After another day, the subject could no longer form coherent sentences. Seemingly mad, he started to bite off chunks of flesh from his arm. The scientists rushed into the test chamber and restrained him to a table so he could not kill himself. After a few hours of being tied down, the subject halted his struggling and screaming. He stared blankly at the ceiling as teardrops silently streaked across his face. For two weeks, the subject had to be manually rehydrated due to the constant crying. Eventually, he turned his head and, despite his blindness, made focused eye contact with a scientist for the first time in the study. He whispered “I have spoken with God, and he has abandoned us” and his vital signs stopped. There was no apparent cause of death.
