grief never goes away. the loss of someone’s presence simply becomes easier to accept with time. just because you accept this loss, it doesn’t mean it hurts less. things will remind you of them - it’s okay to cry or feel sad no matter how long it’s been.
i hate small talk. i want to hear about your childhood, your favorite scents, what types of music you like, your religious views, where you want to live when you get older, what keeps you up at night, how much certain things mean to you, your insecurities & fears.
