I wish
I could hear
on my birthday
this year
someone say
“I’m glad you’re here.”
But then
I remember –
you did.
I just
didn’t listen.

I read once that as a species we have a tendency to focus on the bad things as a survival tactic, which did two things for me: it taught me that remembering good things requires effort, and it's hard to do otherwise when you're in survival mode. It's good you've survived this long. I hope you find a point in your life when you stop running, when you can sit down and remember the good things.

I have read that also, and I try to remember the good things as often as possible. Certain people here on DA help with that a lot.

Yes, and sometimes I think it's even more difficult to believe it later on...like ok that person meant it yesterday, is it still truth today. But in the end it feels more like my own unwillingness to believe than their lack of sincerity.
