2 AM Thoughts- Makenzie Campbell
About the book: The poetry of 2 am Thoughts condenses an entire relationship with its untamed emotions and experiences to a single day. As the long hours of the night drag on, so does the love, heartache, and loss. When the dawn breaks, the morning sun brings acceptance, healing, and recovery.
Aim of the post: I will be sharing excerpts from the book that resonate deeply with me, and I think you will find them relatable too.
I indulge myself in a book because diving headfirst into another fantasy is so much more peaceful than living in this reality.
Why do our hearts make the same mistakes over and over? Why do we always return only to leave again? Why is it we come back when we know it's not right?
...you're addicted to the feeling of being loved. If only it were real...
Between my heart and my lips lies the filtration of my thoughts.
I am broken because every time I hear that song or watch that movie or read that book I think of you and a piece of me falls away.
The monsters don't live in my closet or under my bed.
They are the collection of thoughts inside my head.
Pen and paper have healed me much better than any doctor ever could.
If life doesn't present a door
go out and build one
Too often people blame their unhappiness on irrelevant outliers :
money
job
school
parents
These things may set you back, but they cannot stop you. The only reason you're not where you want to be is the excuses that spill out of your mouth.
Whatever troubles you from your past, let it go.
If you do not like the story that has unfolded over the years then close the book, grab a pen, and write yourself a new one.
The past only controls you if you let it.
Do not let it.
Only let it go.
