Hey Ryan, it’s me.. again.

Let me just start with the point.. I’m scared. Scratch that, I’m terrified. Absolutely afraid and alone – thinking that you’re slipping away or maybe you were just never there. I’ve always been a strong believer of the supernatural & of faith and guardian angels. I swore you were my angel – hey Ryan, it’s me.. again. Are you still there?

I’m terrified that my faith is slipping. Where did it go? And, why did it leave? Why did you leave & can you even hear me? I’m terrified that one day I’m not going to remember your voice & that maybe, I’ll never hear it again. I promised you that one day we’ll meet again. I promised you that we’ll sit in Heaven’s cafe – hey Ryan, it’s me.. again. Can I keep my promise?

You were there after you were gone. Standing in my dreams – a reminder of a friendship that could withstand something as final as death. I’m terrified that I don’t feel you anymore. That you grew tired and left. That you couldn’t deal with my mundane problems or you were tired of wiping away my tears – hey Ryan, it’s me.. again. Can you tell me that you never left?

Hey Ryan, it’s me.. again. I remember that phone call – the one that changed everything. I remember the tears I cried & how it seemed nothing could possibly get better. I remember the promise I made – the one that said that I will stay strong for you. I’m so so sorry that I’ve lost my strength. I promise that I’m going to hold on – hey Ryan, it’s me.. again. I promise, I will never stop loving you.

I have advice for people who want to write. I don’t care whether they’re 5 or 500. There are three things that are important: First, if you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you. Where you just put down what you think about life, what you think about things, what you think is fair and what you think is unfair. And second, you need to read. You can’t be a writer if you’re not a reader. It’s the great writers who teach us how to write. The third thing is to write. Just write a little bit every day. Even if it’s for only half an hour—write, write, write.

evviefrye:

Frank & Karen get “married” so she doesn’t have to testify against Frank in court. Prompted by @punishpage!
Desperate times scream for desperate measures & this was definitely one of those measures. Her thumb rubs against her left ring finger, a smirk now sneaking its way upon lips as she considers their current situation. Married? — as a pre-teen she envisioned her wedding day a tad-bit more elegant than storming the court-room & announcing their ‘I do’s before trudging off into the crime-ridden Hell’s Kitchen.
