Forget me but carry me (in your skin)
We carry a lot of weight on our shoulders. In our heads, our hands, our feet, our muscle memory, our skin. It remembers people that do not have to be in our lives. It remembers the touch, the feel, the taste, the warmth or the cold. It remembers things we do not own anymore. It remembers things we do not remember.
It is not just our mind. It is us as a whole.
One day, I do not have to be here, but you may remember how I felt.

Re(lie)
We lie to ourselves about everything.
We rely on everything but ourselves.
When I lose the connection to reality, I escape to places where no one lies to me. I can’t even lie to myself. No one relies on me there, too, and I can rely only on myself. The nature around you and the nature in you never lies or relies, trust it.
