Buy the Fucking Shoes
We’re living in a country where our government believes that fighting war with war will stop people from going to war, a government that thinks educating our nation's children with the knowledge of BIDMAS is more important than educating them with the knowledge of how tax and wages work, and how to go about budgeting your money so that when it comes to renting or buying a property you don’t end up in a shit storm of debt; a government that’s more interested in piling tax on to products containing sugar or cigarettes than fixing our pothole filled roads.

Everything I Could Never Tell You
Years from now I will look back on this and I will completely hate some of myself. We wasted so much time trying to make things perfect that we forgot how to live in the moment and be free spirits and I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry that I pushed you so far and brought you face to face with the worst versions of yourself, almost as though I didn’t have demons of my own. I’m sorry I drank way too much and stayed out way too late, and I’m sorry I didn’t prepare for our future enough. I’m sorry that you expected me to be a little more gentle that one time I cut you with my tongue whilst you shattered in front of my tear-stained eyes. I’m sorry I didn’t sacrifice more, and I’m sorry that there were times when you were not my top priority. I’m sorry that I didn’t cry enough and I’m so, fucking, sorry that I wasn’t who you needed me to be sometimes. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to empathise with you and I’m sorry for every time I made you feel as though you were not good enough. I’m sorry that I didn’t fight enough and I’m sorry I dragged you through hell and promised you heaven at the end of it because we’re way deeper into something so dark and lonely than I ever imagined we could have been.
