i am happy with knowing [the bojack horseman series]

  i'm happy with not knowing how this story truly ends


i like to find solace in things that are indirectly how my life is going

i don't want bojack season 6 cause i am afraid that a fictional horse 

will get better and seek help long before i plan on even thinking about it

i know, somewhere, that making that doctors appointment will help

but i don't want to wallow in self pity about how i should've done this 

sooner. maybe it is easier if i just love a tv show where i find the part of me

in each and every character that i am too afraid of embracing and living


--

i'm still happy not knowing how this story truly ends

i still find myself wondering if
i will ever seek help

i do not need it as much now
i think i finally am actually recovering

but i still do not want to know how it ends
i do not want to see bojack horseman get

better before i truly have
i do not want to see the characters almost

resolve their plotlines before i even
get the chance to figure out mine

maybe this was the point of the end,
to get you thinking about why you haven't

reached your final course to happiness
when the parts of you on the screen have

i think i am still happy even though i know how the story truly ends

i think i now need help
but i do not know where to go

recovery was there as quickly
as it left again

i cannot turn to bojack horseman
because now i know how it ends

i know the ending but not the
final journey it took to get there

i think this ending through healing
is what is keeping me alive

i know a relapse is just me
rewatching the first season

and that recovery is the
progression to season 5

i guess i am content knowing
how the story ends

if i know in the end
everything might just be alright

i think i am still happy even though i know how it reached the end

after 14 months i made myself finish bojack horseman

because i am barely getting through each day.


i hate knowing how my favourite things end

i usually hold onto them with dear life


but for this i finally needed to know

how it got here.


like them i wish i knew

the view from halfway down


i wish i could see where this bump in the road

was taking me towards.


i did not want bojack season 6 because i did 

not want a fictional horse to get better before i did


but in truth he did not get better

and neither did i


i think i find solace in knowing that

recovery is harder than it seems


but maybe this is for the best

because maybe now i can 


do the hokey pokey

and turn it all around.

day one

day one. it doesn't get harder than day one. the flooding realisation that you're back here, after trying so hard. day one. when it ...
