Try to overcome your doubt. Believe you are beautiful. Look at yourself through someone else’s green eyes. Believe someone out there will find you and kiss your skin until you can feel it blister with the heat. Believe in something bigger than your problems and you will be saved. Look up at the beautiful “melon sky”. It will answer all your questions. It will unite us against the machine. My best friend taught me the best way to battle the machine is to ignore it. Ignore the obnoxious hipsters. Ignore those who will put you in a box because of what country you were spat out of. Ignore the judgmental indie rockers. Ignore the trench coat mafia. Ignore the right wing fanatics. Ignore anyone who rubs you the wrong way. Ignore me if you need to but don’t ignore love. It’s what I am fighting for.
