I have measured out my life in coffee-spoons (Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T. S. Eliot)

I hope you remember to eat today.
I hope that waking causes you no pain.
I hope you throw the bathroom scale away,
And stop measuring life in loss and gain.
I hope that you say "I love you" tonight,
And I hope you still do come tomorrow.
I hope that you spread your wings and take flight,
And I hope that you out-fly your sorrow.
I hope you remember to treat you well.
I hope you write yourself a love letter.
I hope that by the sunrise, you can tell
That you are strong, and things will get better.
I hope today, you see that you're lovely,
You're good enough, and worth recovery.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
