I am both worse and better than you thought.” — Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals Of Sylvia Plath

I was quiet; but I was not blind.” — Jane Austen.

The older I get, the more I understand that it’s okay to live a life others don’t understand.

It's crazy how trauma causes you to push people away when all you ever wanted is to be loved.

Honestly it’s such a euphoric feeling the instant you notice it started raining

no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice

i want someone to look at me and think “wow, you mean so much to me, i don’t ever want to lose you.” because fuck am i sick of chasing after people who don’t even want to be in my life in the first place.

people hate when you show them how it feels to be treated the way they treat you.

i’m that kind of person who keeps letters and birthday cards, tickets from trains, parks or museums.

I may legally be an adult but don’t be fooled, I have no idea what the hell im doing

When you come back, you will not be you. And I may not be I.” — E.M. Forster // The Other Boat

that kind of love that’s “i was scared until i found you.” that kind of love that’s worth it to try romance again. the “fuck i’ll try cheesy if it just makes you smile” love, the roses and love notes and wine bottles. the twinkle light love, the “let’s go on this romantic date only to spend the whole thing being silly” love, the dancing badly to slow songs love, the “i don’t know how you make me laugh so much but seriously stop it i’m trying to drive” love. the “i trust you love,” calling late at night because a secret just welled up in my throat love, the first person i talk to so i can figure out this decision is you kind of love. the “i was hurt before and had given up but then i found you” love, the incredulous in-awe love, the wonder love, the are you actually real or am i dreaming you love. the “i didn’t believe in soulmates before you” love. that kinda love.

You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.” — Colleen Hoover, November 9

You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” — A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

No, you’re not a bad person… and I’m not a bad person. We’re just people and people sometimes do stupid things.” — Francesca Zappia, Made You Up
