But the thing I will never admit to anyone who’s met me is how desperately I want to be loved, I don’t think I could say it. How I want someone to hold my wrists and kiss my palms and smile at me, and want me, I want to be wanted and I don’t know how long poetry or songs will substitute for being wanted.

one day, someone will consistently show up for you and you'll realise what safety feels like.

the entire point of life is to be silly, kind, and really weird btw.

I love reading a book you are slightly too stupid for

the inherent pain of wanting to start again but also the inherent joy of getting to start again

my hobbies? uhh.. peeling back the layers…. uncovering metaphors.. mirroring…..connecting dots…..stuff like that

i pay attention to shit you wouldn’t even think i’m paying attention to.

The emotional whiplash of realizing the mortality of the people around you

this is me all day

sometimes you just want to lie down and read a book

words of affirmation. there's nothing wrong with me i choose to be like this every day for the bit

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

I like pure and clear intentions.

Forgiveness is a lover I crawl into bed with nightly, even when I know I shouldn’t.

your character gotta hold more weight than your appearance for me to desire you
