“I hope you’ll have days when you’ll fall in love with being alive.”
— downthesky (via shareaquote)
“You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul, but cracks to put their love into, is the most calming thing in this world.”
— Emery Allen (via perrfectly)
“Commit yourself to yourself. Learn your self-love language. What is it that makes you grow? What is it that makes you heal? What is it that makes you feel okay? Is it having a day alone to yourself? Is it adventure with those you deeply feel close to? Is it your constant need for change? A new haircut perhaps? A new book to submerge yourself into? A new set of clothes to look cute in? Discover what makes that fire within you shine brilliantly. Learn your self-love language. Commit yourself to yourself. You deserve to feel okay with your existence.”
— Juansen Dizon, Self-Love Language
“Progress is a unique thing that everyone carries. It looks different for every person as to what I learned from therapy which is that everyone does things at their own fucking pace. So fuck what society thinks you should do because you’re doing just fine. You’re trying. You’re moving. You’re believing that things will get better eventually through everything that you do. The worst enemy of your growth is comparing yourself to others.”
— Juansen Dizon, Progress
“what do I want from you? your loyalty your patience your affection your moonlit eyes your sunless smile the way my melancholy is soft with your melancholy the way they’re becoming very close friends eating from the same bread drinking from the same cup the smell of your bedroom the feel of you the scent of you the touch of you the way you say my name how it sounds different in your mouth your wild laugh your non-stop kisses the way they silence my doubts the way you wear my love on your skin for all the flowers to see. the way you are beautiful just as you are.”
— Juansen Dizon, Desires
“I don’t talk to the moon that much anymore but sometimes I want to just because I miss the way her laugh sounds when we talk about heartbreak and I want to tell her that summer has passed perhaps my last. she may also laugh again.”
— Juansen Dizon, My Funnest Days Are Behind Me
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch (via books-n-quotes)
Things that say a lot about people:
- the way which they treat the waiter/waitress
- how they feel about the weather
- whether they dog ear pages or highlight in books
- fingernails
- and hands in general
- their preferred creative outlet
- how much they dread/enjoy talking on the phone
- whether or not they drink coffee
- if they ever forget to eat
- how honest they are with themselves (and others)
- if they correct your grammar
- and whether or not they get nervous before haircuts

Have you ever met someone and grow attached to them and think “it’s gonna hurt real bad when they leave”
I think the most degrading feelings I’ve ever felt was begging someone to stick around on me. It’s a low feeling to be that vulnerable to beg for someone. In those times I realized how foolish it was of me. The ones that love me will find simplicity in never going anywhere. To them I will never be just a choice.
I want a “just checking in” kind of love.
a “baby did you eat today?” kind of love.
a “you’re the first person I told” kind of love.
an “I gotta kiss you before you leave” kind of love
an “I love you” before we say bye kind of love.
an “I noticed that you need this so I got it for you” kind of love.
a “we’re not going to bed til we’ve made up” kind of love.
a wipe my tears away kind of love.
a nonstop joke fest until I smile again kind of love.
a goofy smile when I walk in the room kind of love.
a hold me until my panic attack passes kind of love.
a rub my back after work kind of love.
I just want to feel completely, totally, truly loved.
