rondine

Sandro Botticelli

holding my own face in my own hands and screaming “there is no connection without an open heart! you must be brave! you must be honest! you must be true!” in the mirror

Love should catch like food in the teeth.

(I’m once again trying to find the text post that Inspired this)

This is inspired by @fairycosmos post I couldn’t find it forever and no one knew what I was talking about so sorry for the delayed credit <3

— Brenda Hillman, from "Escape & Logic," In a Few Minutes Before Later

i carry a yearning i cannot bear alone in the dark—

the mortifying ordeal of being known x the overwhelming urge to be loved

What if you drew a little flower on my hand and then maybe you’d feel better

All of my bones are made of resin with dried flowers in them

an intense hatred of capitalism vs an intense love of trinkets

good morning to fairies elves gnomes sprites and other mischievous beings

Good-night, sweet princess. You are still on your own; be stoic; don't panic; get through this hell to the generous sweet overflowing giving love of spring.
