“You have to accept that some people are not made for deep conversations, or for holding you together when you’re about to fall apart, or for keeping you from unzipping your skin, or for talking you out of suicide, or to love you through the worst moments of your life. Some people are made for shallow exchanges, and ridiculous banter, and nothing more. And that’s okay. That doesn’t make them horrible people because they simply aren’t able to handle a storm like you. It doesn’t make you a bad person because you won’t divulge all the gritty details of your horror show. It makes you smart. You have to accept that there will be people that cannot give you what you need. It doesn’t mean they are not worth keeping in your life. You just have to figure out who these ones are before you’re disappointed. And you have to keep them at arm’s length. You cannot expect everyone in your life to understand, to be nonjudgmental, to get it. But that’s okay, because not everyone was made to impart wisdom, or wax-poetic, or speak on politics and the depravity of society, or discuss how crucial it is that the stigma of mental illness be abolished. There are times when you have to get away from all that heaviness. You have to. And you will need superficial conversation about Kim Kardashian’s arse, or a debate on the color of The Dress. You will need those ones. So don’t go round cutting people off and dropping your friends. You need people for all your seasons. You need people or you won’t survive this.”

—Anonymous, What my therapist told me this morning

“Can’t we at least be friends?” “We were friends, once upon a time. You threw that away. So you can love me, or you can hate me, or you can act like you never even fucking met me, but you don’t get to be my friend.”

from an unfinished story #800 (via thoughts-into-ink)

It's gotta get easier somehow, but not today

Not today - Imagine Dragons

We don’t talk anymore, And that’s okay, But I know you still love me. If that’s true, You’ll keep up with my favorite things. Listen to my favorite music. When new songs come out, Listen to them! Because I’ll be listening to them too. Watch my favorite tv shows. When new episodes come out, Watch them! Because I’ll be watching them too. Watch my favorite movies. When a sequel come out, Watch it! Because I’ll be watching it too. Maybe one day, We’ll be doing these things, At the same time, But we’ll never know, Because we don’t talk anymore. Please, just do anything, Anything that reminds you of me. Because no matter how far deep we’ve gotten, I know you’ll find your way back to me. Please, keep me close to your heart.

We Don’t Talk Anymore But Please Keep Up With Me (via letters-from-alex)

And you can go to parties, get high and wasted, kiss other girls and even talk shit about me trying to forget what we had, but when you find yourself alone, in your room, reading a book I gave you and wishing you could talk with me that’s when you’ll realize there’s no party worth my absence
