i imagine getting my own place all the time and going down to the grocery store early in the morning before everyone else and to the coffee shop and having a really small place with wide windows and lots of plants and shelves of books and a tiny kitchen where i can make tea and noodles and a bed with a pile of blankets and just a place i can make uniquely my own or maybe a place i could share with someone but i just think about this place a lot idk
when I was younger, I used to think true love was tumultuous and intense. but now, I feel like real love is gentle. passionate in a soft, sweet way. not fireworks and drama, but a love that’s like coming home, the breeze on a still summer day. a balm to the aches of the world.
“Caí em meu patético período de desligamento. Muitas vezes, diante de seres humanos bons e maus igualmente, meus sentidos simplesmente se desligam, se cansam, eu desisto. Sou educado. Balanço a cabeça. Finjo entender, porque não quero magoar ninguém. Este é o único ponto fraco que tem me levado à maioria das encrencas. Tentando ser bom com os outros, muitas vezes tenho a alma reduzida a uma espécie de pasta espiritual. Deixa pra lá. Meu cérebro se tranca. Eu escuto. Eu respondo. E eles são broncos demais para perceber que não estou mais ali.”
— Charles Bukowski.

convincing yourself that you’re in love with some dude you don’t really know and who doesn’t know you. It’s all just one of a myriad number of ways to protect your most fragile bits because if someone doesn’t know you, then it isn’t gonna hurt that bad when they don’t love you back.
