I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.

Blue Valentine (2010)

there are three stars and one airplane out tonight and I made the same wish on all of them. i don’t know where i’m really going, just that i shouldn’t be out this late and most of the streetlights are on and i wish none of them were. i’ve been sleeping in the dark for a week because i don’t care what comes for me. and that’s the thing with me: i don’t overcome my fears. i just stop being scared of what could happen.

You have to protect yourself from sadness. Sadness is very close to hate. Let me tell you this. This is the thing I learned. If you take in someone else’s poison – thinking you can cure them by sharing it – you will instead store it within you.

note to self
- stop checking who’s watching your story compulsively, or at all - stop checking if theyve read your message - stop deleting posts and pictures when they dont get enough attention - who cares if they can hear your music blasting through your earphones, turn it up - stop comparing yourself to her. you are enough - stop apologizing for being sick - stop refreshing your notifications, my fingers are so sore - ignore the urge to conform to their expectations - stop talking, listen - do not let people tell you to calm down - stop trying to get them to want you , if they want you they will ask - stop making the same mistakes - stop feeling bad about thinking of his body against yours - stop refraining from appreciating yourself - stop explaining yourself - create. - you dont need people - stop feeling everything so damn much

“So,” she started casually, as if she were about to ask him what movie they should watch.
“When did you fall in love with me?”
He almost choked on the handful of popcorn he had grabbed and gave her an incredulous look. She just grinned cheekily at him.
“I don’t want to tell you.”
“Oh, come on, why not?” She pouted.
“It’s cheesy as fuck.”
She laughed, and as a way of encouragement, said, “I like cheesy.”
He looked at her for a moment and then rolled his eyes and sighed.
“It was a couple of months back, when we were studying for finals in the library. I left to go find a book we both needed but when I was walking back, I stopped. You were sitting in the same spot but you looked different; I couldn’t stop staring. The rays of light were pouring in from the big window and they made your hair look like gold, and your eyes glowed. A girl walked past me and said, “You’re looking at her like she’s the goddamn sun. Don’t ever let her go.”
He winced, as if he couldn’t believe he was saying this out loud, but continued.
His cheeks were tinged a rosy shade of pink.
“When she said that, all I could think was, I never fucking will.”

“Do you think he ever loved me?” she asked quietly, grabbing the vodka bottle and taking a large gulp.
His best friend looked over at her and shrugged; it was another blow to her already broken heart and she took another swig. He gave an exasperated sigh and yanked the bottle from her grip, placing it on the other side of him, away from her grasp.
“He loved you more than anything in this entire goddamn world,” he told her, and it was true. She was all he talked about for months.
“Then why did he leave?”
“He loved you,” he repeated, pausing, “and that terrified him. He wasn’t ready for it to hit him that hard and when it did, he did the same thing every person in his life he ever cared for did to him.”
She understood now.
“He fled,” she whispered.
