Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, or. publ. c. 1837
I can physically feel the sadness in my body and i just want to be happy for once
Where do we lay down our pain when it’s too much to bear? When it feels ugly and raw? I don’t want to run away from it, I’ve ran away from my pain many times just to end up feeling like a stranger to myself. This time I want to hold it, I want to bear witness of it. How can i turn something that feels so ugly within me and turn it into a gracious part of me? I want to be good. For me. For us. I want to love the world inside me.
It's funny how you were the one who wanted me first and after making me want you too, you left without any notice.
Leaving me wanting someone, who will never want me again.
Healing my Heart // Bela H.
And I still hope that one day I'll get that drunk text from you telling me how much you miss me. Not because I miss you, but because I hope you regret that it ended the way it did.
“I am nothing in my soul if not obsessive.”
— Donna Tartt, The Secret History
maybe you weren’t the one for me but deep down I wanted you to be
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me
Vincent van Gogh, from a letter to his brother Theo (The Hague, on or about Sunday, 7 May 1882)
