"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."

looking back on old photos of yourself is an act of mourning, always. how many times have you looked at pictures of yourself from even just a few months ago and thought “who is that? did i look like that? she’s beautiful” but fail to reconcile it with how you felt. that girl is me and that girl is beautiful but i have never been her, y’know? and the cycle is endless. i am always longing to be myself from two years ago, or six months ago, or last night. SHE was beautiful in ways i don’t know how to be now. i’m grieving for the death of my past selves, constantly, and grieving for the time they wasted mourning THEIR predecessors when they could’ve been feeling beautiful. in between disparaging remarks about the weight she holds around her midsection, my mother shows me photos from when she was younger and handles them gently; “i was kind of a looker back then, wasn’t i?” i wonder what i’ll be saying about this body in thirty years. i wonder if it’ll be kind

Something I’m still trying to learn and get in my head

‪I am a GOOD freaking person with a BIG heart. And when I care about someone I will go out of my way and give them the whole damn world and more. But eventually, after time and time of being treated like shit, disrespected and made to feel like nothing I do is ever good enough, I’ll stop. Not because I don’t care anymore, because I always will, because that’s who I am, but because I need to learn that that’s not fair to ME. I deserve appreciation. Reciprocation. Eventually I need to learn that they don’t care, never have and never will. And nothing I do can or will change that. ‬

I met someone. He’s hot, he’s confident and he likes me. And I’m gay. And he’s gay. And we’re gay… together. And it’s the most me I’ve ever felt in my whole life.

You don’t have to pretend like you don’t know who I am. You don’t have to pretend like you do, I really don’t care.
