Eww-kill-me - Dani/avry

learn to clasp your own bracelets, your own necklaces; to tie your own ties or zip-up your own dresses just as you’ve learned to tie your own shoes what i’m saying is, teach yourself the kind of independence you’ve always craved (but in years’ time, have grown to fear) learn to stand on your own two feet even if you stumble and fall at first  it’s okay; it’s okay to fall just like it’s okay to be afraid just like it’s okay to need help  but don’t anchor yourself to someone else; don’t grow dependent on another when the person you really need to rely on is yourself  allow yourself to ease away from the safety of the shore to embrace the unknown depths that the world has to offer  don’t let the terror of drowning keep you from swimming

“When I met you, flowers started growing in the darkest parts of my mind.”

“And the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.” - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist (via the-book-diaries)

Mom

…mom.?

Is that what i called you?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

You left,

your family,

your choice

.mother.?

Is that what I called you?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

You didn’t have to

You could’ve waited

You could’ve stayed for me

Mama.?

Is that what I called you.?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

Every Birthday,

Every Thanksgiving

Every Christmas

I wished for only one thing

I wished for you

Mommy.?

Is that what I called you.?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

You ceased to smile

You ceased to care

You ceased to love

…nothing..

I called you nothing

Because you chose to stop breathing…

…and I was too young…

..too young to know..

i hold on to little pieces of what we were

i know we’re long gone, but take it easy because it hurts
