"Fall In Love With Someone Who Chooses You. Someone Who Fights For What You Have When Difficulty Hangs

"Fall in love with someone who chooses you. Someone who fights for what you have when difficulty hangs heavy in the air, someone who insists that you are stronger together, capable of beating the odds, capable of turning even the messiest parts of life into lessons instead of reasons to leave. Fall in love with someone who is your calm place in a chaotic world; someone who builds your restless heart a safe space within their own.

Fall in love with someone who takes the time to remember how you like your coffee in the morning, someone who just picks up on your energy because they have made the effort to dive into the depth of it. Fall in love with someone who pays attention, someone who reaches for your hand when you're having a nightmare, someone who holds you a little tighter when the world tries to soften you. Fall in love with someone who cares enough to see you.

Fall in love with someone who inspires you to be a better person. Someone who shows you the gardens within your soul where you only ever used to see cemeteries. Fall in love with someone who makes you believe in your goodness, someone who supports you, who ruthlessly encourages your mind and your talent every moment you question your purpose. Fall in love with someone who is proud of you.

But most importantly an effort that stretches far beyond poetic words or passive convenience. Fall in love with someone who genuinely fills your life with wonder, and foundation, and the kind of hope that spills out of you and into everything you do. Fall in love with someone who teaches you that love can be rediscovered, reimagined is honest and gracious and so for you that it feels like it was knit into your every cell before you even met them. Fall in love with someone who makes you want to be vulnerable, someone who shows you that it is okay to have faith in the heart of another, that it is courageous to try for something. - fall in love with someone who makes - transformed into something that it is courageous to try for something.

Just fall in love with someone who is both your safe place, and your biggest adventure. And never forget that you can also be this person for yourself, too."

I am not the first person you loved. You are not the first person I looked at with a mouthful of forevers. We have both known loss like the sharp edges of a knife. We have both lived with lips more scar tissue than skin. Our love came unannounced in the middle of the night. Our love came when we'd given up on asking love to come. I think that has to be part of its miracle. This is how we heal. I will kiss you like forgiveness. You will hold me like I'm hope. Our arms will bandage and we will press promises between us like flowers in a book. I ill write sonnets to the salt of sweat on your skin. I will write novels to the scar of your nose. I will write a dictionary of all the words I have used trying to describe the way it feels to have finally, finally found you. And I will not be afraid of your scars. I know sometimes it's still hard to let me see you in all your cracked perfection, but please know: whether it's the days you burn more brilliant than the sun or the nights you collapse into my lap your body broken into a thousand questions, you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I will love you when you are a still day. I will love you when you are a hurricane.

Please, just let love in. Tell people how you feel, and do not worry about being too much. Be too much. Care too much. Let people show up for you. Let people remind you that there is goodness in this world. Be vulnerable, do not be afraid of what you feel. Try to find the beauty in each breakdown, try to move forward and let go; try to learn and believe in new beginnings despite what you have been through. Kiss the faces of your friends, hug their broken pieces back together, laugh loudly and hope loudly and live loudly and be gentle with yourself, be gentle with your healing. Connect, connect, connect – with every ounce of who you are, with every inch of your patchwork heart. Connect with the people who make you feel deeply. Connect with the moments that bring tears to your eyes. Connect with the things that make your hands shake, embrace the things that make you aware of just how lucky you are to be alive. Please, just connect because beautiful things are vanishing each and every day. Do not let your heart become one of them.♡

Someday someone is gonna be so soft and gentle with your heart, you're gonna be so glad you kept it open. You're gonna wonder why you ever thought about quiting it down♡

Love. love isn't having butterflies all the time, i think love is calm. love is comfortable. i could sit in silence with for the rest of our lives and it would you mean more than a thousand words with anyone else
