If Someone Cant See Your Value, Dont Try To Keep Showing Them. Theyre Cant See What They Dont Want To

if someone can’t see your value, don’t try to keep showing them. they’re can’t see what they don’t want to see.

Yeah i have a dark past (being 13). Just an absolutely horrible backstory (being 13). It would keep you up at night if i told you about it (i was 13 one time)

LOVE WILL FIND YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN WHEN YOU THINK IT WON'T

i miss everyone i ever met all the time
