sometimes I wonder how we all survive and then I look at my best friends and I go “oh, I survive because I don’t want to leave you yet” and it makes sense. life is so hard a lot of the time, but I want one more bowl of pasta with you.
in this new year I want you to be alright. I hope you move out. I hope you have enough money to feel safe. I hope you abandon shame and forgive yourself. I hope you get enough sleep and some good news. I hope you laugh a lot and the heaviness of the world eases a bit. I wish you to be alright.
What does true love look like?
it’s kisses on the knuckles and between the shoulder blades and looking at the world and seeing them in everything and looking at them and seeing the world in them and it’s the feeling of waking up in the middle of a summer night and reaching for the cool sheets and everything is hazy and perfect and it’s the first day of spring and a silence that’s screaming in tenderness and eyes and hands and hearts that understand each other more than minds do and it’s the absence of fear and the abundance of safety and serenity and it’s a lot and it’s everything and mostly it’s yours and it does you good it does you so good
what they didn't tell you about love is that it will find its way back safely to you
it's a new day + the sun rose + you're alive + you're alive + you're alive + your heart is beating + you're breathing + you're alive
Watching a soft person come out of a family of insensitive and hard hearted people is like watching a little beam of sunshine come out on the rainiest days.No one ever actually moved the clouds for them,no one ever taught them kindness,it was a choice,one that they made every day.They didn’t just survive the bad days,they came out of it as a softer person.It’s not like the issues didn’t effect them,and it’s not like they didn’t cry rivers over it,but they knew better than to continue the cycle of pain and sadness.
changing every “i should have known better” to “i know better now”. i will not judge past versions of me through the lens of who i am now.

so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you
I think ‘I adore you’ is such a wonderful phrase, it’s so soft and loving and feels so safe and comforting
u know what makes me cry..... that one van gogh quote about life changing for the better..... “many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. and it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘what do i care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ yes, evil often seems to surpass good. but then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. one morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. and so i must still have hope.” yeah..... Crying....
If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.
