Not because I miss you, but because I hope you regret letting it end the way it did. // The profoundest distances are never geographical. // It’s weird to feel like you miss someone you’re not even sure you know // 'I don’t dress up for boys.I dress up to stare at my reflection as I walk by store windows.'. //"THEY STARTED MISSING YOU WHEN THEY FAILED TO REPLACE YOU" // "I LOOK FOR YOU EVERYWHERE, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO IF I ACTUALLY SAW YOU." // "IT’S ALWAYS NICE BEING WANTED. EVEN IF IT’S BY THE WRONG PERSON." //"I HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IN 2016"// its like literally every moment with her is an editorial opportunity // I always think about how you don’t think about meI always think about how you don’t think about me // I don’t care how popular or how attractive you are, it’s pointless if my soul not feelin it // "I am the most indecisive person on this earth, yet I was so fucking sure of you."

AND HERE’S THE THING: YOU ARE CAPABLE OF SO MUCH MORE, AND YOU WILL BE, IF YOU START WORKING TOWARDS THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LITTLE BETTER. SLOWLY BIT BY BIT, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF BEING SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU WERE IN THE PAST."

I loved you on this day. I love this memory.

 if you take things seriously, they matter.

Find someone who admires you for something less obvious.

I am still drinking about IT.

The only things I regret, and the only things I’ll ever regret are things I didn’t do. In the end, that’s what we mourn. The paths we didn’t take. The people we didn’t touch.

I didn’t need you, you idiot. I picked you. And then you picked me back.

We revisit
old feelings for
the same reason
we re-read books —
comfort in words familiar
even though we
know the endings.

Just remember. You are still a Beautiful Flower. Even if you are planted in the wrong garden right now.

When we first met we’d hit it off well. We will share interesting facts about ourselves and we’d be fascinated by each other. Over time, I’d get used to you and start opening up, showing you a little bit more of myself, what kind of person I actually am.

Then one day, yes the day will come. It will always come. One day, I’d say something out of place. Maybe I was trying to impress you, but I made an inappropriate joke. Maybe I was just trying to tell you about something I feel, something you don’t like to hear. But the day will come and it will be our last day talking.

I’m an extremely sensitive person. Sometimes a little too sensitive I’d over-detect and overthink. But once I get comfortable to a person, the walls will come down and I might get a little too oblivious to the feelings of the people around me, and that will be the death of me.

- “Reason why I can never stick to the same friend throughout.” 

Sometimes I hate you, sometimes I hate myself, but always I miss you.

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.

And sometimes, I find myself making a reference to one of our inside jokes and laughing at it before I realize there’s no one here to laugh with me anymore.

One day I won’t be able to remember the tempting colour of your eyes, or even the way you used to laugh. I look forward to that day.

I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.

There are some people in your life who bring back old memories. And there are others - your first kiss, your first love, your first sex - who, the moment you see them, bring a spark…and something far more potent. They bring back your old life and with that, potential. And possibilities. And the feeling that if you were back in that time, life could be so very different from where you’re stuck right now. That’s the most tantalizing thing… I want my potential back.

The profoundest distances are never geographical.

I feel I have already been here before...

I can’t really write about you anymore. You took everything from me. You kissed your knuckles before you punched my face, thinking it would make everything okay. You always told me you needed a day away from me but I could never fathom how the sand could ever desire to be away from the water. I thought we were a perfect match but it turns out you were just one flip away from finding what you needed. I wasn’t what you needed.

This morning in my coffee
I remembered the taste of your kiss
and the nine hundred and twelve times
we said good-bye before work-
sleepy eyes and hazelnut kisses.
I miss,
this.

Sometimes you don’t get closure, or an explanation as to why. Sometimes all they leave you with is a broken heart, and two tattered lungs. But kid, those lungs are still breathing and your heart is still beating. You still have strength, and purpose, and just because he left doesn’t mean a part of you should be lost. You have always been whole. He did not complete you. The day you realize that, is the day you summon the will to pick yourself up out of goddamn the dirt, instead of waiting for someone to take your hand and do it for you.

The more you hide your feelings, the more they show. The more you deny your feelings, the more they grow.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment , until it becomes a memory.

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.

She was desperate and she was choosey at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn’t have quite enough going for her to become what she imagined herself to be.

Picture this. Ten years from now, you’re sitting in a big house, all white picket fence and porch swings. Ten years ago you swore you’d be living in a big city with her by your side but something happened along the way and you watched as those plans disintegrated in the palms of your hands. You watch the sunrise and you watch the sunset and you wonder if she’s somewhere on the other side of the planet like she promised. “I gotta get out of here,” she said, “it doesn’t matter how I do it or where I go, I’m getting out.”

Picture this. Twenty years from now, you find your first grey hair. You dutifully have that middle aged panic attack that everyone seems obliged to have and you screw up your eyes and pull it out. Your life is pretty steady now: good, calm, like you’ve finally figured things out. “I’m getting old,” you grumble. And somewhere, at the back of your mind, you wonder if she’s getting old too.

Picture this. Fifty years from now your hair is like snow (if you have any, that is). Your walking stick is your new best friend and memories seem to flit in and out of your head like clouds in the sky. Most days you can’t remember what you had for breakfast or what you’ll have for tea, and some days it’s beginning to hurt to breathe. It’s on these occasions, when your chest is heavy and you have to sit down, that you remember her. You think how true it is that you don’t forget the people you loved when you were young. You may not remember yesterday’s weather but you remember the fifty year old summer breeze and complaining about her hair in your face. “I wonder if she’s happy,” you say, and people mistake it for mindless rambling. “I hope she found what she was looking for.”

- S.Z. // Excerpt from a book I’ll never write #103

I think that’s what scares me: the randomness of everything. That the people who could be important to you might just pass you by. Or you pass them by.

You’re the kind of woman that people will learn to write poetry for.

It’s like the world is in black and white and you’re there in colour.

Have you ever missed someone so much that strangers started to look like them?

I don’t care for the warmth of being loved as long as I can love someone with all that I have. I don’t need to be loved, but I need to love.

Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.

If I knew its gonna hurt this much, I wish I never laid my eyes on him.

I don’t often miss people.
I miss vibes, energies and connections.

Some nights I wish I could go back in life. Not to change shit, just to feel a couple things twice.

I am fucking gold but you prefer silver and that’s ok.

Sometimes,
the people who are
thousand of miles away
from you, can make you
feel better than people
right beside you.

And even if you’re not here to stay, I’m happy the universe allowed your soul to stop by.

There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.

Maybe we feel empty because we leave pieces of ourselves in everything we used to love.

I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you’ve lost.

You have to let it all go. The way he kissed you, the way he smelled, the way he touched your waist and pulled you in. You have to let it go and you have to let him go. Because that’s who he was, not who he is.

When they ask you about her,
Tell them how you loved her.
Tell them how you she made your heart shake and hands tremble.
Tell them how you memorized the smell of her perfume.

Tell them how she gave you the world
Tell them how you didn’t even give her a backbone to trust.
Tell them how her heart beated too fondly for you to comprehend.

Tell them how she was the most beautiful orchid you had ever seen
Tell them how you settled for just a handful of dandelions.

But don’t forget to tell them about how you just couldn’t keep her.

- Zienab Hamdan  - Tell them everything; tell them the whole truth

‘Almost’ is the worst way to love someone.

I suppose,“ she said after a long time, “it was surprising how quickly he forgot me.

“Imagine if the sky was always red and pink and orange,” she said thoughtfully.

“Then we would always marvel and take pictures of it when it was blue.”

"I don’t regret you. I don’t care how it ended. I don’t care about your worst. I remember how it began and how happy it made me. I won’t ever regret you."

"I am drowning in the things I never told you."

Sometimes you say you hate someone because you don’t know what else to call it,“ she says, “it’s not hate really. It’s actually a form of love.

“It’s just love that doesn’t have any place to go.

Wait until they break your heart. Wait to see how they justify it.

You’ll see what kind of person they are then.

What if I never love anyone the way I loved him?“ I asked the space.

“You won’t,” it replied. “You never love the same way twice.”

What was the worst part of it ending?

Just hoping that it might not. Always trying to start again.

I need to stop listening to playlists that remind me of people who are gone.

She thought to herself, “what if I never love anyone like him again?”

Then she thought, “maybe I don’t want to.

I wish you’d met me on one of my happy days,“ she sighed, “I am so different then. I swear you’d love me. 

What if that’s it?“ she said quietly, “what if that’s the last time I feel this way about a person? Isn’t that terrifying? The thought that I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to recreate this feeling?”

v. “It breaks your heart, doesn’t it? How close you were? It would break anyone.”

I don’t think it’s possible to get over some things,“ she said, “they change you too much - shake you up until all your bones are disjointed. No matter how long you spend putting yourself back together it won’t be the same as before.

“You can’t really protect yourself from it either because a lot of the daggers come from inside. You’ll spend so much time putting on armour against the world you’ll forget how much damage you can do to yourself.

1. He stops texting you back even though he used to text you first.

2. He’s busy with life and living and excuses.

3. When he kisses you it feels like he’s thinking too hard, as though he can’t wait to get away. When he stops, he turns and doesn’t look back.

4. When you ask him a question the replies are short, or not at all. When you’re silent he doesn’t make the effort to speak.

5. I love yous are met with awkwardness. I love yous are met with, ‘why?’ I love yous are met with, ‘you shouldn’t.’

6. He sighs. A lot.

7. He looks angry on some days and sad on others. Either way you don’t know what to do. Hearing your voice used to calm him down, now it seems to have the opposite effect.

8. He dismisses your fears as ridiculous. You tell him that you’re worried but he just rolls his eyes. You think he’s being insensitive but it’s because he doesn’t want to lie. You’re looking for comfort where there’s none.

9. You make him unhappy so you give him space. The gap keeps getting larger and larger and you feel him slipping away. Do you hold on, or let go, regret it for the rest of your life?

10. He tells you that things change and he’s changed his mind. He tells you that it wasn’t your fault but somehow that doesn’t make things right. He tells you a lot of things but you stopped listening at ‘I don’t love you anymore.’ He tells you he doesn’t want to hurt you but all you feel is pain.

"I know it’s stupid,“ she says, “and I say stupid things when I’m tired, but I think you could have loved me. I think I could have loved you back."

“Oh and I knew it was a cliché but it was so addictive to think about. And I admit there were times I believed it might actually happen.”

How do you make someone regret leaving you? How do you make them realize that they made a mistake? How do you make them sorry

Sweetie you can’t. You don’t have control over what other people feel; you can do things to manipulate their emotions but you’ll end up harming yourself more than anything else. You’ll keep thinking about it and harbouring all that bitterness inside and it’ll grow and fester and take up all your time. It’ll kill all the positive thoughts that you could be having instead and one day you’ll look back and you’ll be the one with regrets.

If someone has made up their mind that they want to leave, let them leave. Even if you love them. Even if it hurts and you miss them and you’d do anything to make them sorry; to make them want you again - just let them go. Focus on moving on. Their business is no longer your business. Their feelings aren’t your concern.

If you’re in pain, buy yourself some medicine. Don’t go out and injure someone else. It doesn’t make the pain go away.

Sometimes you love somebody but you aren’t compatible. Sometimes logic has to prevail. Sometimes you have to put on a stern face and say to your heart, “stop being stupid you know you have to leave.” And then you leave and you leave until you can’t leave anymore. Put one foot into the darkness, understand that there is never a concrete right or wrong. You stay until it hurts too much to look at them. Then you go, you run, you don’t let yourself look back.

You don’t love her but she’s there for you. You don’t love her but she’ll do. You don’t love her in that hazy mist, with that special affection, in those four minutes before you fall asleep; you don’t see her head on your chest in two - never mind twenty, years time, but she’s there.

You know she loves you because she says it with her eyes. She looks at you with the kind of adoration that breaks your heart. When she kisses its soft, slow, until she can’t hold it back and she loves you, with every particle in her being, she does.

You don’t love her but she’s there. You don’t love her and she can tell. Let her go because she’ll never be the one to initiate goodbye. Forget better, both of you deserve more.

“I hope we last. I hope we do.

But if we don’t, this is how I want you to remember me:

I want you to remember me curled up, listening to the sound of your heartbeat and tracing maps across your skin. Remember me laughing at your jokes, even the stupid ones. Remember me in hysterics for absolutely no reason and in tears because one time you made me so sad neither of us thought I’d recover. Remember me brave, that time you held my hand and I thought I was going to die; remember me scared and gentle and delicate and breakable - only for you though, only for you.

Remember me happy, and all the ridiculous ways I tried to get your attention. Remember the way I was too stubborn to talk to you and how absolutely insane it drove the both of us. Remember all the firsts and how they were so delightful we went back for seconds and thirds and fourths. Remember the songs you couldn’t stop listening to and the childish dreams you allowed yourself about the future. If it’s any consolation I allowed myself to have them too.

If it comes to it I don’t want you to remember the ending.

Remember the beginning. Remember the first time you knew.

"Wait for someone who tells strangers about you."

"…and if you’ve ever loved anyone the way I loved him, I bet you’re missing them too."

"The people you are kind to won’t forget you. Even if you never see them again."

No matter your age,
someone will tell you that you’re
“too young to understand”.

People will say;
“in three years time, this won’t matter”.

Please don’t let them convince you
that means it doesn’t matter now.

Actually,
what you feel today
shapes what you do tomorrow.

And,
guess what?

If it matters to you,
it matters. Period.

"

/ People will always find a way to invalidate how you feel; whether you are too young, too old, too middle aged, too feminine, too masculine, too this or that. It’s up to you to validate your feelings for yourself. It always has been and it always will be.

“Tell me it meant something,” she said.

“Or tell me it meant nothing.”

“Or tell me how tragic it is that I cannot decide which is worse.”

"

same sky, different day

I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely.

Everyone wants to drown in someone’s love but they forget that drowning kills you.

I want to be independent. To meet interesting people. … I just mean new people with clever things to say. Things I’ve never heard before. I want to be free. Open to whatever adventure comes along and sweeps me off my feet.

The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap, I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful. And be generous.

and so they asked me,
‘does this song remind you of him?’
I laughed because,
well,
everything does.

Take your time getting dressed this morning; read a book, make yourself some breakfast. The world can wait.

why do we always say life is short when it’s the longest thing we’ll ever experience?

There’s a big difference between: who we love, who we settle for and who we’re meant for.

I hope to find someone who looks at me the way I look at the stars: with unending awe and a complete admiration. I hope to be someone’s night sky.

Because aren’t we all unfinished?
Don’t we all need a little editing?
Aren’t we all waiting to be proofread by someone?
Aren’t we all praying they will tell us that we make sense
She don’t always make sense
But her imperfections are the things I love about her the most

I don’t know when I will be married
I don’t know where I will be married
But I do know this
Whenever I’m asked about my future wife

I always say
…She’s a lot like you

When you start to miss me, remember that you let me go.

I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.

Today I’m wearing a nice dark shade of exhaustion under my eyes.

'I laugh harder with you. I feel more myself with you. I trust you with me–the real me. When something goes wrong, or right, or I hear a funny joke, or I see something bizarre, you’re the first person I want to talk to about it.'

'Sooner or later people will learn to recognize your worth.'

I’m the type of girlfriend who always just wants to annoy you like let me hold your fucking hand and let me just hug your back and put my head under your shirt or bite your shoulder or bite your nose or hug your head or some shit idk i love you hoe

'How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.'

im horny but like… horny for a successful future full of happiness and satisfaction with the person ive become

Tenderness was never denied to me as a girl it was expected. Kindness was never denied to me. Softness was imposed on me. They always denied me anger and fear. Let me have it now.

He tells you “you’re mature for girls your age” you drink a glass of wine letting “mature” ring in your ears without hearing that he thinks of girls your age as a breed. The pedigree he gives you isn’t worth it.

Everything is fatal if you give it long enough.

Making a million plans in your heads like painting the bedroom and learning a language together that you’ll have all the time in the world to do because you don’t plan on going anywhere soon. A year later you notice the sky in Phoenix one afternoon. It’s the color of blue you wanted to paint that bedroom. A pain from a phantom limb comes back.

Above all, we share a distaste.

You both read the same book. He called it a romance novel. You knew it was a horror story

I just got out of a relationship with 8 men. There was the man I introduced you to late one night out by the lake. Our cheeks were flushed from kissing. You shoved my shoulder with a knowing smile. There was the man you loved at parties. Gregarious to fault. Shotgunning 3 in a row before jumping into your pool, clothes on. You stood with me and laughed. There was the man you saw me at the store with. Mulling over apple varieties. You waved hello. There was the man you heard met my family. The one my mother adored, you knew she would. There was the man you saw me at the show with. He seemed a bit off, wouldn’t take his hand off my hip, you chalked it up to a bad night. There was the man I took out to dinner with us. The one who ordered for me. You gave me a look. I didn’t notice, my eyes were fixed on the placemat. There was the man you saw me across the parking lot with. I was in the passenger seat crying. You couldn’t make out his expression. You figured I cry a lot, swallowed before driving off. You never met the last man. We only spoke of him in hushed tones over coffee. You could still see him on my face.

I have a good feeling about you and that has only ever ended badly.

I saw you in a grocery store today. Actually, I don’t know if it was you. But it could have been. I saw you in a post office the day before. I’ll see you in a photo in the newspaper tomorrow. On the bus the day after that. Someday it will really be you.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no oh no. Oh no oh no oh no oh no. You’ve made a terrible mistake only you can see and it looks like something beautiful.

I’ll do it. I’ll give away the ending. He chooses the girl whose less weird than you. She’s beautiful. We can’t even fault her. I’m sorry.

You never wake up to the same person you fell asleep next to. Too much changes in a day.

You are not prepared for this not ending how you want it to. And you are really not prepared for this ending how you want it to.

Approach her as if she were holding the leash of a ravenous guard dog.

Hot glue is my favorite condiment.

I looked at him. I said that at one point we had the same capacity for trust and it was placed on the bottom of our feet. And we’ve walked the same distance since. But I was never given shoes.

Keep a plant to speak to when they don’t return your calls.

You entered every relationship with hope. Casual optimism in strides. They happened. And now you enter everything with dread, on your tiptoes.

A man unrequitedly in love will stand outside your home and knock, throw, kick, holler, relentless in pursuit. Foreign to the idea of a space he is unwelcome in. A woman unrequitedly in love will sit. She’s far away from your house. She knows it’s not for her. She will wait, she has gifts prepared if she is ever invited in. She has herself prepared if she’s not.

I look at my coffee table and I think that we are not alike. It is much easier to build your own person than it is to accept one as is. And then I put my feet up.

You’re not reading too much into it. Actions are incidents.

Bonding over movies he’s lying about having seen and bands you’re lying about having known. Bonding as the people you wish you were. Leaving as the people you came here being.

You are the girl of his dreams. You’re the girl of my dreams. You’re the girl of your own dreams. You’re a passing character in everyone else’s dreams. They are all of your dreams too. What you need to find is one of your waking hours.

What becomes more powerful the less you give it to a man. Sex, and truth, and a favorite dinner.

Your body is a pretty sick touch screen device.

A passing moment I spent 2 hours looking forward to and you spent 30 seconds considering. A passing moment that will define my disposition and be forgotten by you tomorrow. A passing moment I will write about right now while you take in new passing moments.

Take a man who knows he can’t heal you but will drive you to the hospital before a man who thinks himself a doctor.

He asked me if I wanted to see the machine that destroys everything I said yes and he took out a pen

Once you know violence there is no way back. There is no love without threat of violence. There is no unviolent man. There is no raising of voice without violence. There is no argument without flinching. Once you know violence, there is no way back.

Whose dream girl are you trying to be this week? Destroy her.

Men don’t tell jokes they reveal truths they’re so detached from they find it laughable and absurd.

"You either love someone or you don’t. Your love isn’t based on how you feel about that person that day, regardless if you woke up in a bad mood or if they are actin distant or strange. Your love shouldn’t go on pause and your love shouldn’t be experienced by people outside of the relationship when things are difficult. Your love should be unconditional for one person or nothing at all.”

I don’t understand why some people aren’t okay with sitting at home doing nothing like why do you need to be with your friends constantly don’t you ever want time to yourself jesus christ

"When it comes to dealing with negative people, I just let it in one ear and out the other. Those people were invisible to me. When anybody wants to talk about you or spread rumours, my advice is just don’t address it. Don’t dignify them with an answer.”

If only dese lightskinned hoes hearts was as big as their foreheads.

Whoever is really meant to be in your life will always gravitate back to you, no matter how far they wander off

"It sucks when you miss that person that you look through old photos, old text messages, even old statuses and it brings a smile to your face, but then the hurt comes back and you know you shouldn’t be looking back, but you can’t help it because they really meant something to you and you thought it would of lasted.”

'Have the maturity to know sometimes silence is more powerful than having the last word.'

I discovered myself while discovering you.

Having a soulmate is not always about love. You can find your soulmate in a friendship too.

act like you don’t care until it’s no longer an act.

"   Body is purified by water. Ego by tears. Intellect is purified by knowledge. And soul is purified with love

"   Connect with people who remind you of what you truly are. 

Q: Your an alright looking lad so you probably have lots of girls who fancy you. Even more so because of the tumblr thing. How do you let a girl know you aren't interested, be it for any reason, I'm just trying to learn because I don't really know how.

if you actually know her intentions and you’re not just assuming she wants to be more than friends then tell her as soon as you’re certain, it might be harsh but if your reason is genuine and you’re not just being judgmental too fast then it’s better than leading her on, getting her gassed and then dropping her like its bants

"   Before we ask God for anything, we must first thank him for everything.

Recognize how you hurt people not just how people hurt you

"   Read books. Care about things. Get excited. Try not to be too down on yourself. Enjoy the ever-present game of knowing.   "

“I don’t leave the studio, I like making hits, There’s broken relationships that I can’t fix, I got bad habits I picked up, I can’t kick”

I know your true feelings… they couldn’t be here… they gotta be somewhere else”

"   Patience is the healthiest ingredient of our life.   

"   Not everything you do needs to be seen, heard or discussed.   " 

"   Let’s raise children who wont have to recover from their childhoods.   "

"   Don’t fuck with someone’s feelings because you’re unsure about yours. 

"   If you focus on success, you’ll have stress. But if you pursue excellence, success will be guaranteed.   " 

"   We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.   " 

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment 

I just wanna stay lowkey as hell and keep my soul and personality full of positivity and peace.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

There is so much room for improvement

"   Her mindset will raise your children. Not her body and good looks. Choose wisely.  

"I CRAVE THE SIDE OF YOU THAT YOU DON’T SHOW TO ANYONE ELSE." 

worrying about somebody who doesnt give a fuck about you isn’t gonna do shit but kill you

If I dont respond to your insult it means what i wanted to say was too mean and I decided to let you live

I’m really boring if I’m not comfortable with you

Don’t base your value or potential on someone else’s point of view.

Sometimes you just gotta read and not reply

If I don’t fuck with you, you’ll never have to worry about me talking shit about you. You’re the last thing I’m worried about.

Everything is mutual. I act on the vibes I receive. So if you’re 100% committed, so am I, if you’re still entertaining other people, then I’ll fall back and do the same. Nothing is one sided.

I hate being so sensitive. I hate being able to detect the slightest change in the way people message me, or talk to me, or look at me. I hate overthinking about it for the whole night. I hate when I can feel someone is slowly losing interest in me. 

honestly i hate when people try to sugar coat shit like if you don’t like me or don’t wanna hang or don’t wanna talk to me just fucking tell me don’t keep ignoring me and expect me to figure out the hint like that’s such a bitch ass move i’d rather hear it from you than be ignored 99% of the fucking time.

Loyalty is the hardest trait to find in someone.

if ya girlfriend isn’t ur best friend, then ur doing it wrong

Be wise enough to realize when your effort is ignored and unappreciated. Be strong enough to put yourself first and cut ties that no longer serve to improve your life, especially if they have a negative impact. Lastly, be patient enough to know that time will allow you to move on but that begins with you wanting to move on. 

If you think being famous on the Internet and having a lot of followers is goals then you need some new goals..

so many beautiful people out here with ugly ass minds

I don’t hold grudges. We good. You may not hear from me again…but we good.

I’m the type of person to give endless chances so if i give up on you just know it took a lot for me to do it

I smile at you even when you’re not here. 

horoscope: water is wet… but the sky is blue.

me: I just want to know if he’s gonna fuck me

you should have opened your eyes i was crazy for you

Do you ever keep scrolling down and think “wow, im really glad i didn’t stop five posts ago”

When God sends you a man but you want a different one

Do I want a boyfriend? No not really. Do I want boys to be interested in me? Absolutely.

'I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we are all defined by something we can’t change.'

'Stay away from people who make you feel like you’re not good enough, because you are worth so much more'

'I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.'

'If you hear people from my past speak of me. Keep in mind they are speaking of a person they don’t even know any more.'

'At first I cared, but then I was like ‘Nah, fuck you.’'

'I appreciate people who can sense something is wrong over text and immediately call or pull up just to make sure everything’s alright.'

at least life wants to fuck me

I desperately need something new in my life

i always wanna ruin my mood by checking up on ppl i shouldnt even care about

• Me: I'm really sad.
• Me: Maybe this sad music will help.

I want a tattoo, an iced coffee, and sex.

Don’t be everywhere.
Don’t fuck with just anyone.
Leave a lil mystery to your life.

STAY EXCLUSIVE.

why are y’all so afraid of caring about anything

just wanna hear you talk about anything cause your mind is so beautiful to me.

spending a few minutes to think about what you can add to a conversation but by the time you found the right thing to say the subject has already changed.

do you ever miss someone but never let them know because you have this feeling that they are doing just fine without you anyways? 

thanks for your silence

too young for unnecessary stress, I gotta live

sober or not I’m still thinking bout you

At some point you gotta step away from the IG,tumblr, etc shit and focus on the real life shit

I’m super sexual but like also I’m super shy which don’t mix well

Yeah you look good but ya soul dont 

people stare at me like they’ve never seen a walking goddess

So many boys so little men

once you start wearing big t-shirts you never go back to the ones that fit

Do you ever wake up from an amazing dream, and try to go back to sleep hoping theres gonna be a sequal

Reminders y'all don’t know a thing about me except that I look good

I’m really bad at texting unless I’m in love with you

Politely have a conversation with me about it.

Educate me.

I know my struggles I would never intentionally disrespect yours.

I love to know the history behind words and culture that I never knew before, it never has to be an offensive conversation that gets neither of us no where.

We are all ignorant to something, but it doesn’t have to start a war.

Don’t let “I love you” be the password to your pussy

'Go for it. Whether it ends good or bad, it was an experience.'

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea

Someday, someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you’ve never seen, they’ll look at you like you’re everything they’ve been looking for their entire lives. Wait for it

Your soul knows the geography of your destiny.

Your soul alone has the map of your future.

'Neck kisses, coffee dates & midnight car rides.'

I hope my absence hit you. I hope it hit you so hard that you can never get back up.

I always need inhuman proof that I’ve been missed, that I’m still needed, loved…

I KNEW IT WAS ONLY TEMPORARY, BUT IT WAS BLISS."

"NEVER GET TOO ATTACHED TO SOMETHING THAT ISN’T YOURS."

Something I think we don’t understand is beauty is just a concept. If you tell yourself you are beautiful you are. Because beauty isn’t a true obtainable thing! If you think you are pretty, then you are! So don’t let someone tell you, you aren’t beautiful because beauty isn’t even a real thing!! It’s just an idea, and don’t let that idea be so narrow in your mind. Don’t let that idea be so small that only few could fit your own definition of beauty

there’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when i say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace

HE DOESN’T SAY A WORD
AND HER HEART DOESN’T ACHE FOR HIM ANYMORE.

HER HAIR IS LONGER THAN IT’S EVER BEEN.

AND AT THAT MOMENT,
HE PANICS.
HE LOST HER.

AND HE CAN NEVER HAVE HER BACK.
HE CAN JUST WATCH HER BE BEAUTIFUL

"AND NOW WE’RE SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO OUR NORMAL LIVES. THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DO. THEY HAVE THESE AMAZING EXPERIENCES WITH ANOTHER PERSON, AND THEN THEY JUST GO HOME AND CLEAN THE BATHROOM OR WHATEVER."

"I guess there isn’t really a reason for me to run away. I’ve got a great life, no real problems. But sometimes I just wanna get up and go, without any direction. Lose my way and forget where I come from. Sometimes I just wanna see something new. Not the same old thing. It’s not that I’m running away from something, more like I’m running to something new.”

I hope the universe blesses you with a moment of peace this week. You’re doing the right thing, and you’re going to be okay.

"Along the way, I’ve learned that you can’t let anyone in too far and you can’t trust endlessly. The biggest mistake you can make is to care or love someone more than yourself, because then you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. Boundaries are necessary so that you can protect yourself, because once you’re broken, you’ll never be fully fixed.”

"We are all guilty of saving old messages from someone who became really special in our lives and going to familiar places that gives us that small twinge in our hearts and smiles on our faces. It’s one of the most bittersweet feelings ever because every time that person crosses our minds, we remember the instances when we were happy and complete.”

"I’ve come to realize that life is too short to hold grudges. It’s too short to argue about stupid things with the ones you love, to over-analyze every little detail of every little thing. Whenever I leave a loved one, whether we’re mad at each other or not, I always tell them I love them, because I never know when I’ll see them last.”

"I have never been strong enough to stay. People say that walking away is the hardest thing to do, but it isn’t. staying, even when you know it will break your heart, is the hardest thing. Staying right where you are, waiting for your entire world to be ripped into pieces is much harder than walking away and starting a new one.”

When you love someone,you love them because something made you. You love your parents because their your parents or you brother because he’s your brother but then there’s characteristics about them that make you love them more.Not just because you are raised to love them. There’s more of a freewill towards it

"One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.”

"You know what, just fucking say it. Say how you feel. Say what you like, and what you dislike. Say no if you don’t want something, or ask if there’s something you want. Just fucking speak up because time passes quick and the opportunity might go sooner than you think.”

"i’ll be the first to admit a fatass caught my attention, but never made me faithful. a pretty face got me to commit, but never changed me. it was that funny girl with that beautiful personality, million dollar smile and a heart of gold that left me in tears begging for a second chance. i never viewed women the same after her. she left my heart convinced that love is more about chemistry than biology.”

"Intelligence is the sexiest feature anyone can have. I want someone whom philosophical discussion is foreplay, someone whose wit turns me on”

if i date you, my goal is to marry you, build with you, grow with you, i’m not dating you to pass time, i see potential in you

I’m attracted to intelligence. Not the book smart type of intelligence. I could care less whether you’ve gone to college or how much money you make because of it. I like intelligent conversations that make me think even hours after it’s ended. I soak up words from radical minds.

I’m sorry but I fell in love that night. My mind has since been filled with thoughts of only you and the way you looked at me. The sound of your voice and the warmth of your skin became the only home I’ve ever known because I felt more at home in your arms that I ever did in my own house. I fell in love that night, the night your eyes met mine

I wish I was more oblivious and blind about shit but I always see shit

Personality outweighs appearance.

Things will work out, but staying up all night worrying about them isn’t going to help. So for now, rest your head and get some sleep; tomorrow’s another day to fight your fight. 

The effort people put in hating on someone’s body, they should put it in improving their personality.

every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes

Don’t stumble over something that’s behind you.”

"You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn’t actually about you. It’s about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don’t have to internalize that. Your worth isn’t contingent upon other people’s acceptance of you — it’s something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. You’re allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. You’re allowed to assert your needs and take up space. You’re allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. And you’re allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise.”

"Don’t stumble over something that’s behind you.”

"When people say “You’ve changed” there’s a 95% chance that you just stopped acting the way they wanted you to.”

I’m not one to open up but when I do, I go deep. Real deep.

Accept the fact that you will grow apart from people you’ve had significant relationships with. Understand when someone no longer positively affects your life. Let them go. Don’t hinder your growth.

Don’t take forever to reply to me. I won’t be in the mood to talk to you by then.

"I didn’t become heartless, I just became smarter. My happiness will not depend on someone else. Not anymore.

"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”

"It’s easy to say you’re over someone if you aren’t seeing them. The challenge is to look them in the eye and see their smile and hear their voice and still be able to say “this is not what I want anymore”.”

"All I wanted was to receive the love I gave.”

I honestly think I’ve become a better person of myself because of you.

"We want someone that we can be at our weakest with, and not feel so. That our vulnerability isn’t taken advantage of, but taken care of.”

"Sometimes you have to stop worrying, wondering, and doubting. Have faith that things will work out, maybe not how you planned, but just how it’s meant to be.”

"Just because you miss the feeling they gave you, doesn’t mean you miss them.”

"I love those mornings when you wake to darkness and no one is asking anything of you. You’re under no pressure to exist. This is something of which I am in constant need.”

"Love, I think, is a gateway to the world, not an escape from it”

You ain’t gonna find nobody like me.

"I fell in love with the way you touched me without using your hands.”

You can’t change what has already happened, so don’t waste your time thinking about it. Move on, let go, and get over it.”

"Someone who truly loves you will be angry at you for so many things, but will always stick around.”

My only crime, was that I’m too damn kind”

"The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.”

did you ever become friends with someone so beautiful?  and then they started telling you about the douchebags in their lives that did horrible things to them, like cheat and lie. and the only thing running through your mind is “who would ever want to hurt someone like you?”

"The urge to travel feels magnetic.”

"All I can ever ask of you is to please never settle for me. If I’m not what you’re looking for, if I’m not good enough for you, then don’t stay.”

Maybe you’ll push me away forever. Maybe you’ll use me another 3 times giving me more false hope. Maybe you’ll call me next week in the middle of be night confessing your love to me. Maybe you’ll look at me and see how perfect I am for you. Maybe you’ll realize how much I put up with for you and what I’d do for you. Maybe you’ll decide to let me love you. Maybe you’ll say fuck it and be with me. Maybe you’ll let me in. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe I won’t be here when that happens."

“That’s all right.” she says, and I have to wonder how many times she’s said that to the people in her life who screwed her over somehow."

Be proud of yourself. Remember the nights you crumbled under the weight of your pain, and the mornings you fought to open your eyes, and won. Remember how you put yourself back together, brick by brick; remember the ache in your shoulders as you laid each stone. Remember that life is often the more difficult choice, and that it takes a special kind of bravery to choose it anyway."

"I like people too much or not at all. I’ve got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them."

I don’t plan on being in a relationship with anyone for a while. Letting go of someone you truly love hurts so much

"I want to love her so much and so well that when people look at me loving her, they won’t think it’s just a phase or that I’m doing it for attention. I want people to look at me loving her and think, I wish someone loved me like that. I want people to look at me loving her and see that I would do anything for this girl and that I’ll stick by her through thick and thin and that I love her even when I hate her. I want people to look at me loving her and know that I love her like I’ve never loved anyone and I won’t be asked to prove it because it will be so damn obvious how much I love her. I want people to look at me loving her and see that I mean well in this life and that even though I screw up, I would never intentionally hurt her. I just want to love her without constantly being judged or questioned for it because I swear I’ve never loved anyone as much as I love her."

"Intimacy is not who you let touch you. Intimacy is who you text at 3am about your dreams and fears. Intimacy is giving someone your attention, when ten other people are asking for it. Intimacy is the person always in the back of your mind, no matter how distracted you are.

She’s the type of girl who would hold you while you cry and stay up all night just to make sure that you’re okay, even if she’s the one breaking sometimes."

"I’m learning to let the past be the past. It’s not healthy to hold on to something or someone that is no longer actively part of your life. A memory can only hold so much value before it needs to be let go. It’s a form of shedding your skin in an effort to allow yourself to move on and not live inside of your memories."

Being a feminist means also loving and taking care of shy girls. Fuck the idea that ‘strong’ girls are the only girls worth respect. I want to see more posts for the shy girls, the quiet girls, the girls with anxiety, the girls who feel their limbs seizing up find it difficult to breath as soon as they are confronted. You are beautiful princesses and just as important as any loud, ‘strong’ girl.

"When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn’t actually about you. It’s about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don’t have to internalize that."

"Isn’t it a tragedy? We give all our love to someone only for them to rip us open– and after, we are never exactly the same."

"It’s not my job to make you a better man and I don’t give a shit if I’ve made you a better man. It’s not a fucking woman’s job to be consumed and invaded and spat out so that some fucking man can evolve."

I used to be good at writing, great even
But it seems like now I can’t get the words on the page
And I’m not sure why because I can remember every single thing you said
I don’t understand why I feel like I’m choking on your name
Some days I’m able to swallow it or I throw it up until every ounce of you is staring back at me
Because that’s all I want
Right?"

"The fact is that five years ago I was, as near as possible, a different person to what I am tonight. I, as I am now, didn’t exist at all. Will the same thing happen in the next five years? I hope so."

do you ever miss someone but never let them know because you have this feeling that they are doing just fine without you anyways? 

"Never give up on something you really want. It may be difficult to wait, but it is worse to live with regret."

"Everyday you find a different way to hurt me.

"It all meant something. Until it didn’t."

"I gave you my world when you didn’t have one and you destroyed it."

"You were almost mine. And “almost” fucking breaks my heart constantly."

I show love, but the feeling is never reciprocated, so I remain distant

I don’t know what else you want from me. 
I’ve given you everything. I tore myself apart to try and give you more pieces of myself and nothing has been good enough for you. 
So tell me, what do you want from me. 
I swear to god I would give it to you.
I love you so goddamn much I would literally claw at my skin to give you something more. 
Is that what you want?
Do you want me to claw at my skin until I’m bleeding, everything from inside me pouring out just for you, nothing left, just a body trying to figure out what else I can give you. 
Tell me what you want and fuck, I’ll give it to you.
I’ve never felt so desperate for someone to love me in my entire goddamned life, but here I am begging you to ask me for more.
I’m asking you to tear my soul apart and fuck you’ve already done it.
You’ve already torn every piece of me apart by making me feel this pathetic.
Is this what love is supposed to feel like?
Because I don’t know how to recover from this.
I’m so fucking lost.
Please, just tell me what you want."

"I love you, really. You know I love you. I’ve never loved any one else the way I love you."

"My heart is homeless. It keeps knocking at your door but you won’t open."

"How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back."

"Good conversation turns me on. A connection between two people, a mental one first."

Develop a healthy relationship with food. If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re full, don’t eat. Eat vegetables to be good to your body, but eat ice cream to be good to your soul.

Take pictures of yourself frequently. Chronicle your life. Selfies are completely underrated. Even if the pictures are unflattering, keep them anyway. There will always be mountains and cities and buildings, but you will never look the same way as you did in that one moment in time.

Your worth does not depend on how desirable someone finds you. Spend less time in front of the mirror and more time with people who make you feel beautiful.

Close doors. Don’t hold onto things that no longer brings you happiness and do not help you grow as a person. It is okay to walk away from toxic relationships. You are not weak for letting go.

Forgive yourself. We all have something in our pasts that we are ashamed of, but they only weigh us down if we allow them to. Make amends with the old you and work every day to become the person that you’ve always wanted to be.

Eat vegetables to be good to your body, but eat ice cream to be good to your soul.

i hope that even after two years,  you hear my name and cringe because you realize how good i was to you and how bad you fucked up.

"I hate you, I fucking hate you because I’m so damn in love with you and I’m not even worth a second look to you."

"The fastest way to heal a broken heart is to find someone better to love, and love more. Know that sometimes heartbreak happens just to push you  towards someone

"It’s I still love you 
I mean 
Did you sleep okay 
I meant I miss you 
I mean
When am I seeing you next 
It’s I hope you’re happy with her
I mean 
Did you have a good day 
I meant 
I wish you hadn’t left
I mean I love you 
I mean I love you"

ARIES: the fact that they may take everything a little too personally and erupt in some short bursts of anger...you almost never know when you're gonna say something that offends them

TAURUS: you can never get to them to change their stance or opinion on things..they can be extremely materialistic and possessive at times and so obsessed with their own comfort that if you try to change their routine...rip

GEMINI: they're definitely charming to a fault, and often alternate between 'naughty' and 'nice'..they're the best at making comments that may appear sweet or innocent but actually meant to be catty or judgemental

CANCER: that they'll never tell you how they're really feeling and instead take all their emotions out on themselves. they'll seclude themselves into a bubble of negativity and mixed emotions and never let you in, often resulting in them appearing moody or even unnecessarily angry at times

LEO: one word: pride. they're pride may cause them to be stubborn, unnecessarily defensive, and domineering. they are extremely protective of their ego and will do absolutely ANYTHING to defend it. In the moments where they ego is challenged they may say hurtful things they don't mean and may forget them later

VIRGO: how they are very critical of themselves and others. they are also very sharp tongued, quick, and calculative so if you get into an argument with them, they will always know where to hit you and how hard

LIBRA: how they're passive aggressive af. they will 'try' hard to hide they're feelings but they come off very transparent and moody at times. they can also change their personality to fit whoever they're with which is can be oddly comforting at times but also very confusing.

SCORPIO: how controlling and aggressive they can be.. they're very slow to forget and slow to forgive. they are extremely intuitive and have the ability to size up anyone or any situation in a matter of seconds. they are very unpredictable and may appear silent while experiencing varying intense emotions of anger, despair, or sadness.

SAGITTARIUS: their mouths!! they have no filter..you never know what they are gonna say to you next. their honesty and bluntness can be seen as either a blessing or a curse. they're prone to exaggerating and boasting due to their love for power and status

CAPRICORN: their pOKer FACE.. they make you wonder if they actually have emotions with how focused and calculative they can be. they have a natural sense to boss people around in the most affective matter..they can inadvertently end up belittling you when talking about their goals and motivations

AQUARIUS: they can effortlessly make you feel small with their high level of intellect. they require a lot of space and freedom to do what they like and may appear aloof at times

PISCES: that they care...a little bit too much..they can often let their emotions get the best of them and then turn into someone or something they're not. very unpredictable people who at times may appear act childish and innocent while they really have the ability to tear you into pieces

"I’ll never be able to look at your face without loving you a little bit.

"I have always loved everything about you. Even what I didn’t understand.

I hate that there’ll always be this one person I’ll always go back to, always. No matter what. No matter who I’m with, no matter how I’m doing, no matter where I’m at, if they come back into my life, there I go again being head over heels for them. This needs to stop.

I wonder what it’s like to have someone fall for you. And I mean really fall for you. Not just they want to get in your pants because they think you’re attractive. But be consumed with every little piece of you. The way you talk, the way you laugh, the way you just exist. To everyone in love: you don’t know how lucky you are.

"I don’t want to remind you of anyone. I want to be the first me you’ve ever met."

The fact that I reblog pictures of girls and butts and boobs and I don’t reblog any pictures of boys or don’t do it that often doesn’t mean I’m lesbian, bisexual or pansexual. That have nothing to do with my sexuality. Women are just beautiful, and the world should recognize their beauty.

Find someone who wants to invest in you, learn from you, see you win, support your visions and fall in love with you daily.

"Be patient when things are not going right. Accept that what is yours will come to you in the right way at just the right moment."

I’ve been led on so many fucking times and it hurts.

late night thoughts i think; always by the same person but thats fine; i dunno why i still go back and try :);

CAN’T WAIT TO MOVE INTO A SIMPLE APARTMENT WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND FALL ASLEEP AND WAKE UP NEXT TO THEM AND COOK DINNER WITH THEM AND HAVE RANDOM MIDNIGHT TRIPS FOR SNACKS AND STAY UP LATE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES OR WATCHING MOVIES AND BEING ABLE TO SHARE EVERY MOMENT OF MY LIFE WITH THEM

"You told me to fight for you, and I did.
But you never fought for me."

"I tried so hard to be what you wanted. I tried so damn fucking hard until I lost myself. It’s that I wanted so badly for us to fit perfectly, that I erased parts of me every day just to have us fit a little bit more and more… until one day, I looked down and I couldn’t see who I was. I lost myself for you. But I still hoped that you could find me. Yet, you never did. You were the one I risked everything for. You were my favorite person. You were my favorite fucking person, and now you’re just gone."

i don’t know where people find energy within themselves to hate on other people. go improve yourself. mind your business. damn.

I like ‘em Hip Hop minded, kind hearted, designed with literature and inspired by art, moving with soul."

I want to be with someone who’s obsessed with me. Someone who thinks about me 24/7, and when they’re not thinking about me, they always find a reason to. Someone who clings to me, someone who double texts me, someone who gets all anxious and worried if they don’t hear from me for a certain period of time… ‘Cause that’s how I am when I like someone. Obsessed. I refuse to look away from them. I refuse to give someone else the attention they deserve.

"It’s okay that you chose her. We always choose the wrong people for ourselves. After all I chose you."

"I am never going to be skinny. I am a woman, I have curves."

"Never trust a person that has let you down more than 2 times. Once was a warning, twice was a lesson and anything more than that is simply taking an advantage.

You’re willing to love as intensely as possible once the right person comes along and you feel like that person is worth it."

you’re the only voice i want to hear at 5 am.

"One thing I know for sure; if it’s meant to be, it will always find its way back to you

"Things just went wrong too many times."

Once I stop caring you’re not getting it back. I’ll be cold as ice, I promise."

I'm out (of my mind), please leave a message

"Love is not your savior. Love is the luxury after you save yourself."

"We have all hurt someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. we have all loved someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. it is an intrinsic human trait, and a deep responsibility, i think, to be an organ and a blade. but, learning to forgive ourselves and others because we have not chosen wisely is what makes us most human. we make horrible mistakes. it’s how we learn. we breathe love. it’s how we learn. and it is inevitable."

Anonymous: I don't want to be the one to msg him first. I haven't been in a serious relationship before so I don't know if this is normal. I don't want to beg him for anything but it bothers me a bit. Should I just brush it off?

I always, always tell people that when someone has a genuine interest in you or has good intentions for the both of you relationship-wise, it shows. It’s not something that you should have to be guessing or be in limbo about. If he wants you, he’ll make the effort to communicate with you (or, he SHOULD atleast..). The mere fact that if you aren’t the one to message him first after a few days, you both won’t communicate doesn’t seem like a good look. Regardless of the fact that he was hurt a year ago or whatever, based on my own personal relations and that of those around me that I’ve observed, if a guy tells you he doesn’t want a serious relationship, Believe it. Because if you persist, and one thing leads to another, all you’ll get is a “well, I DID tell you that I didn’t want anything serious”… Understand that the person who cares the least in relationships is usually the one who has more power because that person will make decisions without consideration for the other person (I.e., you). While I don’t expect you to take what I’m saying as gospel, I would like for you to just.. Think about it. If it’s a serious relationship that you want, guard yourself from hurt above everything else, first. Move on with your life and find a new love interest even… While I can’t tell you to stop waiting on him, id advise against just sitting around waiting for him to come around because that MIGHT never happen, and while it’s not happening you might very well be developing more feelings for him that might never be reciprocated. So, if it’s just the fact that you haven’t heard from him in a while but he cares and you know he genuinely cares but he’s just hesitant to commit to something serious, brush it off for now.. Otherwise, look at everything else and think about whether or not it’s all worth your time and efforts.

"I like flaws and feel more comfortable around people who have them. I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions

"Ignore people who threaten your joy. Literally, ignore them. Say nothing. Don’t invite any parts of them into your space."

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it’s not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

"Comparison is an act of violence against the self."

"Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every second that comes after. Such moments are tests of courage, of strength."

"There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise."

"Make yourself a priority once in a while. It’s not selfish. It’s necessary."

Foremost, i’d want to be filled with joy and be surrounded by the love of family and friends. A family of my own has always been and will always be the thing i want the most.. I hear a lot of people say they’d like to be happy, but to me happiness is subjective to too many things. Just, being content with myself will do. In the far/not-so-far-any-more future, a husband, a father (of two hopefully), financially secured, & in a position to help others in the same way I was helped. Not rich/wealthy, though.. Just financially secured and short of none of my needs. I haven’t mentioned anything about a career because i’m still leaving myself open to changes in my life’s direction (quite frankly, anything is possible).. I’m currently a year away from receiving my bsc degree in engineering, but i wouldn’t be surprised if I was a mere photographer, entrepreneur (because I feel I manage and lead very well) or in the culinary field (I feel i’d be most at home there)… But, for now that’s a mystery.. 

Anonymous: Are you an outgoing person? Do you go to parties often?

I’m a slight homebody, which is often times confused as me being antisocial, but i’m not. I like being around people every now and then but I prefer quality time with people as opposed to just going somewhere, where there’s no conversation with laughter etc… I do enjoy parties but it’s not something I do very often, I’ve probably been to one party since the beginning of this year.

I admire women who are effortlessly stylish, who laugh easily, who are genuinely kind, and who tell the truth about themselves.

"2. if you have to explain your self-worth to a person who claims to understand the workings of your mind. you’re in the wrong place."

"If we can’t even hold a conversation, why hold each other?"

"Eat better. Run more. Squat more. Sleep earlier. Wake up earlier. Make a good breakfast. Drink water. Eat fruits. Read books. Adventure. Talk less. Listen more. Feel deeper. Love better. Open your eyes. Experience life. Be happy."

- My motivation to be happy

Know that what left you, wasn’t meant for you.

I’m scared of telling people my deepest stuff because some don’t even care. Some only listen to you when they are trying to get what they want. After they get it. The deep stuff doesn’t matter to them anymore.

"Be strong, but not rude. Be kind, but not weak. Be humble, but not timid. Be proud, but not arrogant."

Drink good tea each morning.
Read books that make you feel.
Paint, even if you’re awful.
Write, even when you have nothing to say.
Sit in the fresh air outside.
Go on hikes.
Swim in lakes and wade in streams.
Sleep as long as you need.
Work hard at what you love.
Work hard at what you hate.

Love unconditionally and wholeheartedly

"Sometimes we just have to cut off the dead branches in our life. Sometimes that’s the only way we can keep the tree alive. It’s hard and it hurts, but it’s what’s best."

Casual reminder that you are the most important thing in your life.

You are top priority.

Nothing comes before you and your self care.

You are allowed to be self interested.

Invest in yourself, the rest will take care of itself

"I think you need to fall in love with the wrong person. I think you need to fight and cry and sweat and bleed and fail. I think you need to have bad relationships and bad breakups. I think you need all of that so that when the right person and the right relationship comes along you can sigh with relief and say, “Ah yes. That is how its supposed to feel.

"Life is too short to sit around and wait for indifferent people to make up their minds about how they feel about you."

"Somebody once told me that you truly see who a person is when you tell them something they don’t wanna hear. You truly see who a person is when you give them news that they weren’t expecting."

"I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see."

Life is too short for fake friends, fake love, and fake energy.

You gotta over value yourself sometime. Know your worth and add taxes to it.

"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget

don’t check up on people who have decided you are not in their picture anymore. you don’t need to know how they’re doing. save yourself the trouble, seriously.

A relationship with no gender roles. We both hustle, we both cook, we both clean, we both pay, we both spoil each other.

I’m literally the kind of friend you can start a conversation with “I sucked dick last night.” and I’ll ask you how you did, how big it was, if you deep throated, if you swallowed,… 😊 I won’t judge your hoe activities.

i gotta carry my phone around with me 24/7 just in case nobody texts me 

gas yourself up. build yourself up. compliment yourself often. just love yourself without apologizing for it.

don't complain. work harder

"Self-sabotage is knowing exactly what you need to do to improve but not doing it. It’s procrastinating doing the very things that you know will make you happier. It’s waiting till things are 100% perfect till you do them, but that of course never happens. It’s remaining in the comfort zone because of the fear of failure or uneasiness of change. It’s a mindset that you may be completely unaware of until you really think about it. So think about it. Are you a prisoner of your own thoughts? If you are, take responsibility and acknowledge you put yourself into that prison. But know that you have the power to free yourself."

when your soul is happy, you shine with a radiance that is beyond comparison.

Fall for people who trace patterns on your back when you fall asleep. Fall for people who learn where those exact ticklish spots are on your sides. Fall for people who look at you like you are the good in the world. Fall for people who make you feel like the main character in a romance novel.



"I WISH I WAS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY…"

all boobs are good boobs

all stomachs are good stomachs

all thighs are good thighs 

all bodies are good bodies

yes yours, too, and don’t you forget it

"FORGET YOUR PERSONAL TRAGEDY. WE ARE ALL BITCHED FROM THE START AND YOU ESPECIALLY HAVE TO BE HURT LIKE HELL BEFORE YOU CAN WRITE SERIOUSLY. BUT WHEN YOU GET THE DAMNED HURT, USE IT-DON’T CHEAT WITH IT."

-I’ll always care about you

"…HER WINGS ARE CUT AND THEN SHE IS BLAMED FOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO FLY."

"STOP LOOKING AND START APPRECIATING."

"I HOPE YOU END UP HAPPY"

"I WOULD RATHER DIE OF PASSION THAN OF BOREDOM."

I relate to the phrase “chillin like a villain” because it shows that I’m calm but also ready to sin

i need a paid break from life

"I WISH MORE PEOPLE CARED ABOUT THE EARTH AS MUCH AS THEY CARED ABOUT WHO THEY BELIEVED CREATED IT."

"I WISH MORE PEOPLE CARED ABOUT THE EARTH AS MUCH AS THEY CARED ABOUT WHO THEY BELIEVED CREATED IT."

"AND BY THE WAY, EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS WRITABLE ABOUT IF YOU HAVE THE OUTGOING GUTS TO DO IT, AND THE IMAGINATION TO IMPROVISE. THE WORST ENEMY TO CREATIVITY IS SELF-DOUBT."

It’s not weird or annoying if you call a guy beautiful or pretty or cute. If you do find a guy getting annoyed by a compliment like that then he isn’t worthy of that compliment and you aren’t a bad person for saying it. He needs to grow up.

"MAYBE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LOSE WHO YOU WERE TO FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE."

worst feeling: being ignored by someone whose attention means the world to you.

WE TRAVEL BECAUSE WE NEED TO, BECAUSE DISTANCE AND DIFFERENCE ARE THE SECRET TONIC TO CREATIVITY. WHEN WE GET HOME, HOME IS STILL THE SAME, BUT SOMETHING IN OUR MINDS HAS CHANGED, AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING."

"IF TWO POINTS ARE DESTINED TO TOUCH, THE UNIVERSE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE CONNECTION - EVEN WHEN ALL HOPE SEEMS TO BE LOST. CERTAIN TIES CANNOT BE BROKEN. THEY DEFINE WHO WE ARE - AND WHO WE CAN BECOME. ACROSS SPACE, ACROSS TIME, AMONG PATHS WE CANNOT PREDICT - NATURE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY."

don’t date anyone who doesn’t want to hear your favorite song, watch your favorite movie, read your favorite book



"I LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A SENSE OF INDIVIDUALITY. I LOVE EXPRESSION AND ANYTHING AWKWARD AND IMPERFECT, BECAUSE THAT’S NATURAL AND THAT’S REAL."

-Marc Jacobs

"WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU,
I WAS AFRAID TO TALK TO YOU.
WHEN I FIRST TALKED TO YOU, 
I WAS AFRAID TO LIKE YOU.
WHEN I FIRST LIKED YOU, 
I WAS AFRAID TO LOVE YOU.
NOW THAT I LOVE YOU, 
I’M AFRAID TO LOSE YOU

There are different versions of you living within the minds of others. I wonder how different they all are.

“is there a problem officer?” “yes actually, lots of problems” *hands u my math homework*

"YOUR WORD TO ME
IS LIKE PURE GOLD;
I TREASURE WHAT YOU SAY."

i just want a kinda cool best friend who i can be like ‘lets go to a fuckin muSEUM tomorrow’ to and they’ll be like ‘heck yEA’ and we can just hop on a train but then i can just go 2 their house anytime and we can jam and talk about conspiracy theories and bands and bela lugosi and eat pasta

i think freckles, stretch marks, tattoos, bruises and birthmarks are probably the coolest thing, you started with almost a blank canvas and look at u now, all this evidence that you’ve lived and the sun has shone on you and you’ve grown and maybe tripped up a few times and liked an image so much u made it a permanent part of u!! beautiful!!!

"THE WORST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE IS MISUNDERSTANDING."

• Me: I want to travel.
• Bank account: bitch, where?

oh, you wanted the demons exorcised…i thought you said exercised…we’ve been doing yoga for the last week…

accept that not everyone is going to appreciate you.  accept that your personality won’t mesh with everyone.  accept that you are not defined by someone else’s opinion of you.  accept yourself for your strengths and weaknesses.  please just accept you and not anyone else’s idea of you.

someone told me once that shooting stars are really just angels throwing away their cigarettes before God could catch them smoking

dad: why are you drinking coffee at 10pm?

me: time is an illusion. once you realize that, you can transcend, and live in bliss

me: *takes sip*

me: also i have a 10 page paper due in the morning that i haven't started

why autocorrect always trying to change apple to Apple? as if the fruit was named after the company and therefore is less important? who is standing up for them

do you think clouds look down on people and think “that ones shaped like an idiot”







I wonder how many stranger’s stories we make it into? You know, maybe someone saw you in passing and told their friends about how pretty the girl in the lavender sweater was. Or maybe they overheard you say a joke and repeated it to their friend, confessing that they heard it from some guy at the store. 

horoscope: sometimes you be breathin

me:

me: okay but how did they know that?

life is boring. someone do something. start a new meme. challenge me. tell me something interesting. this is my final request

I have such an addictive personality when I like something, I don’t just like it I become utterly obsessed with it.
