Scrolling through Tumblr like I’m searching for pieces of me.
How much do you love her?
“Enough to not make her ask this question.”
Hey overthinkers, we're gonna be okay
Anybody can love you when it is easy,
when they love the very idea of you
that they have cultivated to entertain
them, but can you love me when the reality
is different from that which you expect?
Can you love me even when I am a mess
or is your love incapable of expanding
beyond the shallowness of the depths
in which you choose to cautiously wade?
Can you only love me in the colors
that you have painted with the brush of
your own eyes that hides the truth of
this flesh because I am not the heaven
you have made of me, but the cosmic dust
of the reality of this earth and the breath of
the hope of its last prayer?

Part VI
tightness around their eyes
pinched mouth
sour expression on their face
crossed arms
snorting angrily
turning their eyes upward
shaking their head
fast breathing
chest heaving
trembling of their hands
weak knees, giving in
tears flowing down their face uncontrollably
laughing while crying
not being able to stand still
tension leaving their body
shoulders dropping
standing still
opening mouth
slack jaw
not being able to speak correctly
slowed down breathing
wide eyes open
softening their gaze
staring unabashingly
vacant stare
looking down
turning their head away
cannot look at another person
putting their head into their hands
shaking their head
blushing
looking down
nervous smile
sharp intake of breath
quickening of breath
blinking rapidly
breaking eye contact
trying to busy their hands
playing with their hair
fidgeting with their fingers
opening mouth without speaking
Part I + Part II + Part III

this is going to sound like such a little sibling ass take but i genuinely believe that being a little bit annoying is actually a greater sign of maturity and self awareness than being universally likeable and on good terms with everyone
The heart is the only type of muscle with zero fuel reserves. It is totally dependent on its fuel supply. Cut its fuel supply off and it won't last long, but it will beat tirelessly and relentlessly as long as it has fuel. It makes me wonder if we are we really that naive to think that love will be eternal when we don't take care of it, when we do not nurture it or feed it? And yet we expect love to go on till the end like some super marathon runner who can go on and on, and not refuel at all during the race? Is it really surprising when love collapses at some point of the way? Love lives in a human heart, a delicate one at that, a very mortal and needing heart.

“I wondered why I was always so lonely and then I realized that I was always playing different roles for different people but I never played the role of just myself and that’s why I was lonely - the person everyone was with wasn’t actually me.”

This world is filled with receivers
If the world ever decides to give you
Then give it back a little more
And if the world ever gives you less
Then never stop giving it back
Because the world has less of givers
happy new year’s eve <3
