we all deserve Hozier's "no grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her" type of love.

"do something for your inner child today. You had a favourite cartoon? Watch it. Used to love drawing? Doodle something. haven’t had ice-cream in a while? treat yourself. Used to love going to amusement parks? Buy tickets.. Revisit your old joys and heal the kid in you <3"

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

I won't say I love you but every time I see a beautiful flower, i want to give it to you; everytime I see the moon, i want you to see it with me too; everytime I see an old couple holding hands, i want that to be us some day; and everytime i shut my eyes, my head is filled with nothing but you.

we all talk about the intimacy of eye contact but do you ever think about the intimacy of looking at someone's eyes while they're looking at something else-either because they're distracted or they're deliberately allowing you to have this moment to yourself or they know that it'll be too much to look back at you directly-and if so does it ever just make you go full crazy

It's my 3 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Reading all those books you've always wanted to read. Watching a movie that changes the way you view life. Finding something new about yourself. Starting a new hobby. There are so many amazing things you have yet to experience, so much worth living for.

To the person I lost

Sorry for not giving us more chances,

and sorry for not trying hard.

If I tried hard, this story would have been different.

You would have been here today, tomorrow and forever 'MINE'.

““I have loved him so long that I do not remember him as a stranger. I loved him long before we were told to work together in spite of the hate between our families. I will love him long after you tear us apart merely because you pick and choose when it is convenient to partake in the blood feud.””

— Juliette Cai’s declartion of love for Roma Montagov to her parents in Our Violent Ends (2021)

"I take you, Juliette Cai, Roma whispered in concentration, "to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, until...He looked up as he finished the knot. Paused. When he spoke again, he did not look away. "No, scratch that. To have and to hold, where even death cannot part us.In this life and next, for however long our souls remain, mine will always find yours"

They speak of Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai as the ones who dared to dream. And for that, in a city consumed by nightmares, they were cut down without mercy.

But alongside everything, there has to be love—eternal, undying, enduring. Burn through vengeance and terror and warfare. Burn through everything that fuels the human heart and sears it red, burn through everything that covers the outside with hard muscle and tough sinew. Cut down deep and grab what beats beneath, and it is love that will survive after everything else has perished.
