Be you and learn not to apologize for it. Write and re-write your story as many times as you need to find your truth 💕 thank you @her_la #narrative #yourstory #beyou #ignoreignorance #zerofucksgiven #findyourlight

@wearealluncool #weareuncool 1. I get distracted easily. Often in photos with friends I might be looking off into the distance or I might fall over something when I'm supposed to be holding it together. 2. No one in my family will let me hold anything breakable. Even with objects you may assume are not easy to break - in my presence accidents tend to happen. 3. If I could wear a flannel and sweat pants everyday I would. Sometimes I do it anyway cause who's trying? Not me. I'd rather be comfy than look cool. 4. I have always had pretty bad anxiety. I need a lot of alone time and when I'm overwhelmed, for example at a shopping center around Christmas time, I have panic attacks or feel like I'm going to faint and I need to eat/drink something asap. Thank you @joeybagofdoughnuts and sorry if I've ever broken any of your belongings. I now nominate @caaamel_ @nicdrisc (tell your aunt sorry about her sink) & @matt20tree because #wewon #iamnotcool

“I’m not sentimental—I’m as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last—the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won’t.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise (via psych-facts)

Sometimes you have to forget what you feel, and remember what you deserve.

Hypocrite.

Remember when you said, that you could never imagine another man with his hands all over me.

Well now, there you are with your hands all over her it makes me sick, you're a hypocrite.

Remember when you tried, tried your damnedest but it was never good enough deep down I knew you could never love me.

I tried my hardest anyway to be the best I could be...deep down... well shit, I knew I couldn't love a hypocrite. Remember when time slowed in the end, just like it used to laughing in our bed well I could tell by tone of voice that you had made your final choice.

I wonder at times if you always knew lacking heart to say the honest truth I think I'll always be confused.

I kept the flame burning, I kept the flame burning.

You leave in your path ghosts of people suffocated and used they still follow you around like shadows,  they should know better, but we lie to ourselves to feel special.

You can only pretend to be loved by he who shuts his heart you feel like you're winning the race before you start love is not for winning and I lied to myself, I was your hypocrite - I was proud of myself. I dreamt of the day you would let me in the second I exhaled the rug tore out from underneath my limp body I didn't see it coming, and I begged you to change your mind but you couldn't, because it was the show that was over.

I learn from the best, I learn from the best.

Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is.

Hope-less

Some days are harder than others to instill hope in the patients I see. I read the news and can't help but want to get up and just sit next to them and cry. The racism and lack of respect for the lives of all people is not okay. It's devastating to be a witness to such cruelty, but really I think about those families and what people of color have to face everyday. I remind myself to be grateful of my privilege as a white woman and to speak the truth: not everyone is treated the same. The only thing we can do as white people is to speak the truth and call racism out when we see it. To go along side the people in need and make sure we are advocating for what is RIGHT. Staying silent doesn't do anything but create more unwillingness to feel discomfort. I assure you the discomfort you will feel by opening your mouth to defend another human life will never match up to the discomfort a black or not white person feels their entire life. We have to continue to promote change' hope-less and change more.

Preach

[magicallyandrew]

It’s not only family and friends’ love that can save us. When they accept us for who we are, it’s important but it’s not enough. You have to love yourself, the good and the bad parts. The only way to be in control of yourself is to embrace your whole being.

Love yourself
