Love me anyway

When you get pissed at me for ignoring you all day, please love me anyway. When you get frustrated because there are days I just don’t feel like talking and I am buried so far behind a book, please love me anyway. When you get mad because I keep misinterpreting your words since I have this awful habit of thinking the worst, please love me anyway. When I am clutching at my own skin like it’s an enemy; when I am hiccuping so violently I can’t speak; when I look at you everyday like you’re still just a stranger and I can’t breathe, please please please love me anyway.

You said you weren’t articulate with your words, but I see it differently and so do they.

[books-n-quotes]

I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break.

Marya Hornbacher, Wasted (via books-n-quotes)

I wonder how much of me is actually who I am,

Or how much of me is the result of things I’ve been through.

“I don’t know what to say. I have a strong love of words but they fail me still sometimes. It may be caused by having too many thoughts to know where to start. Or there are times my heart and mind are having it out and I am too exhausted to get anything out of my mouth. When silence stretches too long between myself and another, I forget how to fill it with anything light and airy. I can’t just pretend the conversation gap didn’t exist but at the same time, calling attention to it can lead to finger-pointing and my hands aren’t always clean. So the heavy silence remains. And it looks like maybe I don’t really run out of words because look at all of these and there are more bubbling underneath. Perhaps it is the fear of saying the wrong ones–or the right ones in the wrong order–that holds me back.”

“You cannot handcuff smoke to the expectations of a closed-minded god. I’m living beyond the realm of the okay and it is not going well. Each image of my past is a skyward scar creasing the reality of my situation. I’m not perfect and neither is this situation but here I am and here we are sitting on the precipice of culled tongues and broken celestial bodies. The abyss is calling but I won’t accept the charges. You cannot burden me with the dying of the light, for I am beyond saving.”

“You ever love someone so much you wish things were as simple as kissing their pain away? Because “sorry” doesn’t quite cut it and “give it time” is just too intangible and all you can do is sit there with them, in silence, wishing that holding their hand was enough.”

— N.M.Sanchez, from Initial Meeting

“The greatest lessons you will ever learn; how to love someone without trying to own or belong to them, and how to let go gracefully of the things and the people that hurt you.”

It took me far too many tears to realize that I’m better off without you than I am feeling lonely beside you.

When will I learn that I can’t teach you to care about me?

When will I learn that maybe you don’t love me the way I love you?
