"new year, new me," i say, smiling to my friends and family as the new year begins. Suddenly, my entire body bursts into flame as every atom and genetic code is rewritten. Great wings sprout from my back and i take to the air. I have transformed into a dragon. The new me. fear me

There’s lies being told and secrets being kept, so as much as I found it heartwarming to see Connor try and forgive him in that moment, I do think Oliver in that scene is right, that that’s not an indication of a healthy relationship and there is something wrong there. But Oliver gets a job working for Annalise, so we sort of see throughout the season how that is going to shake out.

Never make fun of someone’s passion because that’s the thing that saves them from the world.

live and let live aspire to inspire (via misjudgments)

When family/friends "tease" me about my interests

What they think they're doing: good harmless fun :)

What they're actually doing: making me more paranoid, making me ashamed of what I like, more distrustful. More likely to hide all my interests and not want to open up to anybody.

“For Women Who Are Difficult To Love” by Warsan Shire

You are a horse running alone and he tries to tame you compares you to an impossible highway to a burning house says you are blinding him that he could never leave you forget you want anything but you you dizzy him, you are unbearable every woman before or after you is doused in your name you fill his mouth his teeth ache with memory of taste his body just a long shadow seeking yours but you are always too intense frightening in the way you want him unashamed and sacrificial he tells you that no man can live up to the one who lives in your head and you tried to change didn’t you?

closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do love split his head open? you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love.
