“Things never end the way you expect them to. Though our time with each other was always vibrant and loving, the end came suddenly and spineless, without send off or ceremony, slipping away quietly into the dark. An ordinary moment, like any other, that just happened to be our last.”

— Beau Taplin

honestly it’s actually the small, mundane, boring things that someone does for you out of love which mean so much rather than grand gestures and proclamations

[inkskinned]

i want to be so kind it echoes backwards in time and undoes the things that hurt you. i want to be so kind it radiates from me. i want to be so kind that i make someone else find faith in humanity again. there’s not much i can do, i’m small and weak and i only know so many words. but i know i can be kind. and sometimes, i believe, that changes the world.

[slfcare]

i promise you this: whoever you're becoming, however much effort you're putting in everyday, whatever it is you're working towards outweighs the person you've been and the mistakes you've made. who you are today matters. you are not ruined.

I kept it all bottled up. Then, what should have been tiny drops of rain, poured out like a river. They were inside too long. I kept them hidden, so no one would know. And I nearly drowned myself.

Colors. I’ve thought about this for a while, and have asked myself “what color do I give off?” I think we all radiate a color. You sense it. It surrounds all of us, but we all give off our own color. All different, but you feel it as soon as you meet someone. Some people are blue. Cool and calm. Some are red. Angry. Ready for a fight. Some are glowing white. You feel that they are good, even innocent. Some are pink. Shy and backwards. Some are black as night. Shady. Cold hearted. They suck the air out of a room. Green people seem to know a lot, but you have to ask. They are not braggarts, just very efficient. They just may be the best of all. Orange are fiery but not mean, just excited. Yellow timid. All colors. We all give off colors. When you walk in, what do people see. What is your color? And is it what you want it to be?
