the truth is, life constantly changes every minute of everyday. you lose friends. you gain friends. you realize who you considered and thought was your friend wasn’t ever really your friend and the person you used to hate could of actually made a really good friend. you look for for love. you find love. you lose love. you realize all long that you’ve been loved, that you are loved. you laugh. you cry. you laugh so hard that you cry. you do this, you do that. you really wish you hadn’t done that. you then learn from that and end up glad you did that. you have memories you wish you could relive. you have memories that you never want to relive. you have your ups. you have your downs. you read good books, see good movies. you read bad books, see bad movies. you wounder if your life is just a big movie or a strange, wonderful book. you look at others and wish you were them. you then realize who they are and end up being glad that you are you. you love life. you hate life. you love humans. you hate humans. In the end, you just find yourself happy to be living life, no matter what is being thrown at you because of life and maybe, just maybe, this is a book or movie after all, and you want to see how it ends. • • - m

We were young and naive

I think some of us meet a right person at the wrong time and thats what happened with us. You were everything I ever wanted but time was not of the essence and we weren’t meant to work out then. Maybe one day we will bump into each other and exchange numbers again in hopes of rekindling the same spark that we once had

[statecommunity]

Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.

"WE"

If we’re talking I need to know what “we” are all about. You want friendship? Tell me. So I can treat you like a friend. You’re talking to other girls? Tell me. So I can talk to others too. You’re only talking to me? Tell me. So I can commit too. You’re not feeling anything? TELL ME! So I can stop wasting my time. I would understand, sometimes you have to accept that the one you fall for isn’t ready to catch you.

[faithcarreon]

Whoa! Well said 👏 TELL ME.

[small-town-girl1]

I keep waiting for you to tell me you made a mistake

[faithcarreon]

Ahuh!

So what is it like to love her?

Well..

Have you ever gazed out over the ocean? You never get tired of staring. Being in love with her is like your heart beating out of your chest because she’s so beautiful. It’s listening to the words she has to say because she trusts you to be there and you love her enough to do that and then some. It is what you’re for. Loving her is waking up in the morning and moving the hair from her face so you can kiss her forehead and be the first thing she sees when she opens her eyes. It’s laying with her and rubbing her back until she falls asleep because she doesn’t feel good and you wish you could take her pain. Loving her is being able to achieve your dreams with her and always being reminded that you matter. It is knowing we’re not perfect people. You never stop loving anyway. It’s knowing you’re safe, it’s laying there with her head on your heart and your arms wrapped around her tight. Loving her is the best cure for the demons in your head when it’s late at night and she makes you feel like you’re perfect. Loving her is studying all of the details. And the details never get old.

The details are what make you fall in love even more.

You cant make somebody be ready for what you’re ready for, and you’re not obligated to wait around either.

This is me…😏

[faithcarreon]

Hahaha, this is soooo me 😂

[aesthetically-teasing]

I wish

I wish

I wish I could just go back Back to the time when it was answers I lacked

To tell the boy who thinks my love is a game That he has no right to put me to shame

My body is a temple and a blessing So why do I hate myself while i’m undressing

It’s not just my breasts which are exposed It’s the door to my heart and soul that’s now closed

I have a lover who tells me i’m beautiful and smart But to my boy I just don’t fit the part

He says he loves me till the end of time But every time he looks, he sees my head on a body that’s not mine

And my lover, oh my sweet lover He makes my heart jump and flutter

I shouldn’t be feeling these emotions poking my heart with a pin But he is a sweet and holy angel’s sin I know I’m damned for good But he treats me like every good man should

And the boy, the one who I rushed into loving Is having the time of his life staring at the girls who go clubbing

He says he imagines my face on their bodies He doesn’t know how much pain those words caused me

Now my lover is silent and shy I know he wont speak but I still try

I know he thinks that I’m wild and mad But what can you expect when my boy makes me so sad

If only I could leave him, write a message and hit send But if my family knew, my whole world would end.

If there’s a god show some mercy I beg “You have to love me the way I am” is what I should have said.

This isn’t a dear diary type of entry This is me releasing the demons inside me

So lover sweet lover if you have anything to say Come hug me and kiss me and tell me it will all be okay.

1.3.16

“I was always told I was never enough. I was never smart enough. I was never pretty enough. I never tried hard enough. I never loved enough. Even my pain wasn’t enough because there’s always someone who has it worse. But I came to realize the measurement of those things don’t determine whether I am enough.”

Once in Your Life  (Bob Marley)

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Desire Alone Is Not Enough

“It’s not enough to have the intention of changing; you have to act on that intention for things to get better—and not just once, but consistently. As the ancient Roman philosopher Lucretius pointed out: “The fall of dropping water wears away the stone.” Consistent action on the critical tasks needed to reach your goal is the key to getting what you want in life. Your current actions are creating your future. If you want to know what your future holds, look to your actions; they are the best predictor of your future. You want to predict your future health, look at your current eating and exercise habits. You want to predict the health of your marriage, look at your interactions with your spouse. You want to predict your career path and future income, look at the actions you take each business day. Your actions tell the story.”

- Brian P. Moran. “The 12 Week Year.”

i’m sorry every song’s about you

[thegirlwithfernweh]

learning to love yourself is so often a two steps forward, five steps back kind of process. it is announcing to the world that you are happy in your skin, and it is being happy, for a few weeks. then it is the months of insecurity. the staring in mirrors and the reflective surfaces of storefronts, the wondering why the ones you loved could never love you. the wondering why you still need them to accept you even though they never made any attempt to,  with your too big arms and scars and hair that never curled in the right direction. with your pointy hip bones and split ends and face that could never be quite perfectly clear. with your loud laugh and your bad posture  and your inability to just shut up and listen. learning to love yourself is writing lists of imperfections, but it is also realizing you are worthy of love, even as the lists continue to pile up. it is asking yourself what love is - defining it for yourself makes it easier to understand, easier to feel.  it is refusing narratives that conflate with your own definition. it is drowning yourself in the bad weeks and it is finally coming up for air, with the promise to not sink so deep the next time around. it is keeping that promise. it is, maybe after years, not having to hold your breath anymore.
