hey! before i post anything on here, i’m going to be very upfront. i am not poetic. very very few of these quotes/poems i have written on my own, but i will always give credit to original author. i will either post all the time or never at all. these are some writings that i think are beautiful or mean something to me, and i hope you guys feel the same joy reading them! most importantly, i am always always always here to talk. whether you just had the best day of your life and want to share, or you need some advice. always here!

i need a father. i need a mother. i need some older, wiser being to cry to. i talk to god, but the sky is empty.

your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

[feltpoetry]

it ends or it doesn't. that's what you say. that's how you get through it. the tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. it ends or it doesn't. if the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it. if they don't come back, you sleep in the middle of the bed, learn how to make enough coffee for yourself. adapt. adjust. it ends or it doesn't. it ends or it doesn't. we do not perish.

“you can’t skip chapters, that’s not how life works. you have to read every line, meet every character. you won’t enjoy all of it. hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. you will read things you don’t want to read, you will have moments where you don’t want the pages to end. but, you have to keep going. stories keep the world revolving. live yours, don’t miss out.”

“do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.”

“today i saw you, i didn’t feel the butterflies and i didn’t want to kiss you. i just saw you and you were like every boy in the world, and i swear it was your fault”
