It’s funny  But it’s true 

And it’s true  But it’s not funny 

Time comes and goes  All the while  I still think of you 

Some things last a long time

You were the worst thing, That ever happened to me You were my best friend, Accept apologies I’m holding no grudge now, But you should know that I know where you are now And that is too close for me

I can’t feel your bones but I can see them. And I can’t call you up without a reason. I can take a thousand miles and I can drive for hours to your house in the summer but I can stay longer if you wanted me too.

I go to sleep and keep grinning; If this is just the beginning,  My life’s gonna be beautiful.

When toxic, abusive people deny the damage they have done to you, a part of your validity and integrity are instantly diminished. It is up to you to validate yourself. Abusive people will deny everything and can, at times, make you believe that you are in the wrong and not them. The refusal to apologize or even to acknowledge they have a problem in the first place is highly toxic and always hurtful.

“Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of you―and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing does.”

— George Saunders (via mesogeios)

“I looked at everyone and wondered where they came from, and who they missed, and what they were sorry for.”

“This is the fragile space between coming and going, where “love” is a question I am still afraid of asking: the place where you kiss like you mean it, but– do you kiss me enough? Or is it compulsory, just–goodnight and goodbye, neverhello and good morning?”

— Ashe Vernon (via latenightcornerstore)

“Can I tell you a secret? You don’t have to be in a relationship. I mean it. I know they force it down your throat until you choke on it. Girls aren’t pretty unless they’re wanted. Boys aren’t men unless they’re having sex with someone. People aren’t lovable until they’re dating someone. But a relationship won’t always make you happy, and as wonderful as romance is, it isn’t the only love that exists. I have seen friendships that are deeper and more pure than couples who swear it’s forever - and yet the friendship is the one people ignore. I have heard so often “nobody loves me” out of the mouths of people who are single. And it kills me because if you ask them: where are your parents, your teachers, your classmates, your pets - they say, yes, okay, but it doesn’t count. Of course it counts, love doesn’t diminish just because someone doesn’t want to have sex with you. In fact, doesn’t it sort of make that love more real that they want nothing - not even a date - out of you? It is pretty to be in love. It’s magical, I’m sure. But it’s also wonderful to stop for ice cream in your prom dress with six other girls. It’s also wonderful to go visit the world with nothing but a bunch of buddies who are really excited about learning. The problem is: we’ve made everything about “the one”. But maybe “the one” is just you, loving yourself, having fun, and being happy. Maybe instead of looking for our other halves, we should be piecing ourselves together. Maybe I wasn’t born unfinished. Maybe I am the one who makes myself better.”
