Sometimes you don’t get what you want because you deserve better

[curlsandstems]

Nobody is easy to date. Everyone has their insecurities, flaws, and certain ways of doing things that makes us who we are. Perfect people and relationships only exist on TV. The most important thing is finding someone who loves you on your worst days and will fight through the hard times.

I [forgive] myself for loving

those who have harmed me    for cooking them dinner & burning the rice    forgetting to add pepper    or make myself a plate     I [forgive] myself for staying     I [forgive]

myself for staying      until I left my skin

— Brandon Melendez, from “Standing at The Mirror, The Author Writes A Poem for Himself in Which the Word Hate Is Replaced with The Word Forgive,” published in Frontier Poetry

not to be cliche, but life really is the little things. that cup of coffee in the morning i make while dancing to silly songs. that one time someone said my hair looked really cute (even though i disagree). or when i draw something and finally feel confident about it. when i find a quote i deeply resonate with and it stays with me. minutes i spend laughing with someone i love. life is that. the small, really small stuff adds up to the big picture, so when i look back i see little snippets of everything and everyone i’ve ever loved.

“I weep because you cannot save people. You can only love them. You can’t transform them, you can only console them.”
