It’s not worth fighting for someone you love if that person doesn’t feel the same way about you.

Learn to let go and you will eventually find peace.

I’m not waiting, but I’m willing if you call me up

If you ever want to be in love

Chaos and the calm// 4am

quintessence

as i grow older, i see more & more patterns stitched into existence

and finally, i understand why we live the same narrative over and over again;

it’s because it calms the storm, sewing a skin of sense

onto a world that never stops

//

the mouth is what we are— a void that always asks for more

all we can do is eat our dreams and dance in the sun

there is not much time and yet there is far too much
