you better watch out, you better watch out, you better watch oUT, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETT–

[wordscanbeenough]

For a long time I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to put myself back together, because letting go of the sadness would mean I had to redefine myself. And sometimes, I still feel like chasing the darkness, because I don’t exactly know who I am without it. I realised I made a home out of something I should have never let in.

I just have this happy personality and a sad soul in one body. It feels weird sometimes.

when you feel so much younger than you are because you have spent your entire adolescence trying not to kill yourself instead of growing up

and now you are still alive but you don’t know how to take care of yourself and no one understands why it is so hard for you

Some days you exist like the last speaker of an extinct language. These are the silences that litter the heart.

Do you believe in the magnet of scars? I believe people who have been through hell will build their love from the still burning coals.

Sensitive people should be treasured. They love deeply and think deeply about life. They are loyal, honest, and true. The simple things often mean the most to them. They don;t need to change or harden. their purity makes them who they are.

A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful.

I have to believe there’s a way. There has to be a way to step off the carousel. To start again. To start fresh. There has to be a way to leave all my ghosts behind. It’s a choice I’m making, to move forward. To move past this. I can do that. All I have to do is begin.

I still remember you as a little girl who overwaters plants because she doesn’t know when to stop giving.

Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.

you ask what I have done with my life. why I am 22 with so many unfinished selves. so many futures I could not commit to. but you don’t know how much of my time has been spent keeping myself alive.

When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

I wait and ache. I think I am healing.
