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

Anaïs Nin, Nearer the Moon: From "A Journal of Love": The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1937-1939

i think dying or killing for someone is slightly overrated. dying just means you'll leave my side, killing means you'll leave my side as well. so it's a lose-lose there. and if i were to die for someone or kill for someone, they'd lose me. lose-lose, nothing good.

but living for someone? learning to appreciate life once again, to appreciate people again? oh god that's the kind of love i yearn for. live for me as i will live for you-- start to enjoy the flowers, the breeze, the clouds that pass in the sky, the little things you find enjoyable. live for me, and i will live for you.

Oh that? That’s my ancient tradition. I call it hurting my own feelings

hey google tell me how to stop feeling a crippling and deep seated fear of abandonment

[lil-mims]

I lay in bed and watch you sleep just to be close to you

You’ve closed yourself off to me again

I miss you

I’m so close but you’re so far

Failed again because of my vulnerability

I thought I was letting you in by sharing my anxieties but it made you turn away

My communication skills must suck

I want to reach out and touch you but I don’t want to feel the sting of you pulling away

So I lay here frozen in fear of furthering the distance longing for your love

[quoteastic]

Nobody deserves to fall asleep at night wondering why they weren't enough.
