I believe one of my karmic responsibilities is to embody that Amy Winehouse line when she was in an interview talking about music back in the day and how the gist of it all was “I don’t care if you don’t love me I will lay down in the road pull my heart out and show it to you.” I’ve never been able to love like that, I’m so on the defence, so guarded and for what? Fear of heartbreak? Tuh

“This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.” ― Franz Kafka

not to be all [i love you till my breathing stops i love you till you call the cops on me] [it’s rotten work not to me not if it’s you] [i can take care of myself just fine. no. what do you mean no? no] [one word from you and i would jump off of this ledge i’m on baby] [i will do anything whatever she wants] [is that too much to expect? that i would name the stars for you?] [you want to die for love you always have] [love for you is not like the usual romantic love. it’s like a religion. it’s terrifying] but i want a love full of devotion
