My name is Resa. I am a girl just working to mend a soul that was once broken many moons ago.....

The world tried to harden me. And it did. But not the way it meant to. Now my softness has fangs, and I only bleed when I want to.

Take this day to be thankful. You got to wake up. To feel air flow through your lungs. To bat your eyelashes at a world that waits for you. You, are special — and you always will be.

you cannot hold onto

life so tightly,

doing so won’t ensure

that it won’t suffocate you

sometimes letting go

is the only way you can

liberate yourself

perhaps it’s the only way

you can survive in this world

When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'You're safe with me' — that's intimacy.

“Learn to give people up before they hurt you beyond repair. Even if they tell you they will change. Even if they tell you that they love you. Just remember, love isn’t meant to be permanently damaging. Love is meant to aid your healing.”

“I am sorry someone loved you badly, and that they made you feel like you take up more space than you deserve. I am sorry they abandoned you when you need them the most and it has made you believe that love is an awful thing that hurts.”

“Tell me darling, would you still love me If I told you about the monsters I need to sing to sleep every night? If you understood the way I need to tiptoe across my own mind so I can fall asleep before daylight? if you knew where the nightmares came from, if you saw my scarred soul, would being with me terrify you? If you knew the full extent of the damage they have done to me, would you stay, would you still want to?”

“I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.”
