Dont accept the bare minimum from him, he should be giving you more.and if he doesn't, there is someone else out there who will.

“The things that shake the core of your being, sometimes, they are not as explicit. Sometimes, when you’re experiencing them, you won’t even think much about them. It’s only later that you can see how that very thing has changed something so significantly in you. Maybe that works for both good and bad things. But till now, I’ve only had the misfortune of experiencing the latter. Sure, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And yes, everything that I have lived through made me who I am today. But also like I wouldn’t mind being a sheltered person living in a bubble without scars and nightmares. Ignorance is bliss. I don’t think I can take much pride or comfort in wisdom and empathy that the seasons of suffering in my life have left me with. I’ like to be a bit selfish. I’d like to be carefree. I’d like to be young and dumb. I’d like to be able to stop lying to the world around me. I’d like to be able to admit the truth. But what do you do when you know that the truth will shatter you? You wait. You wait until you’re in a place with powdered gold. So that when you put yourself back together, you’re more beautiful than before.”

“When a mother dies, a daughter grieves. And then her life moves on. She does, thankfully, feel happiness again. But the missing her, the wanting her, the wishing she were still here—I will not lie to you, although you probably already know: That part never ends.”

Hope Edelman, Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss

[chasingpagesquotes]

“In the end, we are all our mothers’ children, no matter how saintly or evil they might be; and the loss of their love is the earthquake that cracks your foundation forever. It’s permanent damage.”

— Janelle Brown, Pretty Things

‘I took my grief down to the river to drown it there but it was the grief that carried me and it won’t be bringing me home.’

Cheryl Strayed - Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

[thegirlthatcriesacademia]

Grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

- Jamie Anderson

The fact that anger is a secondary emotion… that its source is grief… how tragic and poetic
