My best friend, my first boyfriend, and my first love and I broke up recently as a direct result of two broken people who don’t love themselves enough to love each other. And that hurts more than anything I’ve ever felt in this life thus far. I’m even more broken.

“You"

“I told you I was looking for some empathy Well you fooled me Just, a touch and a thought and I was gone And now someone's gonna get to know the better you When I was supposed to Oh, oh, oh why did it have to be you

I guess now the next time there's an opportunity I'll tread more carefully My heart's running out of cellotape You know How is it I've never felt that way before I was so sure Oh, oh, oh it wasn't going to be you

Why do all the red flags Just look like so much fun, oh I have a habit of Searching for the damage To share my love

I promised to be numb But somehow you were the one Now to unwind Months of a good time

People will tell me that I messed up And it wasn't love And I'm secretly hoping they are right, because Whatever it was it was wonderful But non functional Oh I really hope I don't love you”

There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby. (via wordsnquotes)

Me at a stoplight dreaming of looking into the eyes of the man I will love and pulling him as close to me as possible and dancing until our hearts are beating together. You know, just the usual.
