i don't want to move, i don't want to think and i don't want to feel. i don't want this loneliness to eat me whole, to say goodbye to someone you've thought will always be there. we are nothing but two souls interconnected in some way but never got the chance to meet. there is pain and regret and maybe hope. hope, that whatever road we take and wherever it will lead us, someday our paths will cross again and maybe then, we won't have to say goodbye.

i have so many thoughts and so many ideas, but like always, i choose to keep them locked at the back of my head. why am i so afraid?

[notyourvault]

i always expect the worst of people, situations, decisions, and feelings. because i feel like if i do that, they won't be able to hurt me deeply. like when someone makes a promise, i would always expect them to break it at one point, and when they do, it wouldn't hurt me as much. i'll feel disappointed but never surprised and hurt.

That scene in The Bear where Andrea Terry says "I got to do all the things I wanted to do, the way I wanted to do them... with the people I wanted to do them with."
