I need a father. I need a mother. I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty.

Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

you are allowed to

grieve

over the child you could've been

They burned the bridge,

...a burnt child loves the fire.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

the only person i have ever been genuinely afraid of was my father

Somebody said your love language is based off of what you didn't receive as a child and can't stop thinking about it.

he was supposed to be

the first male love of your life

everywhere

- father

Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

Having kids doesn't make you a father.

Raising them does.

My poor mother had to watch my heart get broken again, not by a boy, but by her own father.

Your father didn’t love you , so you assume no one else would either.

Caroline Forbes (via ashesofcaptivity)

When you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire. But it's not.

- Richard Kadrey, Aloha from Hell

Sнe is a child that was forced to grow up.

"But it made you stronger".

I was a child.

I didn't need to be stronger.

I needed to be safe.
