“I was so in love with you that I ignored how horribly you treated me.”

— (via headuphigh-middlefingerhigher)

[politicatz]

I’ll never stop loving you; I will always believe in another chance, another time, and forgive unconditionally when it comes to you. “There are some people in this world you can just love and love no matter what.”

That has horrifying potential to be bad, unwise. But unless there comes a point when real harm is done, or I lose the ability to choose freely, I will again and again pick Tristan, forgive and forget honest mistakes or unsound judgment (within reason), and not justify that to anyone else.

“Before you say yes, get him angry. See him scared, see him wanting, see him sick. Stress changes a person. Find out if he drinks and if he does, get him drunk - you’ll learn more about his sober thoughts. Discover his addictions. See if he puts you in front of them. You can’t change people, baby girl. If they are made one way, it doesn’t just wear off. If you hate how he acts when he’s out of it now, you’re going to hate it much worse eight years down the road. You might love him to bits but it doesn’t change that some people just don’t fit.”

me when I get drunk at family functions: CAPITALISM IS A LIE IT DON'T WORK WAKE UP

[rohie-deactivated20191102]

“The low-maintenance woman, the ideal woman, has no appetite. This is not to say that she refuses food, sex, romance, emotional effort; to refuse is petulant, which is ironically more demanding. The woman without appetite politely finishes what’s on her plate, and declines seconds. She is satisfied and satisfiable.

A man’s appetite can be hearty, but a woman with an appetite is always voracious: her hunger always overreaches, because it is not supposed to exist. If she wants food, she is a glutton. If she wants sex, she is a slut. If she wants emotional care-taking, she is a high-maintenance bitch or, worse, an “attention whore”: an amalgam of sex-hunger and care-hunger, greedy not only to be fucked and paid but, most unforgivably of all, to be noticed.”

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.

I know now that we never get over great losses; we absorb them, and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures.

Some of the truest words I’ve ever read.

What if, in another universe, I deserve you?

Sometimes it was hard to express how much you loved someone. You said the words, but you could never quite capture the depth of it. You could never quite hold someone tightly enough.

Life really is amazing, and when you’re about to lose it, you finally notice that you never really took it in before. And you realize the sheer magnitude of what it involves, from your first kiss to your hundredth slice of pizza. I guess that’s why those tears drifted down my cheeks.

Ryan C. Thomas, The Summer I Died (via heresay)

It is sad that the things that we saw in each other are no longer there. It is a shame that we tore each other apart looking for things that we needed desperately but could never find. It is tragic that we only wanted to give each other but only stole from ourselves and blamed each other for the emptiness in our lives. I see you differently now. I no longer fear you. It took years to see you for what you really are.

I think relationships in general are over romanticized like at the end of the day I’m pretty sure a good relationship is just two people who know how to hang out and talk to each other not whether or not they can right all your wrongs or paint a picture of a thousand suns with the breath from your lungs or some shit

funny feeling of the year:  some people and situations are beyond forgiveness.  as in, some people have been so atrocious that forgiveness doesn’t matter.  i will never forgive the people who have betrayed, hurt, and been so destructive in my life.  

for my own emotional/mental health, you get none of my forgiveness or grace; i will regard you with contempt whenever you reappear in my life because that is how deeply and indelibly you carved your memory in my heart

exhausted and done caring, my heart can’t take it anymore
