as long as you smile ☆

[spacebuns]

You never come back, not all the way. Always there is an odd distance between you and the people you love and the people you meet, a barrier thin as the glass of a mirror, you never come all the way out of the mirror; you stand, for the rest of your life, with one foot in this world and no one in another, where everything is upside down and backward and sad.

Marya Hornbacher (via skeletonized)

[eletheowl]

And she finds it difficult to believe - that a person would love her even when she isn’t trying. Trying to figure out what other people need, trying to be worthy.

Margaret Atwood (via eletheowl)
