I just want someone to love me.

I just want anyone to love me.

“You are unique. You have different talents and abilities. You don’t have to always follow in the footsteps of others. And most important, you should always remind yourself that you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing and have a responsibility to develop the talents you have been given.”

— Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Do not love half lovers.

Do not love half lovers.

Do not entertain half friends

Do not indulge in works of the half talented

Do not live half a life and do not die a half death

If you choose silence, then be silent

When you speak, do so until you are finished

Do not silence yourself to say something

And do not speak to be silent If you accept, then express it bluntly

Do not mask it

If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance

Do not accept half a solution

Do not believe half truths

Do not dream half a dream

Do not fantasize about half hopes

Half a drink will not quench your thirst

Half a meal will not satiate your hunger

Half the way will get you no where

Half an idea will bear you no results

Your other half is not the one you love

It is you in another time yet in the same space

It is you when you are not

Half a life is a life you didn't live, A word you have not said

A smile you postponed

A love you have not had

A friendship you did not know

To reach and not arrive

Work and not work

Attend only to be absent

What makes you a stranger to them closest to you and they strangers to you

The half is a mere moment of inability but you are able for you are not half a being

You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life

-Kahlil Gibran

Someone who loves you the way you are <3

“Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.”

It's okay

to curl up next to your rage

like a cat

and let its fire warm you.

[catarinehancock]

“and i’d like to think

that if we never speak again,

one day you’ll look back on me fondly

as somebody who didn’t fear the future

when they pictured you by their side.

i’d like to think

you’ll remember me

as somebody who loved you

the best they could,

even if it wasn’t always what

you wanted or needed.

i’d like to think

you’ll remember me

as somebody you could

have spent your life with,

if only the timing had been right.

if only we’d worked for it

just a little bit

harder.”

- catarine hancock, author of shades of lovers and sometimes i fall asleep thinking about you
