The way I see it

Melbourne to Gainesville. 23.  Abstract.

Who am I

I used to be sure.

I used to be happy.

I used to have dreams.

I used to hope without hesitating.

I think I’m drowning; there isn’t any water, but I can barely breathe without suffocating myself with doubt and insecurity.

I’m finally alone. I’ve isolated myself completely. I’ve lost touch with what I used to believe was important, but now I question everything.

I used to believe if I was skinny, I would be attractive. I used to believe if I did my make up correctly, I would be noticed. I used to believe that my degree would make my mother proud of me.

Now I know better.

I want to learn to love again. I want to learn to hope, be present, be happy.

I’m afraid that I’ve burned too many bridges to matter to anyone anymore. 

I read your words over and over again to try to remind myself that I once mattered to you, to someone. But the more I read them, the less I feel like the person you once loved.

How do I find her again?

Help me.

Lost

I’m still in love with you. I’m sorry. I’m scared. I can’t take back the words I said or my actions, but know you’ll always carry a piece of my heart.

There’s a part of me that still believes it’s supposed to be you. I don’t know where to go from here.

I have learned to love myself. I’ve grown through pain and sadness, and I am finally able to recognize my own worth, a concept I had forgotten to believe in.

I miss you in the songs on the radio. I feel your presence in my dreams, and aspirations for my future.

There’s a Tear in My Heart. 

All I want to do right now is Shut Up and Dance with you.

Do you miss me too? I’m too afraid to ask.

I don’t know how to be good enough for you anymore. I wonder if I ever was.

I love you. Always.

“With Infinite Love;”

It’s easy, you know, to fall for someone.

It happens all too quickly in an irrational chain of events. Something as simple as buying me my favorite ice-cream and holding my hand in the parking lot brings you closer to my heart than anyone ever was.

This is a fair warning, this love will come with consequence.

I am broken, and you’re healing me. For quite some time I have struggled to find a purpose and a source of strength to draw from. You are the unending ocean with boundless life that inspires me every single day.

It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. In fact, it wasn’t supposed to happen at all.

I try to think back to a moment where I could’ve stopped it. Maybe if I didn’t like the way you reach for my hand when you’re fast asleep, or the way that you look at me when I’m lying next to you.

Most people say love is beautiful. I think it’s terrifying.

You now hold my heart in your hands. I have no control over where we go from here. I’m consumed by thoughts about you. Your obnoxious laugh, the way you scratch your head when you’re nervous, and how you’re a complete weirdo, just like me.

I feel safe with your hand in mine. Intertwined by mutual admiration and serenity.

It’s not that I want this to stop, in fact I’m more intrigued than I’ve ever been; but things are so good, too good even.

This means there will be pain, heartache, tears and sadness. And loving a broken girl will break you too.

You’ll hear me bad-mouth myself. I’ll never be 100% confident in my abilities. Insecurity is my shadow, blanketing and blinding me from reality.

But never doubt that I will be your biggest cheerleader. I will always defend you because just like in chess, the queen protects her king.

I will always be honest with how I am feeling. I will never shy away from an opportunity to be with you.

Just know that I am no virgin, but this is virgin territory for me. Trusting, whole-heartedly that my soul’s demons will be able to play well with yours.

I’m not expecting a forever and an always, I just want a right now with you. However long ‘now’ is, I’ll take it.

You’re inconceivably wonderful and I am dumbfounded that you would pick someone like me to love you, but darling—I do.

Fun fact!  This action is called “snurgling”.

It’s a kitten’s way of stimulating mommy to make milk… some cats never stop doing it and will even snurgle things like fleecy blankets or stuffed animals or your leg/tummy

[kittenmodtalks]

Snurgle is the dorkiest and cutest word in the world Oh my gosh

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

Because, you speak to me in words; I look at you with feelings.
