#on love

[mockiatoh]

Here’s the thing. At some point, you gotta realize that you are the love of your life. That you are your oldest friend. If you can accept the bleak reality that there is no one coming to save you, and then you survive that? The person who saved you was you. The person who risked everything to save you was you. And you gotta start giving yourself credit for everything you’ve done when showing up for yourself was the hardest thing to do. Because you still did it. And you’ve gotta learn to view past-you with compassion.

She tried immersing him in love

Hoping to heal him

To break the patterns

That kept him from evolving

He tried immersing her in neglect

Hoping to teach her

To ask for nothing

Be satisfied with nothing

Only one therapy could take hold…

Love is the most powerful force

But it’s also the purest

It is a door held open for you

Warmly inviting you to step inside

Love asks to be chosen

You must cross the threshold

Consciously; intentionally

And when reciprocated

Love’s reverberation rings out

Altering space and time

And all who receive it’s vibrations

That allowance—that choice—matters

Always

I think I know how many times one has to start again, and how often one feels that one cannot start again. And yet, on pain of death, one can never remain where one is. 

The light. The light. One will perish without the light.

me telling my bestie about some of the reasons i decided to be single again and she goes "i mean at the end of the day the thing is we're both people who love very loudly so when that energy isn't matched it's like 'what the hell is the point?'" and i'm rotating that

you listened. i cant believe after so long, someone listened. i need to disappear from your life and you need to forget i ever existed. you've seen too much, you know too much. if you prod anymore you'll see the rot. i can see the end already

I wish i could chase the eternal void of nothingness, instead of be on my knees for another scrap of affection you toss my way without even knowing that you do.

i do not deserve you. you deserve better than someone you could lose to their own hand
