She doesn’t need luck.

She is capable, steady, and strong.

Her determination and hands

will carry her exactly where she’s meant to go.

learning how to leave people alone and go on with your life is very important

[imanes]

“some things aren’t meant to last” ok but consider this: I love permanence and consistency

“Imagine being with someone where it’s enough safe to just talk for hours about your fears and the things you’re ashamed of … Hours of pure vulnerability. And when you look up again and expect the worst, you get kissed instead. imagine …”

The solitude I’ve chosen, the inner life I’ve cultivated, the love I’ve turned outward after loss…. I’m not asking love to make me whole. I’d be inviting someone into a life already full of meaning.

[romanticsoftheart]

i hate how badly i want to be chosen.

not just liked. not just tolerated.

chosen. understood. known.

and i hate that i still can’t say that out loud without choking on it—

this shame of needing

like it’s a weakness i should’ve outgrown by now.

but i didn’t.

and it still burns in my throat.

Empty bed

My bed has been empty for 2 years And heated by empty vessels long before

Figures that could not touch the loneliness, whose touch ghosted over me but never stayed

Sometimes it was me, the incorporeal being, just out of reach

But most of the time I was screaming to be loved and you seemed on another plane

I could not reach you through the ether But nor could I banish you

So I stayed alone, in my not quite empty bed

Waited to have the space to stretch and grow again

To become tall and strong and maybe One day Become someone you could love

[truthmeetscourage]

I feel attacked. 🙄
