like a lily, drowned, under water—

lissa; don’t depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness—

I thought I had been surviving, and yet, what I was really doing was hanging by a string, loosely holding myself from collapsing. I was always on the verge, and I could feel that friction in my soul.

Thank you for being nice to me when no one else was. I did notice. It's just that your mom was so heinous that I'd already decided you were, too. You're the type of person who usually bullies me or looks right through me. But you didn't. You actually went out of your way to try to tell people I was part of your family. You really actually wanted me to be your sister. You are, you know? You are my sister. You're a great person, Taff. And I'm sorry I hurt you. I love you.
