This Is Why I'm Single

“This is a story of a girl who turned out wrong, because she only loved things that couldn’t love her back.” —Sophia, Skins

i can feel my heart beating  but not only in my chest  its in my fingertips, my legs, my arms. every place you have ever touched me. when we touch its like a release of endorphins making me feel whole life for once im actually noticed by you.

Giving up pride

And communicating.

[goldnpoc]

forgiving what exactly?

[cozyhotpapi-deactivated20171211]

Forgiving the fact that they’re people who are working through their past, like you, and will occasionally project their past traumas on you the way you might with them. Forgiving yourself, because growth takes time, and learning to be a pair is more work than just being on your own. Having partners you trust to forgive those moments where you might fall, help you back up and move forward, in my opinion, builds up the trust and love you need for a thriving relationship.

I am awake.

I am awake because last night you came to me in a dream and I did not think that was still possible.

I do not know why that is still possible. 

It is black magic to raise the dead and I hung up my robes a long time ago. I gave up the practice. Because practice makes perfect and nothing about this is. You know I thought you were once?  Perfect. Not flawless, but perfect.

Though it is hard to remember who either one of us were then.

I don’t want to be awake, but you have made me afraid of sleep. 

I don’t know what more to do to walk away from you.

How can there be years and miles between us and still no distance?

I am sorry someone loved you badly, and that they made you feel like you take up more space than you deserve. I am sorry they abandoned you when you need them the most and it has made you believe that love is an awful thing that hurts.

Amputees suffer pains, cramps, itches in the leg that are no longer there. That is how she felt without him, feeling his presence where he no longer was.

Me waiting for cuffin season so nobody can cuff me again

can u believe…there are people…who get loved everyday…..by someone who truly cares about them and their wellbeing…and they dont doubt for one second that they’re loved….amazing

source?

[crissle]

imagine someone really caring about you as a human being as opposed to caring about the way they feel when they’re around you. groundbreaking. idk that life.

[whyimsingle]

no but what do these words even mean?

[whyimsingle]

brain: here's a good memory with someone who ended up really hurting you

me: why did you bring me this

brain: just because

Do not allow him to consume you. If he does not call, go to sleep. If he does not message, put your phone away and have a fantastic day anyway. If he acts distant when you are with him and refuses to tell you what is wrong, don’t wait for him, go home and do something you love. If he tries to insinuate you do not need your friends now that you have him, spend more time with your friends. If he tries to teach you a lesson through the silent treatment, ignore him completely. If he plays with your feelings constantly, walk away from him. If he acts like your body is his entitlement when you are not ready, walk away from him. If he says terrible, unforgivable things and threatens to leave you after every argument, walk away from him. If he forbids you from doing anything you love, walk away from him. If he claims ownership of your accomplishments, walk away from him. If he demeans you or disrespects your being a girl and refuses to stop when you tell him it hurts, walk away from him. I cannot stress this enough, you live for yourself first. He is a secondary character in the story of your life. Do not allow him to turn you into a secondary character in your own book

I think I could have loved you better than anybody, and I can’t stop making lists of all the times I almost told you that. That’s what I’m doing. I’m twisting our story until it stops remembering you just so I can sleep at night. But I’ll always be here, hands like a broken record that skips at the sleepless night before you crawled back into yourself for good. Just know that I’ve been waiting. Know that you’re the first time I ever swallowed my pride and then spit it back up. I hope you remember what your bed felt like with me laying honest in it. That is what brave looked like.
