But the problem is, once you love someone, you can’t have it all anymore. Love comes with sacrifice. That’s how it works.

A veces uno amanece con ganas de extinguirse... Como si fuéramos velitas sobre un pastel de alguien inapetente. A veces nos arden terriblemente los labios y los ojos y nuestras narices se hinchan y somos horribles y lloramos y queremos extinguirnos... Así es la vida, un constante querer apagarse y encenderse. -Julio Cortázar
“El golpe es duro para quién empezó siendo poco creyente en el ‘amor’. El golpe es duro para quién de un incrédulo pasó a ser lo contrario, a entregar todo y esperarlo, sacrificándolo todo a dejarse llevar e ir contra sus creencias… el golpe es duro para quién volvió a creer para ser fuertemente decepcionado.”
— Firthunands

Learn to let go, it will be okay
Real love doesn’t need nudes. It doesn’t need intimate pictures. It needs trust, respect, and care. Don’t trade your peace for someone’s lust.
