“It Takes A Long Time To Make Love With Someone Who Hates Themselves.”

Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.

— Neal Shusterman, Unwind

The world is kinder than it seems from the view of your abusive relationships.

I know it doesn't seem like it. It seems scary, and stressful, and unfair, and terrifying beyond belief. Maybe you were fed lies about what the world is like - abusers can go above and beyond to keep you depended on them, to keep you afraid. Maybe you were hurt, badly, by malice or by negligence of the masses.

But remember that the world is also large. And even if your family, school, work or hometown is cruel, there's kindness elsewhere. There are people who will listen. There are people who will believe and who will do their best to help.

You might not be ready to trust the world, to give some kindness to it, and that okay. Understandable, even. But.. I want you to remember that kindness and happiness do exist, and you'll sure as hell find yours.

As soon as I lose touch with you, I find myself completely lost. I feel my happiness being snatched away. I start looking for temporary pleasures which never give me that level of satisfaction...U are my tonic!

My heart still yearns for you...

“People do not hurt us, our hopes from them hurt us.”

— Imam Ali (via thoughtkick)

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.
