You know, actually, it's not that I need to be in a relationship for my life to be complete or have meaning. It's that I have been forced to deny myself access to an entire portion of myself in order to survive in this world. I am meant to love and I have an immense capacity for love. It comes very easily to me, but I have never really had an opportunity to experience it fully in a healthy way.
I've had glimpses of it and I know that finding someone who can not only handle how I love, but wants and welcomes it, means I also get to experience myself without restriction. It's the one mask I've never been able to remove in a life filled with masks.
yall ever just wanna cry
I don't know why solitude would be a balm for loneliness, but that is how it always was for me in those days,

STARING AT UNFAMILIAR CEILINGS AND I SHOULD LEAVE CAUSE EVERYBODY HERE IS TRIPPING SOME NEW DRUG EXCEPT FOR ME… CAUSE I DON’T HAVE THE MONEY.
It’s okay if you’re not alright now. Things will be okay soon, and I hope this little reminder helps. ♡

I love using "by the way" as a segue into topics that are completely unrelated to the matters at hand. it isn't remotely by the way, quite a ways out of the way in fact. a little adventure
“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”
