“If you see beauty in something, don’t wait for others to agree.”

i was in the grocery store and saw an onion on the ground and picked it up, absently saying “poor little guy.” behind me a teenage girl started laughing and then stopped and went “aww. i’m sorry for laughing. that’s nice actually.” and the cycle of cruelty is broken for another generation as a young person realizes that it is not embarrassing to have empathy for another thing that was once living, because certainly to be a lone white onion rolling on the ground in a supermarket would be terrifying to anyone
“April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.”
— T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
“The more you have loved and have allowed yourself to suffer because of your love, the more you will be able to let your heart grow wider and deeper.”
— Henri Nouwen
I hope this time the darkness has come to teach me how to look inside myself and find the stars building home in there.
I am so determined to fall more in love with life. intentionally romanticising the walks I am on, the birds chirping, the blooming nature around me, the water in my cup of tea turning from a light peach tone to a dark pink, the poetry I write, the things I am learning, my handwriting, dozing off while sitting in front of my window, all of it and more. I have to take a closer look at the little things that make my heart beat faster.
i love small little displays of affection, thumb rubbing when holding hands, small back rubs, running hands through hair?? give me all of it
he will never be too much for me. i want him to hug me until the last possible second, i want him to tell me how happy i make him every five minutes, i want him to tell as many people as he can about me, i want him to text me and tell me how much he misses me two minutes after i leave, i want him to send me songs and tumblr posts that remind him of me, i want him to tell me about his day, i want to listen to him infodump, i want to just listen to him. i will never tell him that he is too much because he isn’t. he’s my boy and i want everyone to know it.
everything would be better for me if i could just cuddle and kiss a guy while listening to music w him i think
please honey, let me run my hands through your hair and fall asleep in your arms <3
hi (with the intention of falling in love and spending our lives together)
this. that is all.
one day we’re going to be in our own apartment together, nestled together on our sofa, you fast asleep on my lap. and then i know i’ll be home

You have zero control over the actions of another person. You can only control how you react and respond. Don't worry yourself over what others think and do, you can't change them. Just as long as you're moving in alignment, and living authentically, things will work out for you. Let people exist as themselves.
