Nothing More Powerful Than A Girl With A Monologue Going On In Her Head All The Time... Alone In Her

the point of relationships of any kind is not for them to last forever. relationships aren’t a “failure” because they ended. it doesn’t mean the love was not enough!!! on the contrary!!!! it means the love was enough for you to know when to let go and set the other person free. it means you’re humble enough to understand when something isn’t working, when it is no longer healthy or functional. there is love in that. there is love in recognizing that the memories will remain and so will the lessons.

a new lesson i’m learning lately is how to preserve and maintain my inner peace, to remain calm, to remain relaxed, to exhibit more patience and understanding. mainly while being in environments and surrounded by people who intentionally or unintentionally, will try to disrupt it.

“Don’t be afraid to suffer—take your heaviness / and give it back to the earth’s own weight; / the mountains are heavy, the oceans are heavy.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Poetry of Rilke; “Sonnets to Orpheus”

I think, therefore I am (exhausted)

Aren’t you gay?

I like how this implies I did something heterosexual. If so, I apologize.

me @ me: no offence but literally what the fuck are you doing

I think real maturity starts when u decide other people’s actions, words, and opinions no longer have an effect on your individual journey. This life you build is about you, for you, from you.
