Do you know how hard I worked for us to have accidental eye contact
Doesn’t matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.
It seemed like you could know me. Like you could understand anything I told you. And the more we spoke, I knew why. The same things excited us. The same things concerned us.
Its scary that one day we’re going to have to live without our mother or father or brother or husband or wife. Or that one day we’re going to have to walk this earth without our best friend by our side, or them without us. Appreciate your loved ones while you can, because none of us are going to be here forever
Sometimes I dislike women, I dislike us all, because of our capacity for not-thinking when it suits us; we choose not to think when we are reaching our for happiness.
Let’s fall in love backwards
Let’s shake hands while crying
Let’s meet the parents on the third date
Let’s tell all our friends we hate each other
so that they’re happy to see us togetherLet’s kiss before we hold hands
Let’s fuck before the movie starts
Let’s sleep while we watch itLet’s end together
Let’s end in 80 years excited for a future
in some other universe
Let’s fall in love backwards,
sideways,
and upside down
let’s fall in love
Let me fall in love with you
when you don’t think you can be loved
Fall in love with me when all I can see
is a future by myself
Let’s fall in love
2017 is going 2 be a very healing year because it’s going to force us to accept that 2007 was ten years ago not three and i think that’s the root of our collective issues
We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.
Three years later, a new girl sits cross-legged on your bed.
She tastes like a different flavor of bubblegum than you are used to.
She opens up a book that you had to read in high school, and a folded picture of us falls out of chapter three.
Now there are two unfinished stories resting in her lap.
Inevitably, she asks, and you tell her.You say: I dated her a while back.
You don’t say: Sometimes, when I’m holding you, I imagine the smell of her vanilla perfume.You say: She was younger than me.
You don’t say: The sixteen summers in her bones warmed the eighteen winters my skin had weathered.You say: It’s nothing now.
You don’t say: But it was everything then.
1. Contrary to popular belief, waking up early isn’t going to drastically alter your life or effect how you’re feeling. So sleep till noon and relish in the way laying in bed all day makes you feel a little more human.
2. Drinking your coffee ‘black’ doesn’t make you cooler or more sophisticated than the rest of us who load in milk and sugar.
3. Being unimpressed by everything makes you look like a twat. Get excited, be overly passionate about something. Enthusiasm is fun.
4. Hating yourself isn’t romantic.
5. Eat whatever you want. your friend’s a vegan? Awesome. Listen to her talk about how great she feels because of it while you tuck in to some chocolate cake. Tell her you feel just as great.
