Which of my feelings are real? Which of the me’s is me? The wild, impulsive, chaotic, energetic, and crazy one? Or the shy, withdrawn, desperate, suicidal, doomed, and tired one? Probably a bit of both, hopefully much that is neither."
DR. Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
Richard Sike
this was the boy i loved. a little bit messy. a little bit ruined. a beautiful disaster.
Michelle Hodkin, The Evolution of Mara Dyer
"if you hear people from my past speak of me. keep in mind they are speaking of a person they don’t even know any more."

some people aren’t loyal to you, they are loyal to their need of you. once their needs change, so does their loyalty."

that’s the scary thing about opening up your heart to someone again because after a couple heartbreaks you learn eventually everyone leaves in your life it’s just a matter of how much time you have with them.
K.L Poems
"i am the one who got so good at burning the bridges before they could burn me and i am also the one who learnt to stay even long after they leave. i am messier than your room and as clean as the mountains."
Kriti. G
there was a time in my life when i was afraid of speaking out my feelings and desires for fear of being abandoned. if i understand this fear and its roots than i am more likely to speak up my mind in the future and avoid frustration.
Laura Livia Grigore
my heart gets sad sometimes. i’m not really sure why. it just starts to ache and my body begins to feel hollow. my mind wanders. i hate feeling like this. i don’t want too. but i can’t help it. my heart just feels heavy.
"I’m the sort of person who likes to undo everything."
Susie Orbach
wow, i've never thought about it like that before. and i never will. i've already forgotten what you said, good bye forever
And I live to love you, boy
Nothing gold can stay
Like love or lemonade
Or sun or summer days
It's all a game to me anyway
Lana Del Rey - To Watch Boys
"a lot of you cared, just not enough."
Jay Ashe
•putting their hand on your back to lead you • paying for you • saying “no” in a stern but caring voice • opening doors or boxes for you • giving you reasonable instructions • ordering the food for you • telling you “come here” and/or pointing to the ground in front of them where they want you • fixing up your outfit/appearance (such as buttoning up your shirt or fixing your hair) • lifting your chin up • saying “look at me”
there was something so beautifully mysterious in her eyes. how they would continue to shine after everything she had been through.

"you can be slobbering in your sleep, be having your period, sweaty in summer or unshaved and unshowered … i will always lick and fuck you - because you are my little princess."
“i wanted it so badly,” i say, “i wanted it to be us. you were chemistry. you were passion. you were a miracle. you were magic-until you were an illusion. you became an act.” "
Stories I’ll tell one day #123 by Ming D. Liu
"the kind of man that views your body as dirty because it has been loved by others before him, is the kind of man that reduces your infinite potential, your immense spirit, every incredible quality you have to be defined alone by the men who have come before him. your experiences, your contributions to the universe and your existence mean galaxies more than that. and you have fought too many wars within yourself and conquered far too many dragons alone to allow a man to reduce your infinite soul into the number of people you have slept with."
Nikita Gill
"It’s sad isn’t it? I once thought worlds of you
and now you’re just another lesson."
Taplin • T h e L e s s o n
The naked female body is treated so weirdly in society. it’s like people are constantly begging to see it, but once they do, someone’s a hoe."
Lena Horne
a woman should be able to kiss a man beautifully and romantically without any desire to be either his wife or his mistress.
F Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and the Damned
"We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy."
Pema Chödrön
for awhile this was enough. then it was never enough.
Paisley Rekdal, from The Invention of the Kaleidoscope; “An Accident of Light”
THE LESS YOU KNOW THE BETTER.
People love you until they don’t need you anymore.
It ain’t love then.
Seeing someone slowly lose interest in you is probably one of the worst things ever
women don’t fucking like being compared to one another. stop doing that shit
"i was put in an awkward situation and i reacted poorly."

used to be one of the rotten ones and i liked you for that.
And never think before you make your next turn.
Im scared to let him in, I want to relax but I know when I do i'll want to spend every fucking second with this guy then he'll end up resenting me and I will be too caught up pretending not to care to even realise he's gone.

Mary Oliver, West Wind: Poems and Prose Poems
OR DID YOU NEVER WANT TO BE ALONE?
YOU ARE MY PEACH
YOU ARE MY PLUM
YOU ARE MY MOON
YOU ARE MY SUN
i am awful. i am heartless. i am scared that these things are actually true.
John Green and David Levithan, Will Grayson, Will Grayson
"The one thing I know for sure is that feelings are rarely mutual, so when they are, drop everything, forget belongings and expectations, forget the games, the two days between texts, the hard to gets because this is it, this is what the entire world is after and you’ve stumbled upon it by chance, by accident - so take a deep breath, take a step forward, now run, collide like planets in the system of a dying sun, embrace each other with both arms and let all the rules, the opinions and common sense crash down around you. Because this is love kid, and it’s all yours. Believe me, you’re in for one hell of a ride, after all - this is the one thing I know for sure. "
Beau Taplin
"i think love is a hard word to define… you can love a lot of things about a person and still not love the whole person."
Colleen Hoover, Confess
"stay close to what makes you feel good.
if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t."
i became good at pretending. i became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. and sometimes, when i did a really good job of pretending, i even fooled myself.
Sepetys, Salt to the Selt to the Sea
"we are the playthings of time and accident;"
Octavio Paz, The Double Flame: Love and Eroticism
“I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons, our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever. Your leg, my leg, your arm, my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.”
Charles Bukowski
why can’t i try on different lives….to see which fits best?"
Sylvia Plath
that tiny hope in my head is slowly dying out. I don’t get that sickness feeling anymore.
"i’m not mad at you for not giving a shit. i’m disgusted with myself for thinking you did."
"it is June. i am tired of being brave."
The Truth the Dead Know, Anne Sexton

Kurt Vonnegut
"The casualties our tongues have caused.. "
SHADYOMBRE
"When you meet someone, you don’t expect them to make an impact on your life. You don’t expect them to replace your best friend and become the only person you trust. You expect them to be a person you just so happened to shake hands with or say hello to. You don’t expect that person to become your entire world. "
FUZYSCKS
Sometimes your mistake was putting too much trust in somebody. You should have known better.
Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them.
Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
honestly the best feeling ever is realising you’re not sad anymore over something you thought you would never get over

I'm actually extremely grateful that some things didn't work out the way I once wanted them to.
