I want simple, wonderful things so badly. Making a mess of the kitchen with people I love. Summer wind on my skin. Cuddles. Laughter from my windows spilling out onto the street. Flea market furniture. Kisses. Art covered walls. Silly themed parties. Giant bowls of soup.
I promise you, the right person will never intentionally hurt you and will make you realize you were never wrong for wanting more affection, appreciation, and effort.
Make sure you can recognize the difference between a challenge that your soul needed you to go through and one that you created by your resistance to change.
my therapist really got me by the throat when she said “there are certain things that no amount of understanding them will make you feel better about them”
