I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love. I am still so naive; I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don't ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?
Life changes. You lose love.
You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the
when mitski said "to love is the best thing I ever did in my life" and warsan shire said "to love and lose and still be kind" yet mahmoud darwish said "as if i havent found anything to kill myself with, so i loved you"
Don’t let this world turn your heart cold does not mean remain gullible. Softness does not have to mean naive. You can be soft and swift. You can be soft and hold discernment close to your chest. You can be full of soft love to give and be mindful of who you give it to.
The more protective of your heart & energy you are — firmer are the boundaries you uphold. Protective is something you become to preserve what is valuable to you. We protect precious things & people. If you’re giving everyone access, you must not truly understand your value.
This is your loving reminder that a soft heart flourishes when met with soft love. Just because you can handle tough love doesn’t mean you should. The one whose love language isn’t physical touch is sometimes the one who needs it most. Love from the right person will soften you.
the number of hours we have together is actually not so large. please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.
