My Top Quotes
- The hurting
she was a rose in the hands of those who had no intention of keeping her
trying to convince myself i am allowed to take up space is like writing with my left hand when i was born to use my right
i can’t tell if my mother is terrified or in love with my father it all looks the same
- The loving
i struggle so deeply to understand how someone can pour their entire soul blood and energy into someone without wanting anything in return
you are the faint line between faith and blindly waiting
i’d be lying if i said you make me speechless the truth is you make my tongue so weak it forgets what language to speak in
- The breaking
it means nothing to me if he loves you if he can’t do a single wretched thing about it
i left because the longer i stayed the less i loved myself
I can see a cringe post with this quote
i am a museum full of art but you had your eyes shut
you treat them like they have a heart like yours but not everyone can be as soft and as tender
you don’t see the person they are you see the person they have the potential to be
you give and give till they pull everything out of you and leave you empty
i don’t know why i split myself open for others knowing sewing myself up hurts this much afterward
i am losing parts of you like i lose eyelashes unknowingly and everywhere
- The healing
do not bother holding on to that thing that does not want you
it is a part of the human experience to feel pain do not be afraid open yourself to it
how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you
