fuck, just felt this emotion rn inside of me
- James Baldwin talking about Love
what if, all my life I just end up seeing everyone else fall in love? and wait for mine but it's never been close?
— Carol Rifka Brunt in Tell The Wolves I'm Home
and I'm not gonna share any of it with anyone
i want romance. i want intimacy. i want the 2 am love making. i want consistency, loyalty. i want the random looks of admiration. i want to know you're just for me. i want date nights. i want love so pure and true. i want it because i can return it.
ur early 20s are about being obsessed with kindness and mary oliver and seasonal fruits and recreating comfort foods you ate as a child and learning how to love and crying because you have no choice but to live the life before you and finding god on the bus back from the grocery store
Kurt Vonnegut, from Mother Night; "Chapter Six Hundred & Fourty Three,"
I'm his dream person
I'm his dream person
I'm his dream person
I'm his dream person
You’re someone’s dream person btw.

Sorry to break it to you but you literally have to face your fears and slaughter them. Otherwise you will live a small life that you do not want. You literally have to view your biggest fears and attack them head on. You have to fall into the abyss to find your way out. The easy path does not exist. There is no get out of jail free card. You have to allow yourself to die a spiritual death over and over again in order to reinvent yourself into the person you are actually supposed to be. And you have to be painfully honest with yourself and the people around you. It’s horrible but it’s truly the only way.
