The Worst Is Having A Dream Where Someone Loves You And You Can Practically Feel Them Touching You And

There’s an old poem by Neruda that I’ve always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says “love is so short, forgetting is so long.” It’s a line I’ve related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we’re trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren’t the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren’t really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning. These are moments of newfound hope extreme joy, intense passion, wishful thinking, and in some cases, the unthinkable letdown. And in my mind, every one of these memories looks the same to me. I see all of these moments in bright, burning, red.

beginning to realize that people who hate taylor swift are just as annoying as those who love her and somehow literally nobody is capable of being normal about her

i know you were on my side, even when i was wrong. i love you for giving me your eyes, for staying back and watching me shine. and i didn’t know if you knew, so i’m taking this chance to say: i had the best day with you today. ♡ | happy mother’s day!!

Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Tonight we begin again. Red (my version) is out now.

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

-Vincent Van Gogh

no offence but you think that’s it’s funny when i’m mad mad mad and no one else is gonna love me when i’m mad mad mad. and i never saw you coming. and i wish that i could run to you and everytime i don’t, i almost do. and i bet it never occurred to you that i can’t say hello to you and risk another goodbye. and this is the last time i’m asking you this, put my name at the top of your list. and for the first time i had something to lose. and what do you do when the one who means the most to you is the one who didn’t show? you should’ve been here. you said you’d be here. and i don’t wanna miss you like this, come back, be here. and you broke the sweetest promise that you never should have made. and i wanna know what we would’ve become if you were a better man. and i’m in a new hell everytime you double cross my mind. and you kept me like a secret but i kept you like an oath.

I think the media has sent me a really unfair message over the past couple of years, which is that I’m not allowed to date for excitement, or fun, or new experiences or learning lessons. I’m only allowed to date if it’s for a lasting, multiple-year relationship. Otherwise I’m a, quote, ‘serial dater’. Or, quote, ‘boy crazy’.
