Yes, Love Is Work. But Love Must Be Two-sided. We Are Raised To Give Ourselves Until We Are Drained.

unstoppable force (wanting to be the kindest version of myself) vs immovable object (all the anger and hatred I have inside myself)

“I wanna hug you and cry.”

It's just how different suffering can look and feel. You see movies and shows where you see a character in pain but the lens makes it pretty, the suffering is beautiful and then you look at yourself and nothing about your pain is pretty, nothing is worth looking at. So you tell yourself this is not real- that your pain and your agony don't really exist and you're just being dramatic but if you could see what you feel, would you still be so harsh on yourself?

My first heartbreak

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”

— Osho

if youre "career driven" fucking grow up. im hanging out driven. im goofin off driven. im grabbin a bite driven

When Taylor Swift said “everybody wants you everybody wonders what it would be like to love you” and when Hole said “they really want you and I do too” and when Harry Styles said I know I’m not your only but at least I’m one, I heard a little love is better than none”

i don't pay attention to the world ending. it has ended for me many times and began again in the morning.
