“ One of the cruellest things you can do to another person is pretend you care about them more than you really do.

“
for women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough. we insist each day wrap it’s knuckles through our heart strings and pull. the lows. the joy. the poetry. we dance at the edge of a cliff, you have fallen off. so it goes. you will climb up again.
you rare girl, once again, you have a body that belongs to no lover, to no father, belongs to no one but you. wear your sorrow like the lines on your palm. like a shawl to keep you warm at night. don’t mourn the love that is lost to you now. it is a book of poems whose meters worked their way into your pulse. even if it has slipped from your hands, it will stay in your body.
you loved a man who treated you like absinthe, half poison and half god. he tried to sweeten you, to water you down. so you left. and now you have your heart all to yourself again. a heart like a stone cottage. heart like a lover’s diary. hope like an ocean.

“ You are tired,
(I think)
And so am I.
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.
Come with me, then,
And we’ll leave it far and far away—
(Only you and I, understand!)
e.e cummings, from you are tired (i think)

“ I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.

Maybe my love could fly over the ocean; maybe my heart should try to leave him alone. All that I really know is that he’s goin’ too far from Texas, too close to home
“Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don’t have a choice, but I’d still choose you
Oh I don’t love you but I always will ”
“Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don’t have a choice, but I’d still choose you
Oh I don’t love you but I always will ”
“ You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.
