lay me down with the leaves and the moss. rest me by rotting wood with hidden mushrooms and beneath trees as tall as mountains. let the forest eat me alive.
I think sometimes we become blind to the love we so desperately crave when it doesn’t come from the place we want it to.
The love was there, and is there, you just have to look beyond your desired horizon.
i wish and i wish and i wish but it will never make things return to the way they used to be. i can wish all i want, but it will never be enough. i wish for the same thing every time: to be special to someone again. i know i shouldn’t tell you because now it won’t come true, but i think i was doomed anyway.

It’s actually devastating that I feel comfortable in anyone’s house but my own
i live in the memories of the abuse and i truly don’t think i’ll ever get out
Sobbing in public again fml
Love isn’t missed calls and sore wrists
Love isn’t encouraging me to deprive myself of life
Love isn’t making empty promises
Love isn’t making me feel disposable
Love is my boyfriend listening and making me feel heard even when he doesn’t know what to say
Love is my boyfriend being open to communication no matter how difficult the conversation is
Love is my boyfriend rushing to hold me when I cried about missing my mom
Love is napping in the warm Colorado sun together
And love is staying up late to play Halo and eat Pop-Tarts
Love is making me feel loved without having to ask for it
Love is so gentle when you come across the right person
just finished watching honey boy and what the fuck. all i did was cry for the last 30 minutes of that movie. i don’t think i’ve ever watched a movie that horrifically, yet beautifully relatable.
