“I feel that it is necessary and ordained that I should be alone, a stranger and an exile in relation to every human circle without exception.”
— Simone Weil, from a journal entry featured in “Waiting for God; The Letters and Notebooks,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
what’s meant for me will find me yes but I also have to meet it halfway and encourage it to happen so it does

It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.
reeeeally been learning a lot about myself lately like oh. my life is actually just beginning
LOVE WILL FIND YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN WHEN YOU THINK IT WON'T
