“I’d spent so long trying to fit in, trying to be someone I wasn’t, that I had no idea who I was any more.”
— Dorothy Koomson, The Rose Petal Beach
Love's one heck of a thing.

The pain is overwhelming and there's nothing I can do or take to stop it. Cutting myself isn't enough.
Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vanessa Bell written c. August 1908
august 12
on days like this
i want to yell at you
i want to scream at you
push you around
and tell you that past me is hurting
and she’s crying on the ground
the old me is nowhere to be found
all because you picked up that phone
on days like this
i want to wish you misfortune
because for this past year
thats the only thing i got
on days like this
i want to kick and scream and cry
all because you hurt me
you hurt every inch of my body
and my head is now throbbing
with anger
you go on like august 12th is another day
on that calendar of yours
that you cross off
but for me august 12th
is the day i question my sanity
its the day i lost a piece of myself
is there anything i could have done
to change your mind
is there anything i could’ve done
to stop you from saying goodbye
august the 12th is the day i failed
to get closure from you
and august the 12th is the day
i wish i was never alive
Why is it that the people you want to stay wants to leave and the people you want to leave wants to stay?
Dejaré de creer en la bondad del corazón humano hasta que el mismo ser humano me demuestre lo contrario.
I will stop believing in the goodness of the human heart until the same human being proves me otherwise.
I would be whipped if I said them
“You’re so calm and quiet, you never say. But there are things inside you. I see them sometimes, hiding in your eyes.”
— Tracy Chevalier, Girl with a Pearl Earring
… I realized I’m an outsider again
I worked so hard to avoid this feeling
But it seems I always isolate myself with my mistakes
I put to much pressure on myself
and my relationships
leaving me to start over and once again,
be alone
