Swiping Right in Myrtle Beach, Erin Slaughter

Miguel Hernández, from The Selected Poems of Miguel Hernandez "Elegy for Ramón Sijé,"

Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. A good life is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure. Btw

Focusing on what’s rooted in reality has reduced so much of my overthinking time. If a friend is already out of my life, there’s no point dissecting our interactions from back when we were friends. If I already broke up w someone, there’s no point thinking about the could-have-beens because they will never happen. If I’m into someone but it wouldn’t work for whatever reason, then it just doesn’t. Something just is or just isn’t. There’s a lesson to take from everything but I also don’t want to use that as a catch-all excuse of getting into the weeds for something when the weeds have already been cut off and it doesn’t even matter anymore

Winter is for listening to the same music you were listening to at 15. Unfortunately

أَلل‍ّٰه‍ُـــــمَّ إني اسألك حسن الخاتمة

O Allah, I ask you for a good ending...

Find Me as the Creature I Am, Emily Jungmin Yoon

You are forever one decision away from an entirely different life.
