She’s an over thinker, so fuck her until her brain shuts off.
I am a dog who smiles out of nervousness. Whose tail wags out of submission rather than aggression. My jowls are pinched tight, eyes squinted, ears flattened. I look up to you with the intent to deesculate the situation but will have you by your throat if you dare try to scruff me. I am a dog who smiles out of nervousness. Please do not hurt me. I don't want to fight.

"i love you on purpose" "its rotten work? not to me, not if its you" "if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more" "you can say anything and i will not abandon you" "i love you like breathing" "i'll be patient for you" "it's always been you" "i'll take your hand hoping you stain mine" "i dont think we were ever strangers" "you're half of my soul, as the poets say" "i don't love you despite, i love you because"
"I know girls who spill I'm sorry's from their mouths like they pump blood to their veins. Sometimes, I am one. I know girls who apologize for asking to go to the bathroom in class, who apologize for everything because they feel like they are taking up more than their fair share of space on this planet. Everything starts with an I'm sorry and ends with one too, constant bookends that we don't even notice anymore. We delete her apology the way we delete likes and ums from speech. I know girls with ten times more apologies than misdemeanours and I wonder how often they hear It's okay. You're more than okay."

“It takes courage to live softly - to move slow, to be gentle, to not rush to judgment, to take your time, to speak unhurriedly, to fully listen to someone without being so readied to interrupt and speak, to not force or hustle, or to stay connected to your life force and deeper wellspring of creativity. It takes fearlessness to feel worthy of not constantly taking in new information. It takes an act of bravery to de to feel safe to just be.”
