When my worldwas nothing but darknessI set my soul on fire.
I lived for so long without you, only dreaming of the concept of you. And, now that I know you, I can’t imagine going back there… to a me that didn’t know your name.
She chose messy, she chose wild. She chose life on her own terms.
I am worth more than these excuses. I am worth more than this inconsistent, unhealthy, disappointing dynamic. I am worthy of finding someone that is never going to allow us to settle into this toxic, distorted version of love.
We can feel damaged and sad and mad and know that it doesn’t make us any less worthy than when we didn’t feel that way.
Sometimes, the emptiness comes to fill the space between my heart and my head. It consumes every thought, every corner of my mind, like demons that can’t be put to bed.
Fear is a fickle friend who will loyally stand by your side as long as you allow it to diminish you.
Not many get to see this side of him. So, if you do, know that you’re lucky.
There is a reasonthat the worldis not black and white,for chaosdemands color.
I promise permanence. I promise persistence. I promise that falling in love was just the beginning for us.
So many questionsbut nothing to say,in this current momentwe are still so farfrom the answers.
Falling in love with you was out of my control, but I do have a say in what happens next. And, I will choose to stay in love with you through everything this life throws at us.
Our biggest moments have happened in silence. In glances and embraces. As though our souls had found rest within each other. As though our hearts were memorizing the feelings and inscribing them in a language no one else could understand.
And you find that sometimes you search to fill a void that doesn’t exist until you venture out far enough to create it.
You don’t have to stop fighting for others, you just have to remember to fight for yourself too.
She was always the first to love, first to encourage, first to forgive…for everyone but herself.
By nature, we want to be liked. We want to be accepted. But, most of the time, we allow our worth to be decided by the people on the sidelines. By people that see snapshots of our life but have no clue what the whole picture looks like.
