You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.

Thank you for loving me when I still tasted of heartache and war.

I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only understand from their level of perception.

And you tried to change, didn’t you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake… You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

I have spent my life begging, overcompensating for myself, contorting myself into something more easily consumed, more palatable, something not me.

Honestly, I don’t have time to hate people who hate me, because I’m too busy loving people who love me.
