““You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first - bullshit. I have never loved myself. But you - Oh god, I loved you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like.”

““ I want to inform them that I am not silent because I have nothing to say. I am silent because nobody is listening. ””

“When life sucks, throw yourself into art.”

“I want your hands around my waist, and your touch lighting up stars on my skin. I want you to look at me and tell me that everything’s going to be fine because your voice is the only thing that make me feel like my head isn’t 40 feet underwater. I know you lie to me too often, but I’m a sucker for forgiveness. Trust me, I know I placed my heart in your hand so easily, but the thing is I don’t understand why you melted it in regret, and left to someone else’s bed.”

““When someone shows you how little you mean to them and you keep coming back for more, before you know it you start to mean less to yourself. You are not made up of compartments! You are one whole person! What gets said to you gets said to all of you, ditto what gets done. Being treated like shit is not an amusing game or a transgressive intellectual experiment. It’s something you accept, condone, and learn to believe you deserve. This is so simple. But I tried so hard to make it complicated.””

“When someone truly cares about you, they make an effort not an excuse.”
