* scion of thunder

Falling in love with a god is not a death sentence. The story is only a tragedy if the god loves you back.

                        I kneel into a dream where I                 am good & loved. I am                        good. I am loved. My hands have made some good mistakes. They can always                                                                                make better ones. 

I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here.

The softest hearts always have the toughest shields.

you have always loved too hard, too tight, and with too much of your heart: you cannot help the fact that you feel everything so much.

to love and lose and still be kind.

-Did I ever leave you? -You let me go.

all my grief says the same thing:this isn’t how it’s supposed to be. this isn’t how it’s supposed to be. and the world laughs. holds my hope by the throat. says:but this is how it is

(HOW DID YOU SURVIVE?) they ask. how much did they have you bleed; how long did they make you suffer; how low did they force you down; how dark did they tint your dreams?    —until you had their blood glistening on your teeth;    —until your suffering paled in comparison to their own;    —until it was their throats pinned under your boot;    —until you learned to enjoy the sounds of screams.                                                        (I DIDN’T.) you reply.

Crying is not a sign of weakness. It is strength. To pour yourself out, to put yourself in a position that vulnerable? Only the strong can do that.

Be the love you never received.

Tell me every terrible thing you ever did and let me love you anyway.

we were both created in chaos, we were both born to destroy. you were like death, and i was like war. and where we collided, darling, i loved you.

i swallowed a handful of stars to get over my fear of the sky instead i found myself choking on stardust & shattered dreams.

I’m only quiet because I’m worried that if you push me too far, one day I will open my mouth and I will scream so loudly, it will shatter and break the whole world.
