Striving Soul

"I pray my daughter is stronger than me. I pray she doesn’t accept things i’ve accepted. i pray she knows when to fight for something/someone and when to walk away. I pray she never feels abandoned, unloved, and unappreciated. I pray she knows her worth."

You can try your hardest. You can do everything and say everything, but sometimes people just aren’t worth trying over anymore; they aren’t worth worrying about. It’s important to know when to let go of someone who only brings you down.

show me your outfit before you go out is my love language

a half-remembered dream comes back to life the minute i hear your voice. it transports me to an easier era, when we would laugh like carefree children, lost in playful imagination. while it stings to return to the sweetness of youth, i swell with joy to know that we happened at all. for a brief moment, we were real.

the torturous distance between you and i was nothing compared to the distance i conquered to be reunited with myself.
