fuck your feelings

I hope that we can look back someday and talk about all the things we couldn't say.

Teacher: “So, who’s presenting next?”

““You can’t force love, I realized. It’s there or it isn’t. If it’s not there, you’ve got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.””

“Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling.”

“My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.”

“I’m not interested in competing with anyone. I hope we all make it.”

i hope you love them with their clothes on. i hope they love you when you're late. i hope you love them when they get angry and say everything wrong. i hope they love you when you forget to tell them they're beautiful. i hope you love them when it's hard. i hope they love you when it's harder. i hope you love them when they tell you when it hurts and why it hurts. i hope they love you when you want to make things better, but you don't know how. i hope you love them when they wish they were different. i hope they love you and all the things you want to change. i hope you love them like they love you. and i hope they love you like you love them.

“be kind to the person you are now, even if that person isn’t who you necessarily want to be. you deserve patience and honey during every phase of your metamorphosis.”

an excerpt from my book "when things are not FINE"

Do not, I say Do not settle for a love that doesn’t treasure you.

“apologizing for how you expressed yourself in moments that you recognize you were operating at a low vibration, is awareness. apologizing for how you expressed yourself in moments where you had the right to feel the way you feel in fear of negative reaction, is a trauma response.”
