Life as a daydream

People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.

I don’t know what makes a writer, but it probably isn’t happiness.

All great and precious things are lonely.

“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”

i am kind of just existing, breathing gently, walking lightly, and i am trying so hard, so very, very hard, not to disturb a thing, but i am always too heavy, too present, leaving a trail everywhere i go, and sometimes i just want to be forgotten. these days, i just want to not be seen.

I’ll be honest with you. I’m a little bit of a loner. It’s been a big part of my maturing process to learn to allow people to support me. I tend to be very self-reliant and private. And I have this history of wanting to work things out on my own and protect people from what’s going on with me.

I told him, love is a dirty thing, That cannot be washed away. Everything you do leaves a mark, Even when you’re far away.

You know what turns me on? Effort. Assurance. Show me you care. That you really want me. I’m tired of doubting whether people are coming or going.

She felt happy these days, yet there was always an undercurrent of sadness just below the surface.
