maybe there had been a day at school when they had taught how to accept compliments graciously and how to be confident, rather than constantly vacillating between crushing self-doubt and grandiosity.

i was always in someone else’s world, and i always knew it. this, i’ve learned, is a far more common feeling than i once imagined.

know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

because their brains would sooner embrace magic than deal with feelings of fear and abandonment and guilt.

i don't find you boring. only the things you choose to talk about, and the way in which you talk about them.

i wanted to be better when you saw me again. and i thought i could be, somehow. but i'm not. and even if i did get better, the best i could ever be is still just some other version of me.
