You ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us. Caring is not synonymous with crazy. Expressing to someone how special they are to you will make you vulnerable. There is no denying that. However, that is nothing to be ashamed of. There is something breathtakingly beautiful in the moments of smaller magic that occur when you strip down and are honest with those who are important to you. Let that girl know that she inspires you. Tell your mother you love her in front of your friends. Express, express, express. Open yourself up, do not harden yourself to the world, and be bold in who, and how you love. There is courage in that.

 I’ll show you what love should really look like,
But make sure to leave before any of it can unfold.

I’m highkey tired of my phone. I want to go on road trips or get lost somewhere. And have wild sex.

Bad news is, you cannot make people like, love, understand, validate, accept or be nice to you. You can’t control them either. Good news is, it doesn’t matter.

You can run, run, run away from a lot of things in life, but you can’t run away from yourself. And the key to happiness is to understand and accept who you are.
