The Bookish Koontz

i hate how sometimes i can’t find the right words to describe what’s going on in my mind.

You will get yourself back together. You will mend your little pieces. You will find yourself happy again. Don't give up on that, don't give up on you.

it’s so attractive when someone shows they care

Going to a library with someone you love and sitting in a corner with your head propped up on their shoulder while you both are reading books in peace and calm is the most intimately wholesome thing ever.

Don't wait until you lose weight so you can buy yourself some pretty clothes. You should wear beautiful clothes that fit you, instead of struggling with your own body to fit into them. Don't deprive yourself of something that will make you feel good because you aren't "thin enough" to "deserve it". You deserve good things as you are now.

forgive yourself. forgive yourself for all the versions you couldn't become. forgive yourself for the wrong things you said. forgive yourself for not knowing any better at certain point of your life. for fucking things up so much that the grief still haunts you. forgive yourself for the darker and shadowed parts of you. you have to learn to integrate all parts of you, even the ones you desperately want to disown. it'll be alright.
