“I am hopelessly in love with a memory. An echo from another time, another place.”

age 11: worry about internet people finding me in real life

My desires in a relationship have changed over time. I no longer want someone who promises to always love me and never leave me, I need someone who understands that life happens and sometimes things don’t work out. I don’t want someone who sugar coats things and never gets angry with me, I need someone to tell me how it really is and put me in my place. I need to be able to go five hours without talking to you and not feel lost or incomplete. I am complete without you. But with you, I want to be so much better. I want to be stronger with you. I want us to grow together and help each other grow individually. I don’t need you, but I really fucking want you. And this may not work out, but the fact that you understand all of this and this how our relationship works, makes me think we’ve got a pretty good shot.

People only tell lies when there is something they are terribly frightened of losing.

Love yourself enough to never lower your standards for anyone.

Dear God: help me break away from the things that are breaking me.
