Bad Timing.
As much as the excuse softens the ego,
and make you look at possibilities as letters just not ready to be sent or received,
Timing is the stoic mail man with mail tucked under his arm
with “RETURN TO SENDER” stamped heavily onto envelopes
left sealed by the ghosts of residents who have already moved out.
It’s not his fault they moved out.
It’s not his fault there are invitations left...

where the ocean meets the sand, I

Until you feel your heart begin to harden...”

“So I made a fist
of my heart, hoping
throwing the first punch
would leave me...”

i think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy
because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless
and they don’t want anybody else to feel like that

she said
you will never be let down
by anyone
more than you will be let down
by the one
you love most in the world
it’s how gravity works
it’s why they call it “falling”
it’s why the truth
is harder to tell
every year
you have more
to lose
but you can choose
to bury your past
in the garden
beside the tulips
water it
until it’s so alive
it lets go
and you belong...

andrewgibby:
I’m never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and I’m never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyone’s life
has been hard enough already
it’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like…
“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness.
It took me years to...”

“The trick is to get it before it breaks. And then to nurture it … to protect it...”

Make sure you wear your safety goggles.
Because we direct and expect
We bend, we break, we ache
Our hearts beat, then beaten
Beaten to specs, to dust,
Sentimental is just a nice word for detrimental.
Call me crazy.
These scraps,
These shattered glass that once held full,
These dried wings are what’s left from butterflies long gone.
I’ll try not to ask you to piece them back together,
Or glue them to caterpillars that aren’t...

Glory
is a word
only the heartbroken
know by heart.

do you not need more of me?
Is just this enough?”

– Helen Keller (via givemeajobplease)
in life, nothing is permanent or certain
but I at least want a love that strives for it.
“A healthy relationship is one where two independent people just make a deal that...”
– best version. (omg, this. THIS.)
Here you are: Consciousness. An endless, boundless and limitless energy with infinitely vast potential; experiencing itself in an ending, bounded, and limited body. But your body is not you. It does not define your Being. You are ineffable, beautiful beyond the words you speak. Silence is your language, nature is your home. You are the Universe and an Universe unto your own.
