Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you’re perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life Book
(via wordsnquotes)

Do you ever,
Hear a song,
And remember me?
This happened to me,
Just one time.
And you know what I did?
I put it on repeat.

Don’t let yourself feel worthless: often through life you will really be at your worst when you seem to think best of yourself; and don’t worry about losing your personality, as you persist in calling it: at fifteen you had the radiance of early morning, at twenty you will begin to have the melancholy brilliance of the moon, and when you are my age you will give out, as I do, the genial golden warmth of 4 p.m.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)

Some words for my exes:
C. W.
I broke your heart,
and didn’t really think twice about it.
I’m so sorry.
V. R.
“There’s a reason everyone leaves you,
there’s a reason you have no one in your life.”
You were projecting yourself onto me.
I believed it.
Still kinda do.
T. M.
I guess I’m still at a loss for words.
K. C.
You said I was your person
Little did I know,
so was she.
You needed a blanket,
but we weren’t some sort of fabric.
C. C.
You were able to
unravel
every inch
of my
being
and then
leave
without even worrying
about stitching me back up.

It’s okay
I’ll look away instead
of looking into your eyes
I’ll bite my nails
so that I don’t hold your hand
I’ll only ever say
I love you
in my head
I’ll learn how to call you a friend
I won’t
kiss you
when you give me that smile
the one that’s just for me
I’ll just look away
and think about
all the times you said
we’d never end up this way
Just Friends (via veincold)

Currently,
in need of a glass of whiskey, to make out until my tongue hurts, to shower for three days straight, and then disappear in the woods for a long, long time.
