As an artist, I've had to come to terms with thr fact that I will only be a certain thing in a guys mind. I'll either be a Manic Pixie Dream Girl or just someone pretty he wants to sleep with. Possibly both at once, but not for very long. And some days I convince myself this is fine but I'm truly longing for the day where a man just wants to know me. I just want to be wanted and understood.

I do not process things quickly, especially emotions. And this hurt that I have, it's been a month and I still have not processed it fully. Because I'll be fine and then I'm terribly, acutely aware of this black hole in my chest. So heavy and empty and swallowing everything up and never feeling full. And I don't believe it will ever go away. I think some hurt stays an open wound no matter how much time passes.

Sometimes Iโm overwhelmed with the insatiable desire to learn. To know astronomy and geography and language and architecture; to recognize each constellation, planet, and star; to speak and understand all languages, be able to decipher ancient Greek and Latin text; to grow my understanding of how the human body works; study the differences and similarities of each religion; recognize the use for each herb and seed and sapling.
I want to better myself, not for fame or recognition or power. I just want to understand.ย

Gorgeous gorgeous girls read books that completely wreck their entire beings and sob until they forget their own life problems. It's me I'm gorgeous gorgeous girls.

I wish someone could tell me if it's better to say everything that's in your head or to remain silent. Because would my words even matter at this point or is the situation too far gone to ever have hope again
