i remember randomly asking people

"where would you go: to the left, where nothing is right or to the right, where nothing is left?"

i wasn't expecting to be so rocked by my best friend's answer "forward".

[ilovesylviaplath]

where do you go: to the right where nothing is left or to the left where nothing is right?

don't ever be ashamed to cry. it does not indicate that you're weak. tears are words that cannot be spoken and since birth they have always been a sign that you are alive. they prove your humanity in the purest and most innocent way possible. do not be ashamed to cry.

Dustsceawung

contemplation of the fact that dust used to be other things - the walls of a city, a book, a great tree. it's the physical remains of the past, the reflection on former civilizations and people and the knowledge that all things will turn to dust. it's an understanding not of what's been lost but of how the past persists in the present. to consider dust, however, is also to consider the work left to do with things that impinge on us. dust is always the ultimate destination

getting approached by a random animal that clearly wants you to pet them. like imagine they see a human like you for the first time in their lives and your aura makes them instinctively trust you and they think "oh yeah, there's love in there".

"For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse.

So collapse.

Crumble.

This is not your destruction.

This is your birth."

every relationship (even the most platonic one) will get naturally "boring" after spending months together. this is when love (?) is put to the test and, if passed, then real love begins. it is not about "the spark" and butterfly effect; that's only the initial phase.

to truly love someone is to love every single day no matter what, it's about walking the same path but not necessarily in the same direction, it's about being there and staying there when the other half is not easy to love and deal with, it's about going together through a crisis and getting out of it more connected that ever, it's about quiet days when you question everything but still go to sleep in the same bed and wake up holding each other, it's about maturity, it's about being able to apologise and compromise.

people tend to quit when it gets difficult. that's not how love works. love is difficult, sometimes painful but so worth the effort in order for having a person that is by your side and always will be.

do you ever normally go through the day and suddenly feel this unreasonable urge to cry that seems impossible to control? i think it's a very important sign from your body that is trying to remind you something. something that your mind has erased in order to defence and protect you. something you haven't mourned correctly. something that doesn't let you feel real happiness.

your body always knows the truth. your body still feels that heaviness, it holds and remembers everything that you head doesn't. deep down you know that something doesn't feel right but you go through every single day trying to run away from it.

don't. let the tears flow, feel that pain, loss, trauma, grief deeply and you will feel free. you will get rid of that painful weight and replace it with something beautiful and special and much more worthy of feeling.

i wanted to belive you when you said you loved me. i really did. but how could you love someone you haven't even truly known? i was scared of not being enough and being too much at the same time. i tried to hide who i really was so you couldn't leave, so you couldn't see how destructive i am. i loved you to my fullest and that wasn't enough. my love is never enough. i destroyed myself to avoid being destroyed by you. i tried so hard to keep you in my life and that what's made you leave. that's what pushed you away. it's a constant battle that's impossible to win for me. i always lose. i either have to mask my real self to be lovable or reveal and expose the monsters inside and end up alone. in both cases i am destroyed. you witnessed these both extremes but nothing between. nothing what's real. i'm not blaming you. i'm blaming myself for the way i love, for who i am. i'm blaming myself for not being able to love healthy and normally.

you know what's adorable and upsetting at the same time? that at the end of the day, no matter what part of globe we are in, we are all together. we are all together lying in our messy beds in our little cozy rooms, caring too much about everything, listening to our stupid comfort songs, hiding from the whole world, waiting for them to text us back, being tired even though we haven't left our bed today, feeling weirdly dirty and uncomfortable in our skin, this strange melancholy and feeling of loneliness doesn't stop, we want to start studying but for some reason we can't. you are not alone i promise and your life will not look like this forever.

how do i explain my relationship with my mother? she is my best friend and my biggest enemy, my biggest supporter and the harshest critic. i need her hugs but i feel uncomfortable every time she does so. i trust her the most but i don't tell her anything. i want to move away from her but i'm not able to live without her. she is the reason of my panic attacks but also the only person who can calm me down. she begs me not to hurt myself but her words hurt to the point i don't see other option. please mom leave me alone. i'm begging you come back.
