“I love you. I love who we are together. I love who I think we might be. I’ll screw up. So will you, you’re not perfect. We’ll hurt each other, and make each other laugh. We’ll make love and we’ll fight. I want us to promise to try not to let each other go. Trying’s all we can do.”— Nora Roberts (via fairytales-and-pixiedust)
“i quit smoking in a day and
i terrified her.
i asked her why.
she said:
because. a person that
can quit smoking in a day,
can leave behind anything
and not look back.
what she meant was,
i could leave behind
anyone.”- “habits”, hafsa atique
“My mom says I cling on to things that I like. Things that I care about. Things that I’m used to. Because I like familiarity. Familiar songs. Familiar movies. Familiar people. Familiar life. I like my comfort zone. It’s comfortable. And sometimes I like certain people. Because I know them well. Because they’re comfortable. Because they’re familiar. So if I cling on to you, it’s because you mean a lot. It’s because I like you. It’s because I need you. It’s because without you, I’m not sure where I’d be, if I’d even “be” at all.”— 10:00pm thoughts// but if it’s too much, I can let go with time (via digressing-paths)
“you are so good at caring for others and keeping all your wounds covered. you are so good at drowning quietly, you’ve made it into an art. you are so good and you’re falling apart.”
almost terrifying the things i will do to be touched. go back to the wrong person just to be close to another sleeping body. kiss all my friends. walk three hours through gale force winds just for the chance to have fingers knotted in my hair. and then not even sexually: asking people to hug me. resting a single finger against someone’s knee. running towards someone with open arms and hoping they are able to catch me.
“Sometimes I think I have felt everything I’m ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I’m not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I’ve already felt.”— Her (2013)

I went to the beach with my 1957 Kodak Pony IV and all my photos came back super hazy and old-looking.
It is okay if you want to pretend I took these is 1957
you deserve someone who looks at you at the same way you look at pink morning skies
