“But my heart it is brighter Than all of the many Stars in the sky”
— Edgar Allan Poe, For Annie
β¦if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.
self reminder: you’re still young and you’re not supposed to have your whole life figured out yet. don’t stress. everything will work out.
“live fast, die young. bad girls do it well” I sing as I organize my sock drawer before going to bed at 9:30pm on a Friday night
““Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.””
— William Paul Young, The Shack

I think one of the worst things about being a girl who likes girls is that men always assume you share their male gaze. When I see a pretty girl I’m imagining what it’d be like to hold her hand and kiss her, not hoping a gust of wind blows her skirt up. I don’t plan my outings based on which place has the hottest girls. I don’t find it appropriate to make lewd comments about women. Just because I like girls doesn’t mean I like to disrespect them or prey on them the way you do.
*straight couple*
Girl: “Do you have a condom?”
*lesbian couple*
Girl: “Do you have a hair tie?”
She’s honestly the girl you don’t see coming at first.
She’s the only girl you find yourself wanting to try for.You’ll find yourself remaining soft for her no matter how hard life gets.
Even when you’ve built your strong exterior she’ll be the one who can see right through it.
She knows exactly how to crumble every wall you build.You’ll still find yourself craving her.
Even when she’s a chaotic storm herself.
You find yourself storm chasing into the unknown because she’s the one who makes you feel safe when your mind is raging and confused.
She’ll be your calm.
In her eyes, you’ll find beyond them lies a familiar soul.And that’s why she’s different than every other girl.
I want nothing more than to be able to take her hand and guide her through showing her how to love again.
Just like she taught me to remain open and soft.
Good things do come to good people.
And I believe she’s one of them even if she’s not mine.
