beqarari:

I think my resentment towards marriage comes from the way us brown girls are told to perceive it. Its not seen as something beautiful, two souls uniting. Rather a contract. You’re a responsibility of your family, carrying their honour and one day you will be handed to another man and his family and then you will be his responsibility and carry his honour. Its like you’re chained to men all your life and that’s all you’re worth. This culture suffocates women with its crazy ideals and I don’t want to be a part of it.

"So maybe you’ll call her and you’ll tell her that you miss her and she’ll sound gentle on the phone..."

“So maybe you’ll call her and you’ll tell her that you miss her and she’ll sound gentle on the phone but not in love with you anymore. She’ll say ‘we happened and we were important but you let me go, I’m sorry, but you let me go’ and that’s how you’ll know.””

How do you know you're in love?

You just do. It’s like acknowledging a very deep rooted truth and it’s as simple and as complicated as that.

Fight and Flight by Jessica Therese
50 poems | PDF eBook download

I’m SO excited to announce the release of my first poetry collection titled Fight and Flight, with cover art by the super talented J.R. Traas. Fight and Flight is a digital PDF eBook featuring 50 poems exploring love, heartbreak, growing up, mental health, sexuality, memory, survival and hope.

The link to purchase the collection is here! If you’ve ever enjoyed reading any of my poems or just want to help a girl out, please feel free to share the love and reblog this post - I would appreciate it so much.

These poems in my opinion are like nothing I’ve ever shared online or with anyone else before. I feel extremely vulnerable posting this collection and I hope you like it as much as I do. I know you will find something in here that stays with you.

warmsuggestion:

The person you love is not the same as they were when you first started loving them and they are not the same as they will be when you die. Love must be adaptive. Love must be smart enough and strong enough to survive constant change. Love must not be rigid.

“I do not want to be human. I want to be myself. They think I am a lion, that I will chase them. I will not deny I have lions in me. I am the monster in the wood. I have wonders in my house of sugar. I have parts of myself I do not yet understand.”
