I did not wake up
one morning and decide
that I was going to
love you as much
as I do today. It just
happened when I least
expected it. One day
I was sitting at my desk
and I was hit with
a realization that you
are everything that I
never thought I would
find in someone.
"I’m addicted to things that will only ever lead to self destruction. That’s okay, it’s worth the..."
“I’m addicted to things that will only ever lead to self destruction. That’s okay, it’s worth the risk and worth the pain. When I say that out loud I am called crazy, seen as a walking sign of danger, as a bomb that is ready to explode at any given moment. But I know that when my time has come that I will be the one in control. That I will be the one who is faced with my own fate, and sometimes knowing that excites me. No one should be afraid of me. I am not an example of what happens to a person when you live your life on the edge. Because I have taken on the edge and the height and trust me, it’s nothing compared to what I have once come against. Pain is not enough sometimes, and I even see it as a way of passing the time by. I’m afraid that one day doing things that most fear won’t be enough, and that maybe it never will be.”

“She spelt
the word love
with her tongue
on the inside
of my mouth
and I swear
for a second
it actually
tasted like
the real thing
too.”

"Stop apologizing to men for not wanting to sit with them, drink with them, dance with them, go home..."
“Stop apologizing to men for not wanting to sit with them, drink with them, dance with them, go home with them. You have not been put on this earth for their pleasure, their entertainment, to help them feel a little less lonely at night. If you do not want someone, are not interested in someone, don’t apologize. You do not have to be forgiven for the sake of someone else’s feelings. All you have to worry about is your own.
If you’re dating someone and they cheat on you with the girl sitting across them from the bar, or anyone for that matter, do not ask their name, why they did it, and if it was worth it. Just leave. Do not swear your revenge, or that you find the one who broke your relationship because the person who broke your trust is sitting right in front of you. The person who ruined what you had is the one who promised that they never would. Do not fixate yourself on what you should have or could have done, but what you will do, which is leave. You gave them a chance and now they can see it walk out the door.
You’re going to make mistakes and that’s inevitable, but what isn’t is making those same mistakes twice. You are supposed to learn from the pain, supposed to take it into your hands, hang it on your wall to remind yourself that you will never let it happen again. It’s hard stopping others from repeating their tragedies, but when it comes to your own, you are in control.
Love as many as you want. Kiss as many as you want. Fuck as many as you want. But when you do these things do it with all of you. Do it because you know it will show you something, help you with something, make sense of things. Never do a task that was assigned by someone else if you are not interested, not comfortable, unwilling. You can do anything you want to do as long as you know that there is only understanding and truth behind it. Never settle, never give in and never do anything that you don’t want to just because you feel bad.
Learn to say no. Learn to fight. Learn the difference between love and lust and learn to love yourself. If you love yourself, when you’re alone, you won’t need the presence of another just to make you feel at ease. You’ll have the power of healing in your very own body. You’re beautiful, remember that, write it down, scream it out loud and never forget. You have the entire world inside of your hands and the only thing you truly need to know to push through these trying times is that you can do anything. Now do it.”

It was 2 a.m. and we
were too tired and too tipsy
to care about the consequences
of what tomorrow may bring
to stop our hands from exploring
each other’s skin. Beneath
the sheets we were invincible
and open to the thought that
this may be the closest thing
to bliss that we may ever feel.
