“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”
― Warsan Shire

“You were made to be kissed, often and well.”

“If there's a single lesson that life teaches us, it's that wishing doesn't make it so.”

“if
the very
idea
of
standing up
for myself
frightens you
so
damn much
then
