"Stop trying to ‘get it together’. The biggest lie we’re told when we’re growing up is that soon as we’re adults, as soon as we’re in college, finish college, get that job, have that steady income, find that someone special, ‘find ourselves’, find that perfect house, get that retirement fund, have those children, everything will fall into place. Here’s a secret: it won’t. Every new development in your life, good or bad, big or small, will come with its own very special set of challenges. The sooner you accept that, the better off you’ll be."

Salsa

dearoldlove:

I was the salsa to your nachos, but she was the cheese, and everyone prefers cheese to salsa.

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it’s you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Handful

dearoldlove:

I fully accept that now you are nothing more to me than a first love & a handful of memories.

Ignoring Pleasure

dearoldlove:

I want you to text me just so that I can get the pleasure of ignoring you for a change. But you won’t even give me that. 

Occasional Star

dearoldlove:

I still think of you sometimes, and you occasionally star in my dreams. But even in my dreams, I never choose you.

"I am interested in language because it wounds or seduces me."
