  • Гретаhas quoted4 years ago
    the love of family

    friends and community

    is just as potent

    as the love

    of a romantic relationship
  • Milicahas quoted2 years ago
    i don’t need fixing

    i will be searching for answers my whole life

    not because i’m a half-formed thing

    but because i’m brilliant enough to keep growing

    everything necessary to live a vivid life

    already exists in me
  • Rumyana Ashkovahas quoted3 years ago
    most of my life has been spent

    with the two of us touching

    skin to skin

    our nights together

    and sometimes our days

    you carried me when my limbs refused to

    when i was so sick i could not move

    not once did you tire of my weight

    not once did you complain

    you’ve witnessed all my dreams

    my sex

    my writing

    my weeping

    every vulnerable act of my life

    has been with you

    the two of us knee-deep in laughter

    and when i’ve been a fool to trust a fool

    made love on top of you

    left for days only to

    return empty-handed

    you always took me back

    when sleep abandoned me

    we lay awake together

    you are the embrace of my life

    my confessional

    my altar

    i went from girl to woman on top of you

    and in the end

    it will be you—old friend

    delivering me to death well rested

    - there is no place more intimate than a bed

    you didn’t lose it

    happiness has always been here

    - you just lost perspective
  • Rumyana Ashkovahas quoted3 years ago
    there is nothing wrong with you

    this is growth

    this is transformation

    protecting yourself

    getting lost in the noise

    figuring it out

    feeling used

    uncared for

    losing hope

    burning out

    this is fear

    this is processing

    this is surviving

    this is being alive

    - journey
  • b6007062530has quoted4 years ago
    anxiety feels like i’m hanging
    off the side of a building
    and my hand is going to
    slip any second
    how can i be so
    cruel to myself
    when i’m doing the best i can
    - be gentle
    list of things to heal your mood:
    1) cry it. walk it. write it. scream it. dance it
    out of your body.
    2) if after all that
  • Daria Darievychhas quoted4 years ago
    you are not alone
    alone would be if
    your heart no longer beat
    and your lungs no longer pulled
    and your breath no longer pushed
    how are you alone if
    an entire community lives in you
    - you have all of you on your side
  • Daria Darievychhas quoted4 years ago
    if the devil hadn’t
    pushed you into a corner
    and forced you to break its neck
    how would you have known
    you were this strong
  • Daria Darievychhas quoted4 years ago
    why escape yourself
    when you are so beautiful
    get closer to your shine
  • b0171162197has quoted4 years ago
    you’re waiting for them
    to make you feel like you’re enough
    you’ll be waiting a long time
  • b0171162197has quoted4 years ago
    it’s no wonder
    i don’t feel alive
    i’m not living
    in the only moment that’s real
    - present
