"I will always want myself. Always. Darling, I wrote myself a love poem two nights ago. I don’t know where you get this from but I am whole; woman who grows flowers between her teeth. I tend to my garden. I dance myself out of pain. You think women like me crawl for pity? You ever seen the offspring of a lion eat grass? This wanting of myself gets stronger with age. I host myself to myself. I am whole."

ooh i still can’t write or hardly think about some things in my life and i hate it. this is why i’m a soft person. i am choosing to be soft. i just want to let it go but it’s in there somewhere and i don’t want to look at it.

"Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world."

Confront one of your fears today. Write about the experience.

(via wethinkwedream)

"I want to talk
about what happened
without mentioning
how much it hurt.
There has to be a way.
To care for the wounds
without reopening them.
To name the pain
without inviting it back
into me."

Getting to love somebody is a gift. The entire world is giving you a gift every second that you love somebody. The joy of love is a gift. The pain of love is a gift. The comfort of love is a gift. It’s all an overwhelming gift.

a secure idea of who I am."
