“I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.”

— Michelle K., I Know I Deserve More. (via sadlittlewords)

The aesthetic

Victorian architecture, dark wood, knit scarves, hardcover books, oil paintings, vintage sheet music, dusty chandeliers, dark poetry, large libraries,  antique bookstores, intense eye contact, lipstick marks on cups of coffee, trench coats, running through the rain.
