âIf a thing is worth doing, itâs worth doing badly.â //
the fact that i canât paint, or sing, or write haikus, doesnât matter. i can do these things (very poorly) just because i love to.
sometimes, it turns out, itâs fine to half-ass things. even important things. when something is really important, itâs okay to just do it to the best of your ability today. maybe tomorrow it will be better, or even perfect. today itâs just done, and thatâs okay.

I fucking hate texas I hate that abortions are more restricted than the guns that cause preventable mass shootings at schools and churches and Walmart and and and and it just goes on like this⊠itâs âprotect the childrenâ âwhat about the childrenâ until the children are murdered in their elementary school and then it all âthoughts and prayersâ âthereâs nothing we can doâ âdonât bring up gun control now itâs disrespectful to the victimsâ but I bet all 14 children and that 1 teacher would still be alive if we had any sort of gun laws

I can't refuse her, not anything, not now, not ever. But the words that come aren't enough for this. For her. So I speak in a language she doesn't know.
Je t'aime. Aujourd'hui. Ce soir. Demain. Pour toujours. Si je vivais mille ans, je t'appartiendrais pour tous. Si je vivais mille vies, je te ferais mienne dans chacune d'elles.
    I love you. Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever. If I were to live a thousand years, I would belong to you for all of them. If I were to live a thousand lives, I would want to make you mine in each one.
the retribution of mara dyer (mara dyer #3) by michelle hodkin

involuntary* but the point still stands
I'm in love with unvoluntary validation of a relationship. My best friend saying "our spot", my brother saying "our cookie recipe" or my mum saying "our song". Like YES I LOVE YOU TOO. I'm so soft for it.

It was Novemberâ the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate windâsongs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.
