"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite."

meeting people & growing apart from them & meeting new people & growing apart from them too & meeting other people & eventually growing apart from them as well & on and on and on

Îți amintești de el?

De băiatul care ți-a furat inima cu întreaga lui ființă?

Nici măcar nu știai ce îți plăcea la el, însă te atrăgea așa cum nu o mai făcuse nimeni până atunci.

Mai știi ce culoare aveau ochii lui?

Eu cred că mi-i amintesc ca fiind căprui, dar nu sunt sigură; poate erau negri.

De buzele lui singur îți amintești.

Le-ai sărutat de atâtea ori cu atâta ardoare încât mă mir că le mai are.

Mai ții minte că avea nasul puțin strâmb?

Știu că nu-ți păsa, doar ți-ai trecut degetele peste el în fiecare seară admirându-i forma.

Țin minte că ai încercat să-i memorezi fiecare trăsătură. Ai reușit?

Dar de momentele în care îți plimbai degetele prin părul lui îți amintești? Ai descoperit că avea și câteva fire albe. L-ai întrebat prin ce trecuse de le căpătase?

Oh și mirosul lui! Îl simțeai chiar și când nu era prin preajmă. Îți amintești?!

Hai că știu că da!

Te bântuie fantoma îmbrățișărilor lui?

Pentru că pe mine da. Uneori simt frigul cum mă înconjoară și nu mă pot încălzi. Poate te gândești la o soluție pentru amândouă.

Îți amintești cum își plimba degetele pe spatele tău?

Atât de ușor și atât de delicat.

Sau mai știi când te-a mângâiat prima dată pe obraz? Mai aveai puțin și te topeai, dacă așa ceva ar fi fost posibil.

Spune-mi, îți amintești?

Pentru că eu da.

Iar dacă eu nu pot uita nici tu nu o vei face.

Don't expect someone to save you(my driving instructor)

Ahh, yes

I need someone to think of me the same way authors describe their characters

and I firmly believe that the moon is the only one that stays with me

I always think about the concept of love letters. Like, someone taking their time and sitting down just to express their love and feelings for you. Someone writing for you and telling you how important you're for them. That's like such a sweet, loving and beautiful gesture.

[oldlifewishes]

I could have told you that love was not what I expected to receive from you

But I would have lied

And you would have known that!

I mean it’s not always about romance and chemistry. Sometimes when we come too close to someone or talk about things that are extremely personal we get attached to people, and in ways we never expected to. It becomes more than just a simple relationship or friendship. You make their problems yours and feel yourself responsible. And one day they drift apart but you keep a part of them with you. It all happens because of the emotions that you felt and the bond that you shared at one point of time. It’s not always about the butterflies but the human connection and empathy; because that too is extremely rare these days. That’s what makes us human.

the holy trinity:

1. “dude” but like romantically

2. “babe” but like platonically

3. “sweetheart” but like rivalry

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
