An anonymous request: "for when you love(d) someone, but you know they're better off without you"
“It ends or it doesn’t. That’s what you say. That’s how you get through it. The tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. It ends or it doesn’t. If the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it. If they don’t come back, you sleep in the middle of the bed, learn how to make enough coffee for yourself alone. Adapt. Adjust. It ends or it doesn’t. It ends or it doesn’t. We do not perish.”
Letters from Medea, Salma Deera (via) // Hope You're Well. Please Don't Read This., Lev St. Valentine (via) // It Ends or it Doesn’t, Caitlyn Siehl // Little Weirds, Jenny Slate //Sue Zhao // Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out, Richard Siken // Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, Jeanette Winterson (via) // Beginning with O; “Love Lines”, Olga Broumas (via) // Wax 'N' Wayne, Eileen Myles

"I didn't fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway. And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you"
I just want someone to grab my little face and scream "ON PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE I AM GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU"
Chidi Anagonye : Can I ask you a question? Soulmates aren't... real, are they?
Michael : Chidi, in all honesty, I don't know. But I don't think so.
...
Michael : If soulmates do exist, they're not found, they're made. People meet, they get a good feeling, and then they get to work building a relationship.
