Why am I so sad all of the time?

[theverityproject]

You left with a brief nod and an awkward hug.

You drove away just a bit too quickly.

You never once looked back,

at what you left behind.

You left your best friend.

Shaken

Hurt

Unsure of how to proceed.

You left a woman insecure about herself.

Loathing her own inability to make right

something she never did wrong.

You left her heartbroken.

When you left last August you left her

Trust

and unwavering loyalty to you

Without a second glance.

You left her to figure it out on her own

And she did.

She realized that day you weren’t saying goodbye.

You were filing for divorce.

You weren’t stepping back from a friend

You were scorning a lover

One last kiss before slamming the door

and leaving her in the cold.

What you left behind in August

Was your friendship

Your bond

Her love

And yet, you came back.

And you’re trying to find everything left behind.

Just........ don’t leave again

She’s not so good at being alone

Whitney holds such a special place in my heart, I’m really glad Childish Gambino honored her in his new video.

I just wanted to point out how incredibly necessary this is. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t want to hurt the person by being honest, you’ll hurt them so much more in the long run

If you lose interest in someone, tell them. 

If you’re not looking for a relationship, tell the person you’re seeing.

If you’re thinking of ghosting someone, tell them.

If you can’t handle meeting up with someone after all, tell them.

If you’re terrible at responding to messages, tell people.

If you prefer talking in person to texting, tell people. 

If you’re seeing several people at the same time, tell them.

If you’re looking for sex rather than dating, tell the person you’re seeing.

It is not difficult to be a decent and honest, open, communicative human being. Respect those whom you interact with and have relationships with by telling the truth instead of leading them on or being deceitful.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~Rumi

I’m losing the people I love the most. This pain must be an overreaction. Because I can’t think or breathe and my heart hurts. I don’t know if I’m losing him, or if I’m the one letting go. I can’t walk away from my best friend, my soulmate, but I don’t think I can bear to stay around and watch us crumble into nothing.

Women like Tessa Thompson, Janelle Monae and Stephanie Beatriz coming out has meant the WORLD to me! They’re women that I look up to both as artist and as individuals.

I come from a christian home that not only doesn’t accept the LBGTQ community, but has told me that they would kick their child out if they ever found out one of us was gay

For the past four years I have been struggling to accept and have pride in my bisexuality. Only last year did I even gain the confidence to come out to a few trusted friends. I didn’t live in a place or situation where I felt confident enough to attend pride, but I feel like this time next year I’ll be able to.

I’m so incredibly grateful to these woman, and I hope that I get the chance to tell them in person the impact they they’ve had on my life!!! 💙💜💖

I did it!

I followed my dreams and moved to California. I’m content with where my life is headed.

I make no apologies, This is me.

I don’t know if it’s because of all the suicides that have happened lately, but I feel drained 😔

[theverityproject]

I GOT THE JOB!!! You can’t even comprehend how happy I am!

[theverityproject]

Waiting to hear back from this job is making me dizzy with anxiety.

[theverityproject]

Everyone I know is getting married or starting their new jobs and I feel like I’m trapped in a tar pit that I’m never going to get out of. I want to do something with my life and I’m so scared that I’m just going to be stuck watching everyone else pass me by as I fade into nothing.

[theverityproject]

I love waking up with anxiety

Like, you’re thirty minutes into your day, what’s there to panic about?
