you’re not selfish for wanting to be treated well

“Apologies to a 15 year old me I’m sorry I’ve dyed and cut and permanently straightened your hair so much- it was better the way it was and now it will never be the same. I’m sorry I quit gymnastics- I know you loved it. And soccer and track and tennis and skiing and the piano. I’m so, so sorry- I was lazy. But you don’t regret it as much as you thought you would. I’m sorry I didn’t use more of that cream on your scar or maybe I’m sorry I used as much as I did- because now, 10 years later, you’re still not comfortable with it and it puts a strain on a lot of your relationships. But know that you’ve grown to accept that it’s part of who you are and there is no you without that scar. I’m sorry I hurt that boy you cared about so much once you finally got him. You’ll know who I’m talking about in three years. That is something I didn’t mean, that was a mistake. On the topic of boys, I’m sorry I’ve done more with boys you would never have even wanted me to talk to. But you’ll understand what it’s like to not use your brain. It’ll take a few years though because you always use yours now and you won’t actually start drinking until junior year of college. But one day in 2009 and then again in 2011 and 2016, you’ll understand what it’s like to fall so quickly for someone you shouldn’t. I’m sorry that I didn’t live up to everything you and everyone else knew I could be. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to buy dad a car yet and I didn’t get into Harvard Law and I don’t have a secret modeling career on the side. I’m also sorry that everyone else led you to believe you could do anything in the world and be amazing at it because sometimes that’s just not possible and it has nothing to do with you or how amazing you are. I’m sorry you eventually forget most of your languages and stop trying to learn them but you pick up a little bit of a few new ones and you eventually make it out of the country. And sorry, but you hate it. Lastly, I’m sorry your current crush gets married in college (not to you) and I’m sorry your next crush won’t give you the time of day and I’m sorry your amazing SAT scores still weren’t enough for Columbia and I’m sorry that I didn’t try in high school because maybe if I did, they would have been. And I’m sorry you lose touch with your current best friends but it’s okay, really. And I’m sorry, but no, the boys in high school don’t ever give you the attention you for some reason want but they’re all fat and bald now and you’re somehow even more pretty. And I know it might not sound like it, but you are so happy right now. You get that sister-like best friend you always wanted, you stay up until 5am laughing your ass off with friends and strangers more times than you can count, you still have abs, you have a job that let’s you afford the most expensive shoes you want, you get more boys than you know what to do with, you graduate from the best college you could have chosen summa cum laude, you have neighbors that show up at your door with wine and ice cream (yes, seriously), you learn so many new games and expressions that you love, Grandma makes it to 100, you still have the coolest uncle around, and it takes 7 more years but you finally get your first puppy. Oh and most of all, you haven’t lost sight of who you are. And you never, ever can. Shine bright, you crazy diamond. I love you and everything you become.”

The best and worst thing that can ever happen to somebody is to fall in love. It’s the best thing in the world, until one day it isn’t. It’s beautiful and makes flowers bloom in your soul, and then one day the flowers die and you’re left an ugly mess. It’s good and then it’s not. I fell in love with you, and I gave you everything. Every part of me - the good, the bad, the pretty, and the ugly. I let you know the parts of me that I hid from even myself. I told you every story of every heartbreak I’d been through, I told you about the moments of my life where I had been happiest. I gave you my whole self, and you took all of it when you left. You were the best thing to ever happen to me, and then one day you were the worst. It’s funny to me, honestly, how one person can be so many things. They can be an angel and a demon, all at the same time. Beautiful and ugly, your life savor and the one who drowned you. Love is so amazing and so heartbreaking, all at once. It’s the rainstorm and the rainbow afterwards.

i was madly in love with you all this time, i thought you love to me because fuck, why else would you accept me? but i guess i was wrong and i guess you know a thing or two about breaking people with a few words. i’m sorry, i know it’s just that i’m not good enough

[touchyburns-blog]

being able to recognise all your flaws, i think, allows me to love you more than if i was just infatuated with the perfect version of you.

I know when we started losing each other - when I missed you even though you were laying right there next to me.
