love can not fix you.

“the way I loved you was consuming, and you held every single piece of me in your hands.” — “Being Whole” by Lacey Ramburger

some things are worth keeping ✨

find your people and hold them tight ✨

you are worthy of love 🖤

I always hoped you would just stay 🖤

it’s always worth to find new ways to love 🖤

One day I won’t think about you as much

that you did fall in love, just like the movies and books said you would. that you survived the heartbreak-the one that you swore you'd never recover from. that you met people who changed your life for the better. that you moved out of your hometown and didn't look back. that sometimes you might miss it, just a little. that you didn't grow up to be the theatre star you thought you would. that you finally stepped foot on a plane. that you met people who feel like family, like you've always known them. that you don't believe all the same things you used to, and it's okay. that your favorite color is black instead of purple, now. that you stand up for yourself in ways you never did as a kid. that you dyed your hair that vibrant shade of red, and it suits you. how you have a house full of plants instead of a house full of children. that you still believe in people, even though they've hurt you over and over. that you did the hard things, even when you were certain you couldn't. that your life looks so different than you thought, but you somehow love it more than you could ever imagine. that you're still here. that even on the hard days,

you still want to be.

“You were my impossible thing. The thing that shouldn’t have worked for as long as it did, the thing that felt too much like a fairytale to be reality, the person I loved more than it seemed possible to love another person.

Because of you, I believe almost anything is possible now.”

grief can be so much larger than we realize 🖤

I don’t wish you were here.

I just wish you wanted to be.

It's become clear now that I do have to let us go now, though. Not because I want to. Not because suddenly every feeling I've ever had about you has been erased. But because the pain has become too much to carry anymore. And there's absolutely no hope that you'll ever come back to relieve me of it.

some people are so difficult to forget
