" I've been missing for months. My body is present acting like a human being. Laughing and talking at all the right times, but it isn't me. I'm not there. I'm not sure where I am. I've been searching for months. Staring at myself in the mirror and willing myself to appear. But I don't. I'm not sure where I went or how to get back. No one seems to notice. This clay imitation of me is doing a better impression than I ever could. Does anybody even know me anymore? Why can't they see I'm missing? I've been missing for months. I'm not sure I want to come back. "

I don’t belong here. In this world. I want to go somewhere that is only nature and me. I want to be left alone to hear the rain fall and crickets sing. If only there was a place that still existed where humans lived off nature and took nothing more than they needed. Where life was more simple.

" I think I need a break. Some time for myself and to remember who I am or who I was. Then I can come back and start living again."

I had no illusions about love anymore. It came, it went, it left casualties or it didn’t. People weren’t meant to be together forever, regardless of what the songs say.

This Lullaby (Sarah Dessen)

You asked me how it was possible that I felt everything so deeply, held everything so close, yet kept you at such a distance

Dear Diary, I made it through the day. I must have said "I'm fine, thanks" at least 37 times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks "How are you?", they really don't want an answer.

Vampire Diaries

I don’t want to fall in love anymore, I feel like I’m constantly repeating myself; telling people my favourite songs, showing them my favourite movies and TV shows, my favourite colour, places I like to visit, just everything. And I’m tired of repeating myself, I don’t have the energy anymore. I want someone who already knows that a particular song is my favourite because it makes me cry happy tears, I want someone who knows that this movie is my favourite, because one of my earliest memories was watching it as a kid, when we were still a family. I don’t want to give people parts of me only for them to become a stranger again, It’s not fair. I’m tired

I guess that’s the point of it all. No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.

13 Reasons Why (via wordsnquotes)

She was so much better at being alone; being alone came more naturally to her. She led a life of deliberate solitude, and if occasional loneliness crept in, she knew how to work her way out… Or even better, how to sink in and absorb its particular comforts.

Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, The Nest (via wordsnquotes)

Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

It's sad that I am so hung up on you that if you showed up on my porch with nothing, but a smile; I would forgive you of everything. It's been years. Sometimes I'm mad for thinking so low of myself to have waited this long. Your busy loving another girl and I'm still hoping for you to be here one day. How pathetic.

What happens if I met the love of my life already and I told him to fuck off?

Almost. It’s a big word for me. I feel it everywhere. Almost home. Almost happy. Almost changed. Almost, but not quite…Soon, maybe.

Joan Bauer, Almost Home (via wordsnquotes)

She was too tired to feel anything more, she wanted a book to do to her what books did: take away the world, slide it aside for a little bit, and let her please, please just be somewhere and somebody else.

Lev Grossman, The Magician’s Land (via wordsnquotes)

She fell in love with the stars just like any person would fall in love with a place, a person, or a memory. The stars were steady each day, night, and season. She knew where to find every constellation at night. I think that’s part of the reason she was in love with them. They were the one constant thing in her life. The one thing she could count on.
