eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay

to put it simply, the right people will get you. you will not have to fight for breadcrumbs of love. you will not have to beg for attention. the right people will love you freely and easily, and will carve out space in their life for you. the right people will check up on you on your bad days & laugh with you on your good. you will find friends who embrace every part of you, and who will push you to grow. someday, any trace of those who hurt you will be filled with warmth from those who never will.

And I do love you. And you are awfully interesting. And I want to protect you from all pains and terrors.

Love is like... peels an orange for you, cleans the dishes for us after we eat a meal that you cooked, stays on the phone with you until you fall asleep, buys you orange juice at 3 in the morning because you want orange juice at 3 in the morning (and so do I), lets you keep my favorite copy of a book that I adored throughout my childhood because that book means so much to me but you mean even more to me, brushes your hair and braids it just how you said your mom would in those happy memories of your youth that you told me about, tells you “I love you” however many times you need to be reminded because I never grow tired of telling you, takes you to my childhood home and we pretend we knew each other all along...

The best thing I can offer him is a safe place. A place where he can be himself. A place where he can feel appreciated. A place where he knows that with me he’s home. It’s what he gives me and it’s what I give him. I can be the embodiment of safety and comfort in this mess of a world. That’s what I’m here for. That’s the love I offer.

we are so obsessed with beauty that we forget that love has nothing to do with beauty. love doesn’t presuppose beauty: love creates it. beauty is a finite thing, love is not. beauty cannot come before love, but love makes anything beautiful.
