OK so

I have a mad bad crush on an amazing guy and he’s coming on a plane to visit me and I’m super duper excited

A. Lot. Excited :) :) 

He is seriously the bomb diggity and it’s a month away, anticipation is going to make it the longest month ever.

On my brother and his roommate moving into the house at the end of the month, my sister and I are already here.

Mom: Now that there's going to be all four of you here, we need to establish something.
Mom: No sleepovers at this house.
Kids: .... ....
Me: So... go someplace else, got it.
Mom: No! None anywhere, at any time!!

Both hurt and love are irrational and not completely controllable. Give them that respect, and allow yourself and others to be human.

34 Ideas About Love And Other Facets Of The Human Condition Worth Considering - Troy R.

Find someone who loves you well. Someone who never belittles you. Even in the heat of an argument. Someone who is gentle with you, but does not treat you like you are fragile. Someone who knows what you are capable of, and celebrates those pieces of you. Not someone who is intimidated by your strength. Someone who can call you out for being a brat, but doesn’t make you feel guilty for being flawed. It is not love’s job to punish you. And remember the person you love is just as broken as you are when they fall short. No one is perfect - do not hold them to this standard. Find someone who is patient, forgiving, and apologetic. Someone who practices forgiveness freely and often. Love someone who is humble, kind, and empathetic. Not only with you, but with a beggar on the street, or a stranger in the supermarket. Common courtesy is important. Compassion is important. Kindness is important.
Marry someone who is driven and hardworking. Someone who optimistically supports and uplifts you in regards to your goals. Someone who will do things that do not thrill them, simply to enrich you. Marry someone who is honest. Honest with you, with others, and with themselves. Deceit will benefit no one. You cannot love someone you do not trust. Find someone who willingly shares responsibility. Someone who doesn’t expect you to adhere to silly gender roles. You will be a team in every single sense. Find someone you cherish togetherness with. And someone who understands the importance of alone time. Someone who values your opinion. Someone with a willingness to learn. A person with an open mind. Ignorance is never attractive. Find someone who makes it easy to feel grateful. For everything. Someone who serves you. And someone you want to serve, without reward.

Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times.
Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark. Do not settle for second best. This sort of love is out there. And I hope you have the courage to start over, and try again until you have found it. This love is worth it, baby girl.

I don’t want a lukewarm love. I want it to burn my lips and engulf my soul.

xviii.

i dreamt in black and white once,
built from the smoke and debris
of a storm beneath my scalp.
someone told me that the brain stores
each face it sees, using them as extras
in a cracked reel of time.

last night, i saw a man
i didn’t know. perhaps i picked him up
at a petrol station, or during a midnight
call for company in the aisles of a
supermarket: i wondered if was
still that flicker of a man, or if he
had even existed at all.

today is monday, and tomorrow
morning i will drink coffee and
exist. i will be,
even if for an hour, a minute, spent
tracing claw marks on my palms from
a dream i can’t remember, wondering
if you will ever make an appearance
amongst those faceless ghosts, and
whether i’ll remember you
in the morning.

My calendar was rude enough to remind me
it’s been 43 days since we last touched.
Still, I calculate how long it would take me to walk
2,387 miles and strangely I feel better
(598 hours. And 12 minutes).

Quite possibly one of the laziest weekends of my life. 

No regrets, I love laying in bed, napping and going to market.

when they told me
to not
make homes out of people

i laughed

because who would be foolish enough
to plant the seeds of themselves
in a skin that wasn’t theirs, or in a smile
they didn’t own

but when i turned to show you
there was only quiet

empty space

and my roots
from around your ribcage

I had to unfollow and then refollow a few people because for some reason they just stopped appearing on my dash and that confused me. 

So that’s what that’s about if you got hit with that. 

So. Weird.
