so she tells me to write
her name is melinda.
i think i could learn to like her… maybe even trust her. she draws an illustration about the cycle of how we work. events lead to thoughts and interpretations; thoughts and interpretations lead to feelings; feelings lead to actions; actions lead to events.
i’m supposed to keep track of my feelings and then pay attention to the thoughts and interpretations that...

I can only love you, to the extent that I love myself. I can only forgive you, to the extent that I am able to forgive myself.

the cost of love
sometimes i wonder if i’m a glutton for pain.
no, this isn’t some pessimistic, pity-party post. just hear me out… i sometimes wonder if we get so comfortable with our lives, that we become afraid to reach out and experience something new, different… better.
there are many things i have realized over the last few days, weeks, even months, that have changed who i am and how i interact with the...

let's lose the words - let's find the meaning
I don’t know that I can put this in to words, but I’ll try. I think everyone craves relationships. We crave intimacy. We crave to be understood. I don’t know that we truly know how much we desire these things until we have had a brush with them, a taste of them. I can go days, weeks, months, without having an actual conversation with someone. I can often go just as long without truly...

your elusiveness makes me curious
i wonder what you’re thinking, what you’re wondering, what you want to say that you’re holding back, what you mean with what you do say, what you wish for and dream about and have faith in and desire, what your passions are, what you want with your life, what you want with me…

dissapointed. that's the word i was looking for.
you ever have a time when you feel something, but can’t find the right word to describe it?
that is not me in this instance. and it sucks.

baring my bones
havent-got-a-prayer:
It is scary to feel vulnerable, to feel naked and exposed. But sometimes it is necessary to bare your bones in order to grow. At least this is the case for me. I don’t always want to be as honest as I am on this tumblr. I will not lie; I fear what other people may turn it into or take advantage of. I fear that someone from my old life may happen across this page and know...

sometimes i find myself at a crossroads. i often want nothing more than to have someone right beside me, taking in every word i say, prodding gently to help me open up. i also want to walk away from everyone and everything i’ve ever know; i want to move away, or hide away, or go away - period.
i think it’s in those moments that i have the biggest chance to grow. it’s scary,...

confession number... whatever.
soiledteenagedgirlfriend:
i wish just once someone would see me and think, “my god, there she is. and she’s perfect.”
what you don’t realize is that there are people thinking that every day… they’re just not brave enough to say it to your face.

The tribute to the nice guys.
littlemiss:
This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring...

The tribute to the nice girls.
littlemiss:
By Jessica Leigh Griffith This is my tribute to the nice girls. To the nice girls who are overlooked, who become friends and nothing more, who spend hours fixating upon their looks and their personalities and their actions because it must be they that are doing something wrong. This is for the girls who don’t give it up on the first date, who don’t want to play mind games, who provide...

what no one tells you
sometimes love isn’t easy. sometimes it has conflicts and pain. sometimes being in love means feeling every other emotion besides love. but living through all of it and still being strong is what makes love real.

havent-got-a-prayer:
“I’ve done things you should never know about,” I had said with eyes turned to the ground. I wasn’t talking about the drugs. She was a junkie too, so she knew all too well of my routines. Still, she knew what I was talking about. It was shame that pulled these sentences from my mouth.
“It’s okay. I understand. And you know that I’m guilty of the same things. You have...

Tomorrow.
havent-got-a-prayer:
In one of those tumblr chats, an idea was born. Stranger Tuesday, we called it. The concept is simple; take a picture of a stranger or with a stranger and post it on your tumblr. And who knows, you might even have some interesting conversations. Please reblog this and help spread the word.
