You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

I’m not sad, but the boys who are looking for sad girls always find me. I’m not a girl anymore and I’m not sad anymore. You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn't he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.

Light attracts light. But sometimes your light attracts moths and your warmth attracts parasites. Protect your space and energy

I tend to the wound so often, it never heals.

Make love like you have no secrets like you've never been left never been hurt like the world don't owe you a single wretched thing.

My name is indigenous to my country, it is not easy to pronounce, it takes effort to say correctly and I am absolutely in love with the sound of it and its meaning. Also, it's not the kind of name you baby, slip into sweet talk mid sentence, late night phone conversation, whisper into the receiver kind of name, so, of that I am glad.

My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude.
