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.
Warsan ShireYou are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.
Warsan ShireMake 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.
Warsan ShirePerhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.
