Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.
Warsan ShireWhy do you live in your body like you will be given another? As if it were temporary. You starve it, you let anyone touch it, you berate it. Tell it that it should be completely different. You tug at your soft flesh, wish it thinner, wish it gone. You fall in love with those who praise the way it sighs under their hands, but who praises the way it holds up your weight, even when you are falling apart?
Warsan ShireMy favourite people, biggest inspirations and closest friends are all women. Not a coincidence.
Warsan ShireIt's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.
