My favorite ladies!
This: “I like a boy but I don’t think he likes me back.” :’(
I’m tearing up. Middle school fucking sucked and liking boys did and still sucks and the suckage of that situation never really goes away.
If I could give young me advice I’d say: “it does get better. You still have to deal with the same shit but you get better at not caring.”
That’s so fucked up and I hate how true it really is.
Is it worth feeling things so strongly and risking your heart a thousand times over or is it better to just shut it off and just stop caring? I’d like to say I just give in and feel everything as much as I can, but sadly the other way is much easier. And that makes me really hate everything. It shouldn’t be a choice between giving a shit and having your heart destroyed or never letting yourself really care about anything.
I think that divinity exists in all of us - it is in our ability to take the reins when life lends us certain opportunities to grow.
It takes a lot to measure up, but I never regret it when I do.
It is far better to take a chance and risk falling than to just sit back and let it pass you by and then lament its loss until you’re left feeling stale.
That’s why the next time I look into your eyes, I will simply appreciate how beautiful they really are and the fact that you are one of kindest people I have ever known.
And maybe, someday, if the opportunity comes, I will tell you how important you are to me.
But until then, I am content to just be.
