“Each of us is born brilliant. Then we spend the rest of our lives having our brilliance buried by people, circumstances, and experiences. Eventually, we forget that we ever had genius and special talents, and our brilliance is locked away in a vault deep within. So we settle for who we are, instead of striving for who we were meant to be.”— Simon T. Bailey
“Because when you’re 10, you feel like you’re on top of the world and nothing can take your love away from you. Because when you’re 13, you find yourself hiding the best parts of yourself to fit in with society. Because when you’re 17, your best friends tell you that you don’t deserve happiness and don’t deserve to be alive. Because when you’re 19, you realize that there are little things in life that make you feel like you’re 10 again, like getting breakfast with friends, meeting new people, or even finding a new song. I like to think that, that is the reason why it’s so important to keep going.”

Personality: I DON’T GIVE A FUCK
Anxiety: I do
"
To whoever loves me next,
I’m sorry if I’m afraid of you
or if days of flirting turn to
radio silence, without warning.
I’m sorry if I make you say the words
over and over and over until I believe them.
(I’m sorry if I don’t believe them.)
I will probably spend more time
worrying about losing you than I spend
trying to keep you.
Trouble is,
every single time I’ve ever thought
something was too good to be true–
I’ve been right.
Understand,
I will know how to be vulnerable with you,
but I won’t know how not to regret it.
And I have no idea how deep we’ll be
into this relationship before I admit
I’ve never done this before.
Not really.
Not in any way that counts.
Before I admit that I know
how to put my body inside someone else’s
but not how to make it beautiful.
I probably won’t be easy to love.
Too many people loved me badly,
I’m not sure I know how
to do it right.
