I knew you before I met you. I knew your cheeks would be made of sunshine. I knew rays of light would spill from your lips with your every smile. I knew you.

Sometimes you look at me and you ask me what I’m thinking. I smile, and I say “Nothing.” Truly, though, it is something. It’s the most beautiful something I’ve ever known.

so many people have told me
that i need to open up

but not a single person
understands that every time

i pry apart my rib cage,
releasing all of the butterflies

that have been hiding there
for years,

people are too busy swatting
them away

to realize what i have done
for them.

“A good relationship is when two people accept each other’s past, support each other’s present, and love each other enough to encourage each other’s future. So don’t rush love. Find a partner who encourages you to grow, who won’t cling to you, who will let you go out into the world, and trust that you will come back. This is what true love is all about.

“You get depressed because you know that you’re not what you should be.”

“I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you f.ucking like something, like it. That’s what’s wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, “You’re not supposed to like that. That’s not f.ucking cool.” Don’t f.ucking think it’s not cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic”. It is cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic”! Why the f.uck not? F.uck you! That’s who I am, godd.amn it! That whole guilty pleasure thing is full of f.ucking s.hit.”
