they told me my job description but i think i’ve got it wrong. they said i was supposed to man the lighthouse and save lost ships from going down. but every time i saw the ships i forgot about the light. i dove headfirst into the sea and swam to save their life.   i drowned us both in the process; the ships never found the shore. i ended up helping less when i meant to be helping more.   i think when they told me to save people with my light, i mistook their words and tried to save people with my life.   i know i should have turned the light on, i know i should have taken their advice, but i don’t know what love is if it is not sacrifice.

my biggest fear is that we were meant to be. what if we were wrong, and we missed out on all the ways we were supposed to love each other. what if timing and space was just an excuse that we used to separate two hearts that beat simultaneously. maybe we are going to live the rest of our lives watching the wrong story unfold.

If you're like me you struggle with walking away from situations that aren't healthy for you If you're like me it is hard to see the line between I care for you and I will put your needs before mine until my feet are blistered from racing to catch you every time you fall If you're like me then listen Walking away from situations that are hurting you does not mean that you are heartless It means that you have outgrown the shoes you've been using to chase unreciprocated love It means that you are learning to value yourself You have not lost your capacity to love You are discovering how to love you.

the thing about the sadness is that it isn’t invasive. it doesn’t walk in on a beautiful day and suddenly everything becomes dim. it is different than that. sadness doesn’t kidnap its victims it befriends them. it doesn’t walk in forcefully and drag you down it invites you, tells you exactly what you want to hear: you are safe, there are no expectations here. it promises you rest at the cost of happiness. there are no chains tying me to sadness but i go willingly.

some things you should know about loving me: i will take some time to trust you my heart is a little black and blue from hands that were a little too clumsy to hold it i keep myself a little bit hidden i keep my walls a little bit high but when they fall you won’t have to remind me of your birthday i hold in my heart the freckle counting text me when you’re home call me when you need me kind of love i won’t let you have a single doubt in your mind that the love song stuck in my head says anything but your name because the thing about having a heart with walls around it is that once you’re let inside it makes a safe place to stay

You’re sure you won’t come with me?’ We were sure. He dropped us at the main gate of the station with cheery shouts of farewell and drove off about 1.30 in the morning to ‘round off his evening’. We were soon to learn that certain ‘Southern gentlemen’ dropped in to the local brothel with the easy nonchalance Englishmen pop into their local pub—but without their wives, of course! Generally speaking, it was rare for us to leave the station other than at weekends. Our working hours were long and our leisure hours short; so we had to find our entertainment within the station. However, almost every day we found time to swim in the lagoon which separates the mainland from Santa Rosa Island, where the big flying-boats taxied in and out, the deep rumble of their Pratt and Whitneys music to our ears. We became expert with surf-boards—rectangles of wood about the size of a large tea-tray with a pair of rope reins, towed behind a fast motor-boat. Was it the fore-runner of water-skis? The technique seems to have been virtually the same. But, whatever one’s leisure activities, life

i’m afraid i’m the girl that your mother warned you about. the kind who is a little too damaged to love. the kind that you can tell will break your heart before you’ve gotten the chance to learn her middle name. i am the result of too many closed doors, too many goodbyes, too many tattoos for people who have died. i am nothing if not self-aware but being aware of my tendency to run away from love doesn’t make me any less likely to panic the instant you try to get close. i won’t stand in your way, but one day you will find out that i’m the girl your mother warned you about.

you leave me empty in all the best ways empty of the doubt that no one will be able to love me empty of the certainty that i will always be a little bit short of what someone is looking for empty of all the things i was never meant to be full of so much time i wasted looking for someone to make me feel full i never realized that being emptied was always what i needed more

i’ve never been one to expect blue skies i’ve never been one to anticipate the best. that makes trust difficult for me. that makes placing my hope in people impossible. this is how i knew you were special. the moment i met you, trust became easy. anticipating the best wasn’t so difficult for me. i’ve never met someone who’s very nature drew sunlight from within me. the moment i met you, i started anticipating skies that were blue. everything that was difficult for me became easy when i was with you.

i can’t help but wonder what it would be like to be the girl that gets to meet your family.

they say when you grow up in a burning house you think the whole world is on fire. i didn’t grow up in a burning house. i grew up in a house where we hid the fire. i grew up in a house where everyone was secretly burning on the inside, but we didn’t dare speak of it. i grew up in a house where we wore our armor like a badge of honor and pretended that nothing ever hurt us.

i am fully submerged in water and everyone keeps asking if i need any help can’t they see i can’t speak underwater i can’t even breathe

i don’t feel like i need to impress you to keep you here. you might not suppose that means much, but i’ve been fighting for people to stay for so long that i thought i forgot how to just love someone. how to just be loved. how to let my existence be the only thing they’re looking for in me. thank you for helping me believe that i have always been enough that i don’t have to be anything more that i shouldn’t feel like being loved is something i must beg for

maybe the consistency we need to embrace is the surety of change. i’ve decided to stop putting my faith in happiness. rather i choose to believe there is balance in the way the good and the bad shake hands. i choose to believe there is hope in the change i don’t understand.

sometimes we don’t need someone to bring back the sun sometimes we just need someone to sit with us in the rain

i’ve been staring at myself i keep wishing that i could find the reason that you left in my mirror sometimes i think it’s in the shape of my nose or in my untamable hair but you always told me you adored those things so, if on the outside, i am enough for you if i can’t find the reason you left in my mirror then it must be inside of me that is my greatest fear ~reflection
