You never broke me, you know? When you broke my heart, you unknowingly taught me to stand on my own two feet. You taught me I could love someone through absence, indifference and distance, you showed me that love doesn’t necessarily need to be returned to be in invincible. You saved me. And for that, thank you.

There is a place in the heart that will never be filled; a space. And even during the best moments, and the greatest times, we will know it.
Charles Bukowski
(via parasitiisms)
It’s killing you.
People keep getting hurt
and you just can’t stop it.
I am not violent. I am not malicious. I am a result.
Death, The Book Thief (via brivid)
She learned how to smile with blood in her mouth. She was brave, she was beautiful but it was ugly.

Some people are just born to fight, I think.
It’s not that they’re born brave. It’s not that they’re born strong. It’s just that the universe has decided that this one, this one will have grit and fire and steel in their blood. And it’ll be tested, this cosmic mettle of theirs. They’ll face trial after trial, be broken and damaged in countless ways.
But this one was born to fight. Maybe it’s not the life they would have chosen. Maybe they’d love to lay down their arms. But they were born to fight. It’s what they know. It’s what they do best. It’s all they can do.
I’m still learning to love the parts of me that no one claps for.

who else is blossoming into a beautiful young woman with no chill
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whisperedwhere does it hurt?
it answered everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.
