“Her heartbeat broke the sound barrier.” 6-Word Story #64 (via writingsforwinter)

“

go after her. fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call. go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign because it might never come.

don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television show or tornado.

there are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying three thousand miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do.

go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.

I don’t care if this is ridiculously girly and maybe a hair naive. I think it’s so right anyway.

“Why do you live in your body like you will be given another? As if it were temporary. You starve it, you let anyone touch it, you berate it. Tell it that should be completely different. You tug at your soft flesh, wish it thinner, wish it gone. You fall in love with those who praise the way it sighs under their hands, but who praises the way it holds up your weight, even when you are falling apart?” Warsan Shire (via wryer)

“It feels good to think about you when I’m warm in bed. I feel as if you’re curled up there beside me, fast asleep. And I think how great it would be if it were true.” Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood  (via fixxychild)
