“Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly… And when I got it it turned to dust in my hands.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned (via ihopeyoulook)
Note To Self
In being your authentic self you will come across people who only want to deal with you in pieces or in terms that fit them, but you were not made in fragments. You are created as a whole - magnificent, glorious, flawed, beautiful and captivating creature…and you deserved to be handled as such!
“But the writing was the real freedom, because nobody told me what to do there. That was my world and my imagination. And all my life it’s been that way, even now.”
—Toni Morrison (via genderfuckher)
Would you laugh if I told you I carry your words around like a new born?
They remind me that I am not all gunpowder and pepper, I am mostly sugar and opened arms.
It is the drum of the heart that leads one to another’s soul
For the lighted path is always along a darkened, treacherous road
And while confidence is absent without belief,
True magic is love that allows someone to always feel free
