no matter what you do for some people, it will never be right.

~

sometimes you have to be prepared to do something you don’t agree with, creatively, to get a job.

~

no matter how common the name, i still inwardly gasp every time i meet someone with the same first name as me.

~

being afraid of losing someone does not mean you love them, or even that you want them in your life.

~

i thought i was firm in ridding my life of people that are no good for me, but i realise how much power i give away to people when they treat me like a princess. and my heart never learns. family, friends, boyfriends … there’s no difference. the question shouldn’t be about love … it should be about whether or not you’re good for me, and whether or not i’m good for you.

~

your displays of affection confuse me. i know you care, i know you might even love me, but why do you always make it about you and your feelings? why can’t you ever love me because of who i am, not what i can do for you?

~

if you define yourself by something, it becomes all you are. i can’t help how others define me. but i’m not going to define myself by it. i am more than the sum of my parts. and these parts aren’t interested in being told that i fit your idea of sexy because you have a particular fetish. been there, heard that, and still not interested.

~

love me for who i am, or don’t waste my time with your empty embraces, your shallow promises of devotion or your lustful glances.

~

if death comes before the knowledge, does it change anything? would you still know anyway? are you better off not knowing? am i better off without you knowing? can i tell you that i love you? can i tell you that you only love yourself?

~

how can you love someone who can´t love? how can you nuture a nightmare, or cradle a monster to your bosom?

~

love leads to hate unless tempered with respect.
