I’m not scared to say I love you With you, I’m safe Safe from being shattered Safe from being hurt Safe from pain I’ve already felt Please don’t ever let this end I don’t think I could bear it

Sometimes it feels like the world is going to end.. Life is hard. People aren’t who you think they are...not everyone is good But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be Jobs aren’t always easy Money isn’t always abundant Friends come and go Relationships end The only consistent thing in life is yourself As cliche as it is, everything happens for a reason People leave your life because you don’t need them The job you left wasn’t right for you Your significant other was not your person like you thought they were You are the most important person in your life So take care of yourself Let go of toxic things in your life Buy that item you’ve been itching to have Call in from work once in awhile Give yourself a break If you don’t love the life you have, change what is in your control In the end, it’s not going to matter Life isn’t forever Be who you want to be Love who you love Do what makes you happy Don’t worry about what other people think Just give yourself a chance.

When I was little, I used to pick all of the petals off the flowers in the backyard and scatter them on the grass, on the dirt, on rocks, in the pool, on the play set, and anywhere else you could imagine thinking it would make everything look more beautiful and colorful, but little did I know that I was killing the flowers in the process. I didn't realize I was doing the same to myself until I couldn't give the best parts of me to people because they were already gone. I gave pieces of myself to everyone I ever cared about and those pieces of me died after I couldn't get them back. Don't pluck your petals and leave yourself with a stem. You're so much more than that. B.S.

Petals
I hope you find someone who falls hard for you. I hope you find someone who loves you at 1pm and loves you even more at 3am. I hope you find someone who throws bits of food at you and laughs as loud as they want in fancy restaurants and doesn't care what other people think. I hope you find someone who lights candles and makes you tea while watching your favorite movie. I hope you find someone who wakes up in the middle of the night and covers you with a blanket so you're not cold. I hope you find someone who wakes up in the morning smiling at you and kisses the top of your head while you're still sleeping. I hope you find someone who is willing to pick you up from your house late at night when you don't feel well because they want to take care of you. I hope you find someone who picks you up and dances around the kitchen while they're making you dinner. I hope you find someone who sings at the top of their lungs because they know it makes you smile no matter how obnoxious they sound. I hope you find someone who holds your hand while driving. I hope you find someone who reminds you of how important you are. I hope you find someone who tries to makes you smile even if you're mad at them. I hope you find someone who surprises you with your favorite candy on days you feel low. I hope you find someone who randomly grabs you and kisses you like it's the first time all over again. I hope you find someone who's not afraid to feel absolutely everything for you. I hope you find someone who doesn't let you cry yourself to sleep while you're laying next to them. I hope you find someone who gets drunk and goes on late night walks with you. I hope you find someone who writes you letters just because. I hope you find someone who will find you a rock or shell on the beach to keep as a memory from your adventure. I hope you find someone who puts in as much effort as you do. I hope you find someone who tries to love you more than you love them. I hope you find someone who loves you with everything they have. I hope you find a love so strong it consumes you.

When did your home stop feeling like a home? Was it when the clocks stopped ticking? Or when the lights started flickering and you were too tired to change the bulbs? Was it when the flowers leading up the drive way wilted? Or when the windows became too hard to open because they were stuck? Did you realize it when the shower was always a touch too cold and your sink wouldn't drain completely? Was it when your favorite foods didn't taste the same way and your fridge was always empty? Was it when the candles you've always burned didn't have a wick to light anymore? Maybe home was never really home. A home doesn't take more than it gives. A home is what protects you, not makes you feel vulnerable. A home keeps you warm, not allows you to shiver until your muscles ache. A home is what keeps the light inside your eyes lit and keeps the flame in your heart burning. A home would never blow that flame out. Maybe your home wasn't your real home. You were just renting it until you could settle into your permanent one.

I have fallen in love with you so many different times. I fell in love with you when I first saw you, although I didn't really know you yet. I fell in love with you when you told me you wanted me to be yours. I fell in love with you once I got to know you, the real you. I fall in love with you every time I wake up next to you and the first thing I see is your smile. I fall in love with you every time you wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning and pull me against you. I fell in love with you even more the first time you told me that you loved me. I fall in love with you every time you tell me i'm beautiful even when I don't feel like I am. I fall in love with you whenever you make plans for our future; not just yours, but ours. I fall in love with you more and more everyday which I never thought was possible. Sometimes it hurts how much I love you, but it's a love I'll never regret.

Your walls heard all of the confessions I whispered to you while you were asleep. They heard me talk about how terrified I was to fall for you. They heard me say that I was scared that you were going to get to know me better and you weren't going to want me anymore the first time I stayed in your bed. They heard me tell you that you made me happier than anyone ever has and that you're the reason why I can finally wake up in the morning and actually get myself out of bed. They heard me tell you that it hurts when you drink yourself sick and I'm worried that you're going to destroy yourself. They heard me tell you that I hate how you bail on me and that it makes me feel unimportant to you even though you fell asleep with me wrapped up in your arms. They heard me tell you that I could spend my entire life with you and I would never get tired of you. They heard me whisper "I love you" for the first time and then later heard me say it over and over again until I fell asleep with my face buried in your chest. Your walls have heard everything I never had the guts to say. They heard everything. I just hope that they can keep my secrets and I wonder what secrets my walls are keeping, too. B.S.

Secrets in the walls
People always talk about finding "the one," the one who completes them and makes them feel like a unified being. I hate to break it to you, babe, but you're not "the one" for me. You're much more than "the one". You're more like the "the seventeen" and maybe even one day you'll be more like "the sixty three". Now you're probably reading this and thinking "what the **** are you even saying?" Which is a valid question because I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time either, but you already knew that. What I mean by this is you're not just one big lump of you. There's so many different you's that's put into one body. There's a you that makes me laugh uncontrollably and a you that makes me want to tear my hair out. There's also a you that knows how to calm me down and a you that protects me when I can't protect myself. There's a you that walks me to my car even when it's just a minute away. One day, there might be a you that argues with me about what color we should paint the walls of our living room and who knows, there might even be a you who loves your kids more than anything, but a you who puts your foot down when you think they're getting out of line. So, no. You aren't "the one." You're the endless amounts of you and I want them all in every possible way. B.S.

Endless amounts of you
You asked me what my biggest fear is and I'm sure you were expecting something ordinary like heights or snakes or swimming at night which yes, I admit I am afraid of, but that's not my biggest fear. My biggest fear is you realizing how big of a mess I am. I get drunk too much and don't sleep enough. I spend more time running away rather than trying to keep the people I care about more than anything close. I need constant reassurance and I don't know how to make decisions. My biggest fear is that you're going to realize that you didn't really know me at all. You know the little things about me but you've never seen me at 2 am when I'm shaking so hard it hurts and I can't breathe for who knows what reason. My biggest fear is that you're going to watch the stars fade from my eyes and you're not going to see anything left in me. B.S.

You told me that loving me hurt. It hurt to love me and I never understood why until I tried to love myself. You're right, it did hurt. I understand now that it hurts to love someone that could never love you back the way you love them. It hurts loving someone who loves the duller things in life but also loves every god **** thing this world has to offer and there's no way to keep up with them. It hurts because you don't want to hold them back from what makes them happy. It hurts loving someone who's so distant but also needs to keep you as close as possible and you have no idea how to keep them from slipping away. It hurts loving someone who never knows what they want and can never make a decision so you're constantly frustrated. It hurts loving someone who doesn't trust you or anyone that you're around. They don't trust anyone for that matter. It hurts loving someone that flinches every time you try to touch them and you have no idea why. But you know, love is supposed to hurt sometimes. Love isn't supposed to make you feel like you're constantly walking on clouds. Love makes you feel like you have an anchor chained to your ankle and it's dragging you to the bottom of the ocean. Love makes you feel a heavy weight on your chest sometimes and that's ******* okay. I get it, though. Loving me hurt. But loving me doesn't hurt anymore ever since I stopped loving you. So I guess it wasn't me, it was you. Loving me hurt because of you. B.S.
