Not everyone deserves to
Receive it

And that is okay

means more than ***

you have no defenses when you are asleep
you tell no lies”
~
44. do you ever get weirded out
by the fact that everyone around you
is constantly within their own mind
and thinking a million secret thoughts
and battling internal struggles
just like you
and that you’re not the only one who thinks these things
and that the people around you
aren’t just faces meant to fill up your life
but they’re actually really deep people
who have a lot more to them
than you ever actually even think about

take some time for yourself

at how much hotter i can become
how much potential i don’t unlock
for no reason other than laziness
