Sometimes my heart speaks - and at these times I write, I write with a furiosity and a rapidity in an outpouring of emotion and words and metaphors all tangled up in each other.

I write to live - I live through writing. These words, they help me to make sense of the world.

Someday I will find what I seek.

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are — that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person — someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

- Galway Kinnell (via runawaytrain)

I would love to bubble-wrap my heart and stow it away, would love to bottle this misery and watch it dissipate; would infinitely prefer having nothing at all than constantly thinking things will change. It is the expectations that kill me from inside, not the wait.

You only remember being lonely at night, when the world has fallen asleep, when it could care less if you were awake or alive. You only talk when there is no one left to listen. Does that make it easier on you? It doesn’t seem to work for me. I don’t know what works any more. I thought I could, but apparently I can’t. I keep telling myself I haven’t made it this far without being capable alone, but this form of being alone is harder to swallow when you think you have people to talk to, realizing you can’t. It would be so much easier on the heart not knowing.
