The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.
― St. Augustine (354–430)

I swear to fucking god if I ever kill myself please stop anyone from making a facebook page in my dedication
this site is slowly turning me into one of those crabby old women sitting on a porch with a rifle to ward off small children and bored teenagers from peeing on her lawn and digging up her garden
It’s so sad that some of the loveliest and kindest people dislike themselves a lot
How far have you walked for men who’ve never held your feet in their laps?
How often have you bartered with bone, only to sell yourself short?
Why do you find the unavailable so alluring?
Where did it begin? what went wrong? And who made you feel so worthless?
If they wanted you, wouldn’t they have chosen you?
All this time, you were begging for love silently, thinking they couldn’t hear you, but they smelt it on you, you must have known that they could taste the desperate on your skin?
And what about the others that would do anything for you, why did you make them love you until you could not stand it?
How are you both of these women, both flighty and needful?
Where did you learn this, to want what does not want you?
Where did you learn this, to leave those that want to stay?
