I couldn’t even tell you about anything that I saw. I didn’t talk to anybody. The cicadas kept dying outside, and as I dreamed, my mouth grew thick and venomous with silence.”
Yiwei Chai, The Jacaranda Years
Grief is just love with no place to go.

1 year ago • 29 notesi want to be myself unconditionally and be loved for just that - but that does not exist in this lifetime. i wish i was softer and loved more tenderly, i wish i felt the sun the same way that i used to. i wish i felt the lightness that i hear people talk about. i don’t want to feel this constant weight and the shadows all around me, happiness is such an unattainable grey area and all i have ever wanted out of this lifetime is to be loved in the softest form.

To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.
