“You are not responsible for the happiness of others. Even the people you love. Sometimes, no matter what you do, sadness is unavoidable. But please remember that that is not your fault. You can’t love someone’s pain away, but you can love them through it. You cannot stop them from hurting, but you can be there to hold them when the hurt settles in. Being there with them and doing everything you can is sometimes all you can do, but that is more than enough in every way. I know you want to be the hero of their story, but the hero of their story is them, whether they realize it or not. Do not think any less of yourself because you can’t save them. But be so damn proud of yourself that you are there to help them save themselves.”— Something I Needed to Hear
“Have you ever wanted to save someone from their own darkness so badly that you are willing to set yourself on fire just to light the way? Even if it melts your flesh and cracks your bones, you’d be okay with keeping them warm.”— Odett G.
Anonymous asked: Are you a Gold Star lesbian? (Just in case you don't know what it means, a Gold Star lesbian is a lesbian that has never had sex with a guy and would never have any intentions of ever doing so)
I don’t believe in the concept of “gold star” lesbians. It suggests that girls who’ve slept with a male are inferior or less pure than those who haven’t.
Don’t ask people that in the future
Your first love is an illusion. You throw all these concepts and attach them to a person. And everyone after them will never measure up. This is because your first love has no expectations. You enter that relationship blind and naive. You love them unconditionally and give them your whole heart because you don’t know any better. And that is why it’s devasting when they leave, because we haven’t experienced the pain that follows their departure.

i continued to love you,
even after you broke my heart
because you were my first love
and i didn’t know what it is
that you’re supposed to do
with all that love resting in your hands
when you cannot give it
to the person
you first fell in love with.

Stop thinking about everything so much, you’re breaking your own heart.
