You're allowed to be excited about the little things. you're allowed to be goofy. you're allowed to be dorky about your favorite tv shows. you're allowed to make blanket forts, to enjoy cheesy movies, even just to sleep with stuffed animals. you're allowed to do any of the things that make life a little more bearable. it's fine, ok?


Shoutout to the people who are traumatized by an event that didn't bother them at first. By something that they didn't realize hurt them. By something that happened when they were young and naïve and didn't know what to do so they forced the memory out of their head. By something that only started affecting them recently. You are valid and I see you.

"this letter is goodbye...

Goodbye my best friend, the keeper of my heart. I don't want to leave you but I have to before I need you. I want to stay and be best friends like it used to before relationships got in the way. I hate being in love with you, I'm sure you feel the same way. We never work out but i never get over you either. We still might pass each other on the streets or when we're out with friends. It will hurt but being around you hurts me more. I can't be in your arms and that's where I want to be. I crave your kisses on my bare lips and your hand holding mine. I get homesick when I haven't seen you in so long, you're the home of my secrets and I hope you always keep them. If only you knew I had one more secret and its about you. Maybe I should say it right before I go, I love you more than I should. I want to call you mine and I want you to show me off like im the prettiest girl you've ever seen, but that will never happen because im me. You have too much pride to tell yourself that you love a girl who isn't like the rest, I have faith, good grades, and im not one for trouble. You say you love me as a best friend but your eyes tell me otherwise especially when lit by the moon in the sky. So I guess this is goodbye now, when you tell yourself you love me, can I be second to know? Make sure your first so my much needed, much craved hug doesn't kill you.

Goodbye, I'll forever love you."
